Have you red your ABC?
I'm trying my best to find some trivia that can be used as "lucky omens" of sorts for England in this WC.
When Spain, playing in red, won the European Championship in 2008, 44 years had passed since they last won that same trophy. Managers name: Aragonés
When Italy, NOT playing in red, won the World Cup in 1982, 44 years had passed since they last won that same trophy. Managers name: Bearzot
2010: England, perhaps playing in red, might win the World Cup. Should this be the case, it will be 44 years since they last won the same trophy.
This time managed by an Italian. His name: Capello
And for something (almost) completely different:
When Brann Bergen, playing in red, won the the Norwegian top division in 2007, 44 years had passed since they last won that same trophy.
Their captain ,Martin Andresen, played for two (unsuccessful) stints in England.
