Australia did it under Venables albeit in the qualifying stages - undefeated but still missed out.Loretta Jones wrote:India did it in 1950.Bomber wrote:New Zealand did that too not long ago.God is an Englishman wrote:We left that world cup without getting losing a game.

1990 - lost semi final on penalties .Nugget wrote:If you dont think Englands performances at major tournaments for the last 50 years have been anything less than embarrassing then you are delusional. But being an England supporter, that comes with the territory.
Just one of a number of near misses.
Doesn't sound embarrassing to me.

Must be easy to be successful when you just change the team you are going for each week. Some of us are loyal.to our club/national side.ozzie owl wrote:Your easily pleased.alfieboy wrote:1990 - lost semi final on penalties .Nugget wrote:If you dont think Englands performances at major tournaments for the last 50 years have been anything less than embarrassing then you are delusional.

Major difference between embarrassing and being pleased. Eg. I am not pleased unless we win but losing in a penalty shoot out in the semis to the winner isn't embarrassing.
However, seeing as you claim to be "aussie", have they ever had a non embarrassing world cup?
