England - Nigeria

[MachoMadness]

I'll maintain we were probably only one or two players behind Brazil in 2002. So many players at their peak, and even with a few injury problems, replacements like Trevor Sinclair of all players made us a strong unit. We gave Brazil a good game and were unlucky to lose really, and that was a Brazil team with Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos etc all in their primes, old hands like Cafu as well. If we'd had a bit more luck against Brazil I'm sure we would've won it, but I remember that was the last time we really looked like a capable team on the big stage.

Admittedly I was 11 at the time!

Campbell's extra time goal against Portugal being wrongly ruled out cost us at Euro 2004.

It wasn't wrongly ruled out. Shearer took the keeper out with his forearm.

EDIT: Scratch that! I was thinking of the 1998 WC match ws Argentina.
