As a fanbase, we are occasionally (correctly) accused of obsessing over history. Are we witnessing the best of all time in the current team?

Nigel Sims was brilliant, but he didn't get my vote.

Nahhh. The last game I ever watched as an England supporter was Brazil in 2002, and I'll never forgive him for being lobbed by that goofy motherfucker.

I had just started a new job, and they said that England fans could come in late if they wanted to watch the game (think it was about 7am UK kick off time). I had to pretend to be sad about the result all day.

I had recently started at my new job and also got to watch it at work.

Ronaldinho is my favourite world class player. Made everything look easy and did it all with a smile on his face.

Anyway, back on topic, I feel like Sam Hardy is a victim of being too long ago. If we did this poll in about 1920 he'd have romped to victory.

I hate him. And all modern Brazilian footballers. Fucking showboating twats.

The 7-1 was glorious.

We were given the first two lessons off school to watch it, and two thirds of the school (the two thirds who were Man Utd fans, funnily enough) were loving it. Fucking wankers.

Since 2004, I wouldn't piss on the England team if they were on fire. But boy do I still hate fucking Brazil.

I go through waves with the England team. I can't stand the cheat Saka but most of them seem pleasant enough now, and winning with a foreign manager would shut up some weirdos. I didn't like them in 2002, though. Mainly because of the "all foreigners are divers/we love Michael Owen" double standard, IIRC.

I generally dislike Brazil because of the tedious mythology that surrounds them. No, they don't generally win because they all play keepy uppy on the beach from the age of three. They generally win because there are 250 million of them and they are utterly shit at every other sport.

I remember wowing a half-German girl I was seeing shortly after the 2002 World Cup by explaining that I wanted Germany to win. Shockingly,  we never ended up having sex. I should have listed the 1982 European Cup runners-up squad to get her going.

Oh, and erm, yes. Wankers.
