Just checked. Yes, England did win a penalty shoot out at a world cup!
One minor gripe. Most of the country is going crazy but I can't be the only one bored with the guttersnipes coming out of the woodwork to say they hate the England team/find football boring/say how much they hate the WC etc. Not all Welsh or Scots either. Personally I can't wait to find whatever dull hobby you find fascinating and go on and on about how 'boring' it is and how much everyone hates it. Which would actually be true in that case.
Edit: objectively, to the football fan, I'd say our team is actually pretty likeable nowadays. Which makes a change.
Hear, hear.
If England win the thing I expect riots on the streets of Glasgow, Dublin, Cardiff and probably Liverpool as well.
Come on England!
