Just for a bit of perspective. We played twice, won twice, against the the best ranked team in the world
in 2006 we couldn't beat Macedonia at home with this team:
Robinson, Gary Neville, Terry, King, Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, Carrick, Downing (Wright-Phillips 70), Rooney (Defoe 74), Crouch...
Venables tenure was purely Euro 96, we qualified automatically as hosts so every other game, Euro 96 aside, was technically meaningless. We only won 2 games out of 5 in normal time, and we had home advantage, when it it came to the real test we came up short again.
How is Venables record seen...
can't understand the negativity, not a vintage display by any means but we won with a young experimental side
Still far better than the dark days under Sven and Crapello
