    England can't have any complaints. They never really tried to win it.

    Why is it England never get the chance to lift the trophy, we so close yesterday then cloudn't keep it 1-0 orr scored another goal. I hate these tournaments cos it always the same, other nation chance in winning, England always faliure and everybody dount England and support other nation. 55 years how long it's going to take.

    It took the Red Sox 86yrs to overturn the 'Curse of Babe Ruth', so it could be a longer wait yet.

    Things is England inviting the game but other nations seem good at, Brazil won more World Cups and Germany won more Euros and 2nd to Brazil in winning World Cup, we are England should won few World Cups or few euros, how end up like this. Greece manage to win Euro long ago. Not be looking forward to Premie League cos so many non-English players, at school pe class lesson we mention about it, someone say non-english player better than English, which one? Greek or Iranian? Prefer to have best nation team, than best league, cos Premer League are best league cos of non-english players. Other counties never win, yeah that different, Football is popular in England and should of won something.

    You are spot on. We've had everything at our disposal but not made good enough use of it. Similar case in the Tennis.

    I shall tell you a fact about England and international football. Up until 1950, England and the English people didn't actually care that much about international football, with football supporters preferring to support their local club over country. Some people still have that attitude, very much so in the north-west of England around Liverpool and Manchester.

    England and the other British national teams withdrew from FIFA in 1920, refusing to play against countries they had just been at war with during 1914-1918.

    Then in 1930, FIFA president Jules Rimet announced that FIFA would have a world championship competition every four years. England and the other British home nations teams ignored it.

    England didn't actually rejoin FIFA until after World War II in 1946, when FIFA invited them to do so. England and the other British nations had ignored and missed all the FIFA World Cups from 1930, 1934 and 1938.

    England and the other British national teams had instead been playing their own "international" competition, the "British Home Championship", an annual tournament that was first played in 1884 and was abolished exactly 100 years later in 1984. It was the first and oldest international football tournament in the world.

    England first entered a FIFA World Cup competition in 1950, and went out after two shock 1-0 defeats by the United States and Spain.

    So England has only been involved in true international football competitions since 1950, and became world champions only 16 years later in 1966.

    USA, Canada, Mexico and some other countries in the Caribbean area should play our Copa America here in the south and not the Copa Oro...It would be much more interesting an American Cup with all the americas together.

    C. Ronaldo back to Manchester United, it's postive and he seem like fit and seem to same when he left. He's a great player and gald he back in the squad but dislike him as a celebrity and ladies' man. Manchester United maybe slowly getting back. Still no trophies.

    Still not over that Euro 2020/21 final, I'm really angry when thinking about that final and that Italian p**** who scream at the camera. I sick of hearing England lose to better team and desvered as they are fouling and pushing. ENgland should of been better. I hate hooglians, people think UK and Ireland lose chance of holding a World Cup cos of what happen before and after the final. But there some other countries who have far worse hooglians than England, like Italy. There World Cup and ENgland will win it.

    Honestly I don't know how we can get, lose to Loserpoo so bad at Old Trafford. I'm a Manchester United fan (I'm not great, the best nethier plastic, fake, glory supporter), don't I can t anymore of this and going to stop checking results cos it always seem to get worse. We do well then going down. Now everybody say we not going to win the league even it's end of October. Also our rivals are high top, and that why I'm feel so p*****. I know they not always going to win but Loserpoo going to catch on league titles and hard enough to UEFA Champions League as Loserpoo had 6 and Manchester United 3. I not liking football right now. It nothing like pain. Yeah I see other fans of their teams that it always happen, so wait I'm different as well as they. Things been going on in life and what happening in football not helping, it not fun when teams not doing well.

    Don't know getting a new manger be any better or give Solsjaer a year or two. Sir Alex took four year til he won a trophy then rest history.

    Going keep away from football for long while, it not making me any better. Try to give up football when thing got too much but seem to stuck with it like a tattoo (Don't judge me)

    If negetive toward me will be block, you wastling your time.

    Football should help bringing some fun into your life, same as Star Wars should, but sometimes one can't enjoy things.
    I can relate when it comes to football. I'm a Borussia Mönchengladbach fan, but at the moment things don't go like they should. Unlike MU they're not in reach to win the championship, but at least they should fight for a rank qualifying for some UEFA Championship. Still more than 20 matches to play. Hope...

    Anyway, maybe sometimes it's better to take a break and find something else that one actually can enjoy.
