A third of all of England's Euro wins ever came in Euro 2020 lmao
We’re proper shit at that tournament.
Beating you guys at Wembley in the final will forever be one our fondest memories
Coulda just ended just shit honestly.
Don’t think there’s any other country’s media that overhypes the National team quite like ours lol.
Well we’ve at least won a World Cup and had some decent runs down the years. Aside from in Euro 96 and 21 we’ve been a disaster in the Euros. Knocked out at the group stage in 1980, 1988, 1992 and 2000, finishing bottom of the group twice. Failed to qualify in 1984 and 2008 and won only one knockout game that wasn’t held in England ever (4-0 vs Ukraine in Rome).
The most annoying thing is that people kept saying "bring it home" but they never won the Euro before
Ah yes that famous song bring it home, bring it, bring football home!
You'll sing YNWA though
It's called a joke
Barely a top 10 European NT, bit shocking for a country with England's means and culture.
Crazy stat I saw the other day: if you subtract London, the GDP of the rest of England is lower than the poorest US state
