They didnt actually win the word cup though did they?
I dont think winning a game here and there makes the England football team winners. When did they last win a cup?
But then not everyone can be a winner as you well know, being one of lifes losers.

How many teams have won that Cup , not many and not Australia at any time so they have always been losers , most winners get to the Finals do they not.

The point I made is, England won the World cup in 1966.
(you was only 10)
You are still celebrating some 37 years later,
Why? because they have not won anything since.
You will be able to watch it on TV 3 or 4 time a year when you return. However you are in for a shock, as the people have stopped celebrting in the streets there now.

As for Australia wining the Football World Cup in the next hundred years dream on , to see them make it to the Finals is a problem right now.
I pointed out to the deluded as yourself the Cup England has won (the hardest cup to win and the biggest sport on the planet) , your shite was what has England ever won , now you know.

For 50 years, including the past 18, Health Service spending has risen by an average 3 per cent per year in real terms, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. The NHS Confederation and the BMA have argued that any fall-off from this can only mean a major downsizing of public provision. This year expenditure is being increased by only 1.2 per cent, in line with Tory plans. Brown's extra £1.2 billion 'lifeline' brings next year's planned increase up to 2.25 per cent, which is 0.75 per cent less than the Tory average. If inflation continues at 2.75 per cent rather than 2.5 per cent, the real value of Brown's £1.3 billion will be even lower.
£1.3 billion over 5 years from the one-off windfall tax is supposed to provide 'the infrastructure, the technology, and the bright modern classrooms' needed for the 21st century. Last year local education authorities estimated that £3.2 billion of repairs were urgently needed simply to keep existing school buildings in use.
Labour has pledged to maintain income tax rates at current levels. However Brown could have raised £3 billion a year from top-rate earners by abolishing the ceiling on National Insurance contributions, and a further £1.5 billion by restricting their personal allowances on the basic rate. VAT on private education, private health insurance and gambling would raise £2 billion a year. A 2 per cent rise in corporation tax would have yielded £2 billion a year; instead Brown cut corporation tax to the lowest levels in the West costing the exchequer almost £4 billion over the next two years.
The windfall-financed £200 million New Deal for Lone Parents over its four-year lifetime works out at £1.92 of spending per lone parent per week. Labour is continuing with Tory plans to withdraw lone parent benefits, currently worth around £6 a week to each claimant (see Praxis).
Defence spending remains at levels set by the Conservatives. Scrapping Trident would save over £200 million a year; total nuclear disarmament over £600 million. The UK has already spent £2.7 billion on the Eurofighter project, and future costs are estimated at £12.7 billion. The Campaign Against Arms Trade has estimated a joint MoD and DTI hidden subsidy to the arms export industry of around £1 billion a year.
A radical budget package could have started a five-year transition towards taxing value subtracted from the common good, such as pollution, rather than value added, through work or enterprise. The first year of this transitional programme would have sought to raise £10 billion in green taxes, specifically an energy tax, falling on coal, oil, gas and nuclear power at the point of production and a tax on the rental value of the site.

You think any of this impacts on your every day life.

Plus the spending on the Joint Strike fighter will make one returning refugee a very busy chap.
