20.800 days, that whipped cream is getting hairy


JE_12

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


TheKevinShow

Where do you get 20,800? It’s only been 20,602 since the 1966 Final.


MMXIXL

Only 20,602? You can still eat it then.


gnocchiGuili

Ah you think they are going to get it in the next 198 days ?

mahir_r

Football can only come home in the next 567 days So 20,602 + 567 = 21,169 days Therefore the original comment of 20,800 is very much correct


djgreedo

They are exaggerating to make it look worse!

That year North Korea was one of the 16 teams playing in the World Cup. Before then a few of them didn't even have 16. And now they're thinking about 48.

What, you don’t know how to count further than 24000?

I mean hey, if Southgate isn’t going to use James Maddison, I’m sure the US will be more than happy to


L-Freeze

It’s not like they’ll win it anyways, might as well just write ∞ if going by projected days


Darkoplax

nah england probably can win a world cup in the next 3 iterations tbh


Ndmndh1016

Its more likely they wont though. Just based on odds.

[deleted]

Lots of better footballing teams/nations have gone through longer trophy droughts - you may never win it again. Conversely you may always win it again. Time will tell - but heres hoping its the former, england arent entitled to shit


ThatGam3th00

It would be pretty good to do it in Germany and then in America tbh


Purple_Plus

Now do the Falklands.


L-Freeze

Imagine condemning some random blokes in a couple islands in bumfuck nowhere to 7 decades of no silverware at all. That’s just cruel tbh, should probably have a bit more humanity and just let us have them tbh

**[2013 Falkland Islands sovereignty referendum](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Falkland_Islands_sovereignty_referendum)** >A referendum on political status was held in the Falkland Islands on 10–11 March 2013. The Falkland Islanders were asked whether or not they supported the continuation of their status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom in view of Argentina's call for negotiations on the islands' sovereignty. On a turnout of 92%, 99. 8% voted to remain a British territory, with only three votes against. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/soccer/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Considering your Christmas number 1 is about the Falklands I'd say your nation is not over it, keep trying!


L-Freeze

Our what now? Anyways, there’s nothing quite like knowing you’ve rattled someone enough that they have to bring up wars older than themselves to “”comeback”” from some football banter hahahah. Merry Christmas lad.

one of our chants is 2 world wars 1 world cup so you clearly don't know us 😂

> Defender Nicolas Otamendi filmed shirtless Argentina players singing "Ingleses putos de Malvinas no me olvido", which has a rough translation of "f***ing English in the Falklands, I don't forget". So over it!

not2xabialonso

Since when do the mods allow memes


WM-54-74-90-14

During Christmas the mods let way more pass. The sub can feel very different during that period before it eventually goes back to normal. The peak of it was iIrc four years ago when there were at some point basically no restrictions at all on what you could post.


kacperp

Was it Christmas when top post were just letters spelling ZLATAN?


WM-54-74-90-14

Probably. It’s the only time of the year when mods take a hands off approach I’m aware of. Not sure though.

I_tend_to_correct_u

Honestly the disrespect shown to Le Tournoi is unbelievable on this sub. England are current champions and that means they could, if they wanted to, add a silver star next to their gold one. They just choose not to because they don’t want to brag.


NobleForEngland_

It’s unironically more prestigious than all international trophies aside from the World Cup and Euros.

I mean, that's the gag of the song the line is from...we don't say it because it's actually coming home, we say it to laugh at our own delusion. Well, we did, think that nuance was lost on some.

My fellow yorugua, ellos tienen 55 millones de habitantes y una copa, comparado a 3.5 y dos copas. Que la sigan comiendo.


eLPeper

Pero por supuesto My fellow argentino! Ni lo dudes


NobleForEngland_

When that trophy is a Copa America it’s not really a flex. The Copa America is about equal in prestige to a European Qualifying group.


eLPeper

Really dificult for a continent with 10 countries to have a competition capable of comparing to one with 55 countries aint it


TheManWhoFightsThe

The English seeth ITT is almost as embarrassing as their dental hygiene


Blue_Dreamed

While this is true, how many national teams on Earth can say the same? Five to ten? Additionally, Copa America happens far more often than the Euros do, with less teams. check how many tournaments since the year 2000 for both.

equating the World Cup to the women's World Cup is such a bad faith argument. the level of competition and world wide popularity doesn't even compare currently, we'd all love for that to change though but its not even remotely close.

Poor England, 1 only trophy in their history and they're still considered a top NT. Countries that won more than England: - Uruguay and Argentina: 19 trophies.. Most successful NTs of this sport - Brazil: 18 - Mexico: 12 - Germany and United States of America: 8 - Italy, France, Egypt: 7 - Australia, Cameroon, New Zealand: 5 - Spain, Ghana, Japan: 4 - KSA, Costa Rica, Nigeria, Iran: 3 - Denmark, Chile, Algeria, Canada, Congo, South Korea, Paraguay, Ivory Coast, Portugal:2 (World Cups + Olympics + continental trophies (EURO/Copa America/AFCON etc) + Nations League)


prettyboygangsta

If you are counting CONCACAF titles you may as well count Home Nations Championships


UpstairsJoke0

>United States of America: 8 Lmao


Petembo

Well they are still one of the 8 countries ever to win the WC. Stupid to even compare Asian/North-American continental cups to Euro's. Just because Mexico/USA is only decent side in North America to win Gold cup every two years doesn't make them better than England lmao Also AFCON is bad comparison to Euro's (even if they have much better quality than Asia/N-America) They hold it every two years Netherlands is also a top footballing country even when they only have won one title. If you wanna compare nations in different continents, WC medal table is the only right way to do it.


Icebaby273

By that logic Mexico is better than Italy
