World Cup: What Happened In 1966 Is Happening In 2018! by footballflaver: 5:04pm On Jul 09, 2018
England last won the World Cup in 1966 but there's historical proof that the side will be crowned champions of the world once again, at this summer's tournament in Russia.


In 1966, England smashed Germany 4-2 at Wembley to win their first ever World Cup.


But it's also the year Real Madrid won the European Cup, Burnley qualified for Europe, Chelsea finished 5th and Manchester City won the league (the second division).


Any of this sound familiar?


Yep. Last season, all this happened as well.


Well, all of this apart from the World Cup winners, which is yet to be decided...

Here's a thought...


1966:
Real Madrid win the European Cup
Burnley qualify for Europe
Man City win their league
Chelsea finish 5th
England win #WorldCup


2018:
Real Madrid win the European Cup
Burnley qualify for Europe
Man City win their league
Chelsea finish 5th


Omens...

Put it in your diary - July 15th - it's going to be the day when captain Harry Kane will be lifting the trophy above his head.


What more proof do you need?

I can bet my next 6months salary that England will not smell that cup. They haven't met any real opposition so far apart from Belgium in the group stage, a match they lost.

There is a certain touch of destiny to England’s world cup run to the semi-finals. I have just been smiling inside myself thinking what it would feel like if they do win it.

I mean, they had Terry, Ferdinand, Campbell, A. Cole, Neville in defense, Gerrard, Scholsey. Lampard, J.Cole,W. Phillips in midfield, Rooney and Owen in attack and couldn't win sh!t but Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Alli, Lingard, Henderson, Dier, Sterling will be world cup winners? Like seriously?!

It is just inconceivable but I feel they have waited long enough.

I would have loved England to lift the world Cup; but those fans, who supports English teams, especially in Nigeria, won't let us rest for the next 4 years, saying "football is made in England".

Their yeye mouth too much.

Hope you know they lost that match intentionally. Although I'm not rooting for them to win
