Would Scotland or Wales get this Falklands abuse if they played them? Afterall, they were as much of a part of the British Task Force as England.

Does that really matter?

Since 2004 Leeds have only beaten us 7 times out of 27 games. Hard to say they wouldn't batter us right now.

Possibly, yes. England's record against 'good' sides in tournaments at KO stages isn't that spectacular. I reckon Spain are very good. All about opinions though.

I think we win 7 in 10 against Argentina, 6 in 10 against Spain and 3 in 10 against France.

 

I do think that Spain are France's biggest threat though.

Our record against Argentina probably includes the game in ‘66!  It’s nothing but an historical stat

Recent final records not kind to the winner of this game ..

 

“History favours the winners of the 1st semi final. Not since 2010 has a team won a major tournament after winning the 2nd semi. (3 World Cups and 4 Euros)."

And we know who won in 2010..
