Yeah, but Matteaus had already won a World Cup. And he had the championshop ripped out of his hands by a stunning comeback. I can even understand the Swedes at the world juniors. Being second over and over again sucks. But England has never been second. They never even trailed in the final. They lost just like most other teams have lost.
You should go back and watch the Italians in Euro 2000 after France snatched victory from them. And this is after going through 90, 94 and 98. I think Albertini is still crying.
