WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 What about Euros, they are just as big really. someone else can do that. I've given up. Also wouldn't say the European Championships are even nearly as big as the WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also haven't been going as long as the WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Weird that we only had two (fringe) players in the England Euro '96 squad despite the fact we were the best team in the country (yeah we were so fuck off). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Have I missed something? they moved on to take the piss out of Ferdinand's shit celebration against Denmark in 2002.

MKSC Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 To be fair I'd hardly heard of him before then...though I was only 13 so had an excuse! I watched nearly all of the games at 96 and 98 and it wasn't until the final in 98 that he really shone. Most of his fame at that time came from good club performances. He was ok at Euro 96, but the problem was that despite getting to the Semi-Finals of the tournament France really weren't very good. They drew with spain in the group stages and really struggled against Romania. The only team they beat comfortably was Bulgaria. Then they drew both their QF and SF games 0-0 with both going to pens. People forget aswell that they weren't great for the most part at World Cup 98. They had Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Denmark in their group and scraped through against Paraguay in the 2R, needed penners to beat Italy in the QF and Croatia were better than them for most of the SF. It was only in the final that they really sorted it out against a very out of sorts Brazil with a ruined Ronaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Why do SSN have to go to the lengths of designing really shite aircraft cabins to show us who is in the England squad.
