We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

So much for home field advantage.
Sorry

Ditto to the home field advantage comment
Nice job with the anoraking as usual, MUR. You nailed the Spanish win in 1964 (an excellent year, btw!) and the Platini-inspired French win in 1984. Not correct on 1968, though. Anyone else have a guess?
By the way, I enjoyed the dig on home field advantage. I wouldn't argue that this advantage extends to necessarily winning the tournament, as it has often done in the World Cup. However, I suspect that it's enough of an advantage for Poland that they'll be able to escape a weak Group A. Looking forward to a feisty European Championship Predictions Game!
Bad news out of the England camp tonight. The squad trained at Eastlands ahead of tomorrow's friendly with Norway and neither Glen Johnson (infected toe) nor Danny Welbeck (ankle) made it through the entire session.
