I suspect you are happy Deathers! Not born until after the 1966 WC. 1970 - no recollection, too young. 1974 - vague recollection, more into my Doctor Who and Bay City Rollers.... 1978 - on the march with Ally's Army....remember like it was yesterday. And so on and so on....watched every one since, even those Scotland or England didn't qualify for.

They just interrupted Wimbledon for a rousing chorus of Three Lions for the England - Sweden World Cup semi-final.... Included in that melange were Michael McIntyre and Russell Brand.....

This didn't show up in my search at first...cheers!

Hmm, that reminds me...has anyone checked the rain down in Africa?

Good luck England today. Sretno Croatia!

Europe's oldest dame dies, never knowing the outcome of the World Cup quarters. Projetto's death = 1 unique and another Wildcard falls.

Wasn't she discussed when she appeared at the Oscars this year, looking fabulous? Another de Havilland, mayhap?
