2 World Wars and 1 World Cup

England has got a wonderful team and nothing else should matter, you think. But this doesn't keep chants like the one above from cropping up every 4 years.

The latest example is to be found on Adam Curry's Daily Sourcecode episode #400, where the ex-MTV VJ -unknowingly, Id say- put a very nice "Come on England" song on. I actually enjoyed the song, but then heard a line going something like "2 World Wars and 1 World Cup" - Hey, the England team doesn't need chants like that, football should rise above all this and entertain people with the sporting action and not with putting your head into historical sand. I mean, what's the point.

Come on, England, you can do it - this time without the history books.
