I’m so glad I’m English and not Scottish, I’d hate for my whole life to be dominated by an inferiority complex which would lead to me becoming embittered and constantly sniping at my neighbour whose only feeling towards myself and fellow countrymen is pity
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The upside of being Scottish is that while they have to follow their shiiiity joke of a national football team, they can also support anyone playing England, so they get their victories every now and then that helps supress their enduring bitterness

Of course we won the World Cup. We won it on my 21st birthday. So it was fated to happen.

OP

As one that was at Wembley for the 1966 Cup Final, I can categorically say that the ball crossed the line, even though I was 150 yards away at the other end of the ground. My eyesight was very good for a 17 year old at the time.

England did indeed win the World Cup in 66.

So many easy bites and we’re not even in the competition 😂😂😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks to me like a lot of people taking the pi$$ out of the jocks for basically being ginger, wearing skirts and not being able to hold their drink, eating porridge and fried mare bars and wetting the bed.

If you were an idiot you might confuse that with biting, I suppose. But you would have to be a big idiot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

My surprise is you think it’s taking the pisss. It’s childish stuff but hey, you keep on giggling away.

Such bitterness you feel you have to do it in the first place. Also appears like some inferiority issues at play.

1966 was justice for Lampard's disallowed goal.

Pre-justice. Minority report meets football.

Not to mention the basic flaw in this idiot's argument....the score was 2-2 when Hurst's goal went in, so if not given, we would have just gone on to win it when his injury time goal went in later.
At no point in the game were England actually losing, so how did we manage to "not" win the world cup ?
How did Germany manage to "win" the '66 final if they were never winning during the game ?
God, Scotland must be a sad place to come from.

It's a nice country but their obsession with English sports teams is ridiculous.

You do know the course of the game would change so probably wouldnt get the same chance later on in the game

didnt Scotland become World Champions by being the first country to beat the reigning World Champions at Wembley in 1967?

posted on 2/12/22

Interestingly the op has posted an image of the 1966 goal from an oblique angle from which it would be impossible to tell if the ball was over the line or not.

Last nights one might have shown grass between the bottom of the ball and the line, however that can happen but if the side of all overhangs the line by even a millimetre then the ball is still in play.

Why would any nation feel inferior to Scotland? Your men wear skirts.

I'm not sure I'm going to sleep tonight.

Firstly tonight I find out the Germans get knocked out in the groups by a fiercely contested and yet correct VAR decision and then I find out England beat Germany to win the World Cup on home soil because there was no VAR.

I'm just going to have to live with this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Feel for you man, for all of us, but I guess we’ll just have to be stoic and muddle through somehow. Best way is to remember there’s always someone worse off - like Scottish people for example, with their double figure cholesterol levels and ridiculous ginger hair.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Against all odds, with some blitz spirit and a dash of stip upper lipness, it turns out I slept wonderfully.

One world cup, two world wars.

if that was ball was still in play last night, compared with the evidence we have from 1966, England can count themselves very, very, lucky. Just as well we won 4-2.

But the Lampard one....

posted on 2/12/22

It is interesting though as most of the people saying that it didn't matter because it ended 4-2, are clearly wumming. But there are people out there who think that's how football works and it didn't make a difference.

Anyway, the Lampard one didn't matter because it was 4-1 anyway so would have just been 4-2.

did we want the Welsh and Scottish regiments in either of these World Wars to beat the Germans, too?
