Why do the English commentators always mention England's 1966 world cup win?
even when England are not one of the 2 teams on the pitch.
Answers:
I suppose the england fans need something in there life's to remind them what it feels like to be the champions of the world now the empire is dead and no one realy cares. Does anyone realise that recently a book was found that has the original rules for football written and predates the idea that england invented the game. Apparently the book is on display somewhere but heres the best bit, i love it, the basic rules for football as we know them wher in fact laid down and written by and in Scotland! This was in a national paper a few weeks ago! Wha's like us? Damn few and there aw deed!
why not?
because they are English, need i say more!!!!!
Because they are English commentators who only have one thing English to refer to when it comes to winning things
Because that's all we have to hold onto, man!
Wish I knew. It is embarassing. I live in the UK and I cringe every time.
Nothing else can compare to the '66 win. Hence, why bother mentioning anything else.
This is because they are proud of England and they talk about the world cup because it is the greatest competiton in football. And they only talk of 1966 because it is the only one england have won!!
Because thats the only trophy we have won in World Football.. We aren't allowed to mention the war.
Because they still think they rule the world
cos that's the one and only time they will ever touch the trophy
cos we are never going to win it again
because there isn't anything else to mention,what else have they won,there full of crap.
sadly its the only thing hey can talk about when discusing england! because we have won nothing else! :( exept maybe 4th place in the laughing stock award after scotland, wales, and ireland of course.
Because that was the last time they will do anything right or good! ;)
cause they are not going to win **** all El's
There's nothing else left on store It's pity that instead of Al Ramsey, the Charltons, Gordon Banks, Bobby Moore, today's England only begets poster-boys (i.e. Spciy Bekham)
its a topic which will be talked about until we win the next one
Because it was a great achivement. We invented the game and then spread it to the world but before this we would have been world champions (American style) for years but it would be a bit rubbish bragging. We should just change the rules (as we can do this as we invented it) so we can win again and stop the 1966 talk.
What else of any worthiness in English football has there been to mention since then!
It's to reinforce the idea that we can win and we should still be playing because we can win every hundred years or so at football and to try and keep English people interested in football when no matter how much money we throw at our players, they can't play football for toffee!
it's the last time England won the world cup. They can't really say, and do you remember when they didn't qualify? do you remember when they got to the quarter finals? They could of course but it doesn't sound as good.
I do wish they would be a bit more positive though instead of knocking them all the time, concentrate on how much they have achieved. I think it would go a long way to helping them achieve more.
Because it is the only thing we have ever won in the history of Soccer. We were the ones who invented the game by the way.
its always mention, because they think it'll probably be the only time we win the world cup, n plus coz there english and it sounds good
1)They are English
2)It was a historical moment for our country.
3)It was built up this year because of The World Cup and it was also the 40 year anniversary.
Hope I helped!
Because its the only 1 we have won
you gotta cling to something.
Italians mention the world cup finals won by their team all the time too why don't you ask them?
a lot of them do it, but this is mainly motson's gimmick. i've never heard a man talk garbage like i've heard john motson talk garbage. the reason is because we're crap now...need reminding that we could win 40 odd years ago, providing it was on home turf
to be perfectly honest most of the people watching the england matches weren't even born when '66 happened
coz they have done sod all since

Do F1 cars have accelerator and brake pedals ?
