Sadly, they underperformed for decades.
I always wondered why sinkies always support England by default. There was once I went to a friend's house warming and there was another bloke wearing the 3 Lions jersey in prep for a big WC qualifying match that night.
After a few cans of beer I became a bit too sociable and started roasting this stranger for supporting England when they've been absolute shite for decades. My friends later told me he looked as if he wanted to punch me for mocking him. LOL .. I was a bit drunk then so I couldn't tell.
Then after the house warming party we headed to Mhd Sultan and caught the final 30 minutes of that England match. The pubs were crowded as fuck. And that was the night Beckham curled the last minute free kick into Greece's goal to qualify for the Japan-Korea WC... Everyone on Mhd Sultan went crazy like the kallang roar was back.
