And if we had beaten France and set up that semi final vs Morocco - they whole nation would be gearing up for a World Cup Final appearance.... a Wolves v Coventry scenario....
Yes! I remember that episode. They tried to avoid the score of England v Bulgaria - and all they saw was 'England F...' They thought is was 'England Four' or 'England Five'... and it turned out to be 'England Flooded off - game postponed' :)
As a kid, I used to wait up on a Wednesday night to watch Sportsnight with Harry Carpenter, deliberately avoiding the England score so it was a surprise when I watched it. Of course that was long before Sky and the internet!
Most of the time I fell asleep because the highlights would be...
Good post. I feel similar having been England-mad since I was a nipper and feeling so patriotic at the 82, 86, 90 World Cups, and the Euros inbetween. Yet as I grew up, and other factors become more important in life, the constant failure of England at major tournaments drained my interest. I...

I did the run with my two older brothers. I was about 13.
Well said. Totally agree and still makes me furious that Forest got a pathetic 4 points deduction, and Everton got 4 points back! They should all be suitably punished and hopefully it will cost Leicester their promotion.
Still niggles me too. Especially as they avoided Man City in the draw. A Wembley semi final would have been massive for us, although our injuries would have given me concerns for the game. Last week really made me worry our season will now fizzle out, despite Gary and the boys doing so well...
