England 38 (thirty eight!) games unbeaten in qualifiers. There haven't been any games against recognised big teams in that run, and most have been against minnows like San Marino, Scotland, Moldova and Wales, so it shows that England are the very definition of flat track bullies. Qualify easily against non entity teams, but then shit the bed every single time at the finals as soon as they meet anybody decent.
How's this for a stat, we've won 6 Euro/WC knockout games since 1966. Paraguay (1986), Belgium and Cameroon (1990), Spain (1996), Denmark (2002) and Ecuador (2006). Spain remains our only ever knockout win in the Euros.
Ireland 1-0 up.

20 years ago maybe there was a lot of hysteria over the England team doing well in tournaments but nowadays no one expects us to do any goodWe went out to Iceland last time ffsThe press whip nothing up they are the biggest critics I still watch England games (tv) and want us to do well but we have a very average side and just getting out of the group stages would be a good result in Russia, I don’t think that’s getting to carried away but won’t be surprised if we fail to do even that again
