inbb4 a million butthurt ABEs
karma for 1966
Choking on penalties doesn't count as unlucky.
Inbreedgland won against Portugal in 1966's semifinal by performing S Korea levels of jewish manipulation,
Just accept that your national team sucks as much as your weather
Our recent competition history is generally 1/3 refball, 1/3 penalties and 1/3 incompetence
>>63983397
Penalties are basically a coin-flip. An amateur team would beat the best team in the world about half the time. There is psychological pressure but I think its effect is rather small
>>63983401
So, 1/3 refball, 2/3 incompetence
England deserves it though, fuck them and the entire Anglosphere

>says the only country to miss a world cup penalty against england
>1986: Refball Maradona Hand of God against winner Argentina
Not enough heart/backbone/skill to turn the game around
>1990: Penalty shootout against winner Germany
Pretty stupid to even try beating us at Penalties to begin with
>1998: Red Card Beckham, penalty shootout
Just utter stupidity
>2002: Lapse of concentration Seaman against winner Brazil
No skill at gk position ever, cause the only kids in England playing in goal are nerds who get bullied / are not good enough to play any other position
>2006: Penalty shootout
English race lack the mental capacities to succeed at critical situation like penalty shoot outs
>2010: Refball Lampard goal
lol this one is hilarious, we would have won that game anyway, could have played for a day and we still win.
How again has any of this to do with luck? You could say they are unlucky, because they've lost the lottery of life by being born English, but other than that?

Checks out, unfortunately we're due a refball next year
>>63983408
no. not true at all
>>63983413
Yup, cause we were incompetent in the shoot-out.
At least I own up to it, instead of blaming the shoelaces, the ball preasure and the wind.
complain complain complain
never win anything
>>63983473
Old and Beardy knows
1990: penalty shootout, Argentina equalised because of a fuck up by the keeper in the last minute
1994: penalty shootout in the final
1998: penalty shootout against the winners
