Particularly because we cruised our qualifying group and were the tournament favourites. Yes, we were shit against the Irish. However, England were on top of Holland for a good half an hour in the second game at 1-1 and Glenda hit the post. There was no shame in getting undone by van Basten in his pomp. To me they looked like a decent outfit with things running against them. Oh, and the European club ban didn't help...
In Euro 92 they were beyond dire. Dreadful against the French, dreadful against the Irish and dreadful against Sweden. Shapeless, directionless, hopeless. The footballing equivalent of being stuck in the Sargasso Sea. If you want a flavour of it...
For anyone who hasn't seen it, this deals with the qualifying group for USA 94, but the feeling is the same.
I'm going to listen to some happy music now to wash away the memories.
