The Poles knocked us out in 1973, Italians in 1977 and the Dutch/Norwegians in 1993.

How in hell could those countries knock out England in years without any international national competitions?

Cali,
Typical liberal - it's wrong to show any kind of patriotism, and that includes optimism about your team's chances in the world cup.

Didn't England play in 94? Oh well, maybe they didn't.

It's not about being against the team spinky. It's about having a realistic outlook on the world.

I'm realistic about football. One result doesn't make a world cup. We haven't even qualified from the group yet! I'm hyper superstitious about England football matches and if I ever get my hopes up that we'll win I'm convinced we'll lose. And it matters way, way too much for me to take any kind of risk, I was screaming at teh commentators to shut up when they kept talking about a heroic victory before the end of the match.
And f*ck you about the liberal thing, who cares about politics, this is football, THIS is important. That's why we can't get carried away, we'll jinx ourselves!
Let's take it one game at a time!

Cali, amongst my generation at least, it's very trendy to be a liberal.
Anyway, I was going to start a new thread for this, but this is the UWA Greens at Aberystwyth Town's last game of the season. I'm holding the number five shirt.

I love the over-optimism/over-pessimism of english sports fans.

Exactly, it's not unpatriotic to be realistic.

It probably would have been fun. That is, unless all the liberals decided that they didn't have the brainpower to make a response and instead just give the post a score.

Why don't you post trolls that are less obviously trolls? Then people might respond properly.
Can't believe you are trying to turn this into politics.

I remember the giddy excitement of the english in the Rugby WC in 95 when they beat australia in the quarter final. Anyone would have thought they had just won the world cup!
I was living in London at the time. In the next game England were crushed by NZ, and I remember walking along High st Kensington afterwards and some woman saw I had a rugby jersey on and asked if england won. She looked so gutted when I told her they lost.

That's the British for you; we have mood swings on a national level based entirely on how our respective sports teams are doing.

Outside a pub up the road, there are people standing on bus-stops waving St George flags. Flags are everywhere...on the road..on pavements...everyone is bladdered across England!
