This is not 1966


A truly obvious statement. However the English media would almost have you believing otherwise.

World Cup 2010 is here. England qualified for the final stages in South Africa and expected great things. Perhaps victory. Alas it wasn't to be.

They progressed to the last 16 by the skin of their teeth finishing 2nd in Group C. This put them up against rivals Germany, to battle for a place in the quarter finals. As we now know they lost to (were anihilated by) the Germans, sending Capello and co home to England.

We were all looking forward to the entertaining and excitement of the contest. Everyone was looking forward, that is except for the English media who will no doubt remind us of 1966 as many times as they can before we all fall asleep. Inspired to resist this backwardness, this site will look at 1966 from a different angle and hopefully explain this insane obsession.

England News
England qualified for World Cup 2010. So, as we heard every day, they were doubtless going to win.

We followed England's ongoing 'years of hurt'. Having reported on their trip to Germany in World Cup 2006, and their failure to qualify for Euro 2008, we kept up with their efforts in World Cup 2010.

Sven, left the England job on good terms

World Cup 2010
England, as we know, and are 'occasionally' reminded have, in the past, won the World Cup. They believe, and expect to do it again. Well, noone is holding their breath waiting. Or, perhaps they will do it next time round. Despite not even qualifying for Euro 2008, England still expects. Can they do it? Let's see.

A light-hearted look at England and their international trials and tribulations.

We found some interesting creations relating to the England squad. Some of these are cool, some not so cool, but they are all well worth a look.

England won the World Cup in 1966. Glorious or controversial?

What the 'experts' have to say.

Jimmy Hill, Alan Hansen, Terry Venables and the like. Some of them know what they're talking about. Others think they know it all, but show themselves up as prize gibbons.
