I also enjoy posting pictures of Italians with World Cups and all that, so please fish away. I have plenty more picture for you to view. God knows you would get sick of looking at the photos from 1966 all the time.
England have actually won 11, there were 10 world cups played before that one in uruguay but only England and scotland actually competed in it.

Sounds like the baseball World Series, the Rugby League World Cup or an AFL World Cup...

the afl world cup is a very good comparison to those early world cups. australia don't bother playing in the afl ones because they would win it so easily.

It's pretty obvious that they would win an afl world cup seeing as they're pretty much the only country that plays it. They decide not to as it would be too easy.

The same as England in the first few football "world cups".

No one refers to PNG as the world champions, but the italians still claim those world cups :lol:

Of course we would know, we look at all the other nationalities and see the looks on their faces when they realise that they lost the lottery of life.

Remind me again, how italians are "winners". They used to have a pretty good empire, but even that got surpassed with the superior British one.

The lottery of life? :lol: Is that where you end up middle aged, divorced and stuck in a country you don't like?

Is this a football forum, or a historical forum?

England didn't compete in those early WC's through arrogance, now they fail to qualify or fail when when they do qualify.

When was the last time they failed to qualify?

Is that why australia don't compete in afl world cups then, because they're arrogant?

nice pic, I dont rate the all white strip though!
Great experience for Smeltz though, scoring against the Defending Champions and x4 World cup winners!

Ps, here we go again, turn a topic into Italy V Greece again.
Once again started by a greek boy, who has insecurity issues......
:wink:


pss, I like stats like the following;

Greece played 6 WC games
Won 1
Drew 0
Lost 5
GS 2
GA 15
Net -13

How can there be a greece v italy topic anyway?

Football - well that's obvious
Food - obvious again
Empire - roman OBVIOUSLY.
How many times has italy been conquered?
How many times has greece been conquered?
Women - italian
Cars - not even a competition
Motorbikes - not even a competition

Seriously, what have the greeks given the world in the last 1,000 years?

At least the italians can say - ducati's.

At least we weren't Hitler's bitches and didn't need to run to him when we couldn't fight our own battles.

And Hawko, time to get some new hooks mate, I hear the lures are really good at this time of year.
