Originally posted by Mordac View PostDidn't think it would take you long Shaun. Still, in a "who's won the World Cup" contest, you're 2-0 down. Not getting any easier, is it?
With the far greater resources at their disposal, England really ought to be realistically expecting to at least get to the semi-finals of most major tournaments. The fact that they consistently fail to do so is the really laughable aspect to all of this.
Maybe if they got themselves a decent manager instead of insisting upon mediocre semi-talented Englishmen?“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostYou have highlighted the whole problem with England Mordac. They are content to use Scotland as a benchmark when they really SHOULD be using major nations for comparison. Leaving aside the early anomalous performances of Uruguay, no country with the limited resources that the likes of Scotland has available can be serious about winning major competitions. Bearing that in mind, it could be argued that Scotland have in fact over-achieved just by getting to the finals as often as they have (bit out of form at the moment mind!! ).

Oldham played host to the Manchester Giants American football team iirc, because rugby pitches were too manly for them.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
