[QUOTE="croadymeister, post: 977639, member: 81784"] You have got this absolutely spot on, how many chances at major tournaments have we blown by falling either at the final hurdle or just short of it (1990 world cup, 1996 euros, 2018 world cup, could also talk about 2004 euros and 2006 world cup as possible opportunities with the quality teams that we had too). Like someone said earlier we nearly blew the cricket world cup in the summer and only just squeaked home in 2003 thanks to Jonny's last minute drop goal. There is a real mentality issue with this nation when it comes to the sharp end of competitions, you just don't see other nations falling apart so many times when the going gets tough on them.
