Yeah; the winning goals in both 1966 and 1974 were illegal, and both championships should have been reversed.

Of course the 2-1 was offside already and the 3-2 was not a goal...

Agreed, Those were the days before replay which would change the way the game was called. They also added a referee having 2 instead of just 1. Even then they both miss things and it has to go to the replay. If the replay is inconclusive they will go with the call on the ice.

Yup, They wouldn't have been allowed in this day and age with the replay being introduced.

English still dining out on winning it, ignoring the 56 subsequent years of failure.

I don’t think that is the case, not at all, in fact I’d say the culture and attitudes toward the English National Football team are quite the opposite.

While there is the cyclic head-up-the-metaphorical-ass silly optimism every time the international calendar crops up with another opportunity to lose on penalties, generally speaking us English are painfully aware of the lack of progress by the national team. Although the squad have stopped making dreadful pop songs, which is a win of sorts.

I think the English assume that their national team should be in the WORLD top 6 or so teams, having won the world cup and all. But for most of the last 50+ years, they haven't even been consistently among EUROPE's top 6 teams.

I love how dedicated the English football/soccer fans are. Kind of like the Toronto Maple leaf fans only the English football/soccer team has won more Championships than the the Toronto Maple leaf's since 1967.

Erm... neither England team has won anything since 1966... Even both Dutch teams have done (slightly) better since 1967.

I disagree; in fact being in the “top 6” in world football is irrelevant to the England supporter’s deluded mindset, which is centred on the trophy itself. A delusion protected by walls of cognitive dissonance and a stubborn refusal to consider reality.
