Yes, but that would have been an evening game, and we'd have stood a decent chance.
Not sure we touched the ball.
It was my birthdayhaving got to the pub for before 7am what a Friday that would have been had we won.................

**Cough** Pedant alert....
Peter Ustinov did indeed play fictional Belgian detective Poirot, you picture shows fellow Poirot actor David Suchet.
Written by Agatha Christie, whereas famous Belgian, Georges Simenon, wrote about Maigret.

Fairy snuff,but I still think boycott is a bit of an unfair description of 'can't be arsed to travel to Uruguay',or 'enter a competition glorifying FIFA and Mussolini'.
Might believe Corbett if he's in the pub dressed like a full-kit w***er!

Hadn't realised that we have not lost to Belgium for 82 years and that is the only time in 21 meetings.
Nothing can go wrong.....go wrong.....go wrong.......go wrong.

We both qualify in any case. Save the worrying for next week.

I've read this tournament described as being rather like a doomed holiday romance for Engand, and I agree.
Whatever happens tonight and next week, we should just enjoy it while it lasts, for what it is, while we still can. Its a fun, frivolous time to be had frolicking in the sunshine, with all kinds of fanciful thoughts, wild ideas and possibilities of a lasting love spinning in our heads. But soon it will all be over. Hopes and dreams will be dashed, reality will arrive in a taxi like an unwelcome house guest, and we will be whisked away, back to the chill winds and grey skies of normal life, popping the idyllic bubble we've existed in for those blissful few weeks.
But darling, we will always have Panama.
