Remind me how often your country has played in the world Cup Finals, or any finals?
Football only got popular here after we stuffed you in 1988, strangely enough. We then realised, hey, teh whole world has cottoned onto the fun it is to beat the English at a game they invented, so we hopped on the band wagon.
We were there in 1990, '94, and 2002. You were there in 1990, missed 1994, were cr@p in 1998, were equally cr@p in 2002, and then this. You should be proud.

Christ, if we're going to look at 1988, why not go further and look at 1966? I know how much the sweaty socks like the events of 1966.
or wembley 1977 with jordan and mcqueen.
or wembley 1981 with john robertson scoring from the spot
or 1999 at wembley with a don hutchison header.

1986 maradona
1990 waddle and pearce
1996 southgate

But we should have won in Italia 1990, we were the best team there.. this one we were poor but what to expect with a pansy manager like Erikson? We'll be back come the Euro Championships in with a good chance of winning. Sadly, I think your lot won't.
they should have went for allardyce
Originally posted by Sicilian SmaugWe'll see- but we've got some stern opposition to face- Germany and the Czech Republic. Who's in your group again? I hope it's not Northern Ireland again, for your sakes.
