SLOW STARTERS BOOKERS !, thats England & the stats dont lie, 1982 is the only time things even remotely went to plan, - 1954 - 1st game a draw 4- 4 with Belgium, - 2nd - beat Switzerland (the host nation), 1958 - 3 draws & still went through, 1962 - lost 2-1 to Hungary before beating Argentina 3-1, 1966 (the year we won the bloody thing) 0- 0 against Uruguay before things picked up considerably, 1970 - ok admittedly we beat Romania 1st game 1-0 but so shocked were we by this turn of events that we didnt qualify for another World Cup for 12 years, 1982 is the exception that proves the rule, all group games won, 1986 - lost 1-0 to Portugal & then drew 0-0 with Morocco & still went through, 1990 (semi finalists) drew 1-1 with The Republic Of Ireland & 0-0 with The Netherlands, 1994 - did we not like that, didnt qualify, 1998 - a win against lowly Tunisia 2-0 followed by losing to Romania 2-1, 2002 - a 1-1 draw with Sweden before Beckhams revenge on Argentina, 2006 - narrow wins against teams we should have won easily against 1-0 Paraguay & 2-0 Trinidad & Tobago, 2010 - a 1-1 draw with the USA & a 0-0 draw with Algeria, weve started the way we historically usually start & Italy are no Morocco or Algeria, nothing to worry about, have yer tea, put yer feet up, crack open a Lager & enjoy.xyoutube/watch?v=aI5Ffds1aEo
