Are England the Spurs of world football?

One trophy in 91 years of tournament football, which was won when Harold Wilson was PM, followed by a few glorious failures (1970, 1986, 1990 WC) and failure to qualify for the final stages of others. Yet we still think we are one of the elite.

Let me finish by saying I'm one of those who believe that we are. We are England, there'll always be an England.

Am I deluded?

Na not really the same. We are still in the top 10 most successful international countries in the world when it comes to footy and we are spread out across lots of different sports.

When it comes to team sports is there even any other side that has won the cricket,football and rugby World Cup?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We are World Champions hockey, handball and baseball
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who are we? And is handball a team sport? Also baseball? There’s only one country I know who play baseball and that’s the u.s who egregiously call their World Series a World Series
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well we're world champions in a lot of sports. We is Netherlands. And because you're ignorant doesn't mean we're not world champions. We were baseball world champion in 2011. Handball is a team sport.

Didnt say you wasn’t. How can I be ignorant when I don’t even know what country you are speaking for? Looking back Great Britain also been champions. Can add thst to the list. Well done Netherlands and Britain

Isn't cricket the second most popular sport in the world?

If this is true it's time to cancel sport

When did I say that we are by far the most rounded sporting nation? Sounds like ur talking out ur ass.

What is it with kids on here, I’m guessing you’re a kid?if you are not then I worry about you.
The lack of reasoned debate you can have on this site of late is shocking
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I apologise

It was your pal Allison Becker that said it

"Football and cricket are by far the most popular sports in the world.

We are by far the most rounded sporting nation on the planet."
