Since 1966, England have reached seven semi-finals or finals. They lost all seven.
1968 Yugoslavia. 1990 and 1996 Germany, both on penalties. 2018 Croatia. 2021 Italy in the final, penalties again. 2024 Spain in the final. 2026 Argentina in the World Cup semi-final.
Look at the margins: every single one lost by one goal or on penalties.
Seven times close. Zero times champions.
