england's biggest rivals....

talking about football...

germany...? scotland..?

not for me, there's only one rival... argentina...

here's my short list:

1: argentina
2: everyone else

Agreed.

Argentina it is.

And the shame as well as the stain on England's face shall not be cleaned until England either:

(a) Wins a world cup, beating Argentina in the final by 8-0

or

(b) Invades Argentina, rapes all their women, and puts the presidential palace on fire.

😵 well, i think 'b' could be said we're taking the rivalry a little too far... i think beating argentina in a world cup final 1-0... the goal scored by any england player with his hand would be pretty sweet...

couldnt we have someone a bit more realistic.....Wales?

It has to be Argentina.

I mean its like, Manchester Uniteds biggest rivals are Liverpool, not Manchester City, Chelsea or AFC Leeds.

We pity Scotland and Wales (in football terms) like United pity City.

Good point.
England can't really justify claiming they are anything better than last 16 material in the World Cup or even the European championships.

The press build up our expectations, our players on paper should be capable of being in with a shout at winning if they play well.

Problem is for the 30 years we never have, except maybe in 1996, Gascoigne gave us hope and we almost reached a final.

Still Argentina are our rivals, the only presance Scotland have in the world cup or European championships is a Scottish referee😉
