Plus that and we haven't got to a Quarter Final since 2012.[/quote
We don't usually make the quarter finals any more. Haven't done for a long time (2006). We didn't get out of the group in 2012.
Monkeywrench, England did get out of the group in 2012...we drew with France and beat Sweden and the hosts Ukraine. We lost to Italy on penalties in the knockout.
My mistake, I was thinking world Cup in 2014.
We've not won a knock out match since 2006. A pretty terrible record in recent years.
We've only won two knockout matches in 90 minutes since Italia '90 (Denmark in 2002 and Ecuador in 2006). The win over Spain at Euro '96 was on penalties, after some somewhat favourable refereeing in our favour if memory serves.
