I will keep believing it until some long haired greasy foreigner uses so called "ball skills" to knock in the winning penalty in the QF

(Like I do every WC)

 

[Arabmariner]

If it wasn't for that dodgy ref you wouldn't have won in "66 either

It's the same as giving someone the finger here.

 

[FFC Mariner]

According to a popular legend the two-fingers salute and/or V sign derives from the gestures of longbowmen fighting in the English army at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years' War.[4][14] The story claims that the French claimed that they would cut off the arrow-shooting fingers of all the English and Welsh longbowmen after they had won the battle at Agincourt. But the English came out victorious and showed off their two fingers, still intact. Historian Juliet Barker quotes Jean Le Fevre (who fought on the English side at Agincourt) as saying that Henry V included a reference to the French cutting off longbowmen's fingers in his pre-battle speech.
