Careful, I’m old enough to remember another night of shame when England were trounced by another bunch of so called ‘no hopers’. Any one remember the notorious commentator…”Maggie Thatcher! Your boys took one hell of a beating” etc. No it wasn’t a comment on the Corporal’s service record, but a World Cup qualifier in Oslo, September 1981. Never laughed so much after an England game, ‘almost’ spilled my pint. Yeah, thanks Norway for digging you out of the snow in WW2!
Think we were a tad lucky – Spain or Germany would play England off the park. Still, a win is a win and just heard on five live , a headline suggestion, England beat Ikea flat-pack four!!
Hilarious, though totally misguided! I saw this earlier and posted to facebook!
Haha they aren’t short of confidence the Swedes.
I know – good for them.
Reckon its going to be another one of those games, lots of huffing and puffing on our part with no result!
