England - Unlucky...or cursed???

We're nearly into the final countdown folks...The England team left London on Wednesday night, bound for South Africa, hoping that they will be making a triumphant return in 40 days...having broken the curse of English football.

This interesting article on ESPN highlights the 'sod's law' aspect of England's recent World Cup exits, or is it a curse...?  Missed penalties, goalkeeping howlers, untimely injuries and the Hand of God have all led to England's exit from the world's greatest stage since 1966.

Rarely have they just been outplayed and we've been able to say, 'fair enough, the better team won!'  Just read some of these stories and it will take you back through every agonising moment; it's sadistic, but perhaps just a little bit enjoyable to relive the agony, hoping this time, more than any other time, this time, we're going to find a way...

Get ready, the emotional rollercoaster is just days away...

Bonus points if you can give me the year of the England World Cup song that those last few lines/lyrics were taken from...
