Very important question here. During the England-France game how long will it be before any of the commentators mentions "1966". Answers in minutes and seconds please. I'll start the ball rolling.

Hmmmm......Of course, if Scotland had ever won a World Cup, (Or anything for that matter! :roll: :wink: ) they would just forget all about it and never mention it again would they!? I think not. :roll: :?
England currently have an approximate population difference of 50 million people to perm a team from and you've won a total number of ONE more trophy than us, and we've won none.manx_yessir said:
Not an overly impressive return for that many more potential players is it?? (I know not all 50 million are eligible but pro-rata it!)
I give it 20 mins before kick off before they mention it.
*edit* having said that I'll be rooting for them cos I'm a Scot but British and proud.

Actually I'm not English either. Or British. I'm Manx (you don't say! :roll: ) But I'll still be supporting England. If the Isle of Man were in the European Champs, I'd be cheering them on instead. As the population is only around 75,000, we don't stand much chance of that ever happening!

They'll mention it before kickoff I'd imagine

Ok we English will stop mentioning 66 if you Scot's stop mentioning the only thing you ever won - Bannockburn or something about 700 years ago. Ha Ha 
Surely the best thing to stop 66 talk is for Enland to win again. So come on, give England your support. If the roles were reversed we would be 100% behind your boys.

My favourite ever t-shirt was just after Scotland won their last Grand Slam against England at Murrayfield. It said:
Bannockburn 1314
Murrayfield 13-7
and it was available by the time folk walked back into town from the match
Seriously though, I like the England football team and the majority of their fans too but I get well wound up by the commentators and the newspapers - it's nothing personal

couldn't stop laughing... sorry guys but to hear the same commentator that was so jubilant about man utd's last 2 goals in 1999, sounding so deeply hurt by the french doing the same thing was just hilarious!!
Honestly I think England didn't deserve to win the way they played in the second half. They obviously came out to defend for 45 minutes and that always ends in tears!!

Our Youth Fellowship last night was set aside for watching the football - only thing was, the host was a Scotsman who walked round at the end of practice on Thursday playing the Marseillaise . No doubt he donned his Rangers/Scotland shirt, if not his kilt, and enjoyed the end of the match to the full :shock: :wink: :lol:
