Oh by all means go right ahead, and while you're at it, make us a list of the Holland vs England results of the last 35 years or so.

Perhaps that explains why we usually don't regard England as much of a threat.

No need to go back any further than 1970, before that we weren't much of a footballpower. I must have overlooked the 1982 2-0 loss, where was that game held ? I could only recall the 4-1 loss on England's own Euro tournament, and funny enough that one goal was enough to make it to the next round.

Not in the last three decades, England used to beat most European opponents in the days of black and white TV, but since the 70's we pretty much own you guys. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Aye, I remember that match. England was already leading by 4 - 0. Then in come substitute Patrick Kluivert. He shoot the ball right in between David Seaman's ( I think ) legs and scored!

[/QUOTE]Oooh please don't mention that name again, i was just getting used to him not being around anymore. Can't blieve that guy, 28 years and already burned out. He should be in his prime now, but he's over and done with. With our current firepower he'll never get another chance.
