Omen?

[Skaville]

Was the last time England won a competitive match by a 4-2 scoreline the '66 final?

 

[REDLAND]

also we have NEVER lost a championship final game

 

[Marc]

explain to me why thats an Omen?

 

[DTES]

Which way do we look at the "omen" of England v Portugal, 1966 WC QF?

Positively, we won, and went on the win the tournament.

Negatively, the home nation won, and went on to win the tournament...

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Here's some more straws for you to clutch at...

 

[On the Left Wing]

explain to me why thats an Omen?

Cos Beckham has three sixes tatooed on his head?

 

[Skaville]

Well, okay, perhaps omen is a bit strong, more of a co-incidnece, but you know what us football fans are like!

 

[Marc]

so we won a game in a group match 4-2 and its coincidence that we won the 1966 WC Final by the same score... ...nope...still not getting it

 

[Skaville]

Omen: An occurrence supposed to portend, or show the character of, some future event; any indication or action regarded as a foreshowing.

Okay, Crabtree, it's a tenuous link to our former glory...

 

[Marc]

thats better

I think we beat Spain 4-2 about 1987 when Lineker got a hattrick. Wasn't a very good omen cos we got spanked at the 1988 Euro Champs

Lineker got all 4 goals.

We beat Spain AGAIN 4-2 on pens in Euro 96!
