I had a good spell following England home and away, I rarely bother to watch them any more even on tv. Over again they have messed up the experience for the fans, eventually it got too much for me.
I miss the trips, the excuse for a weekend away with mates, the cities and countries often off the tourist trail. The pride at singing the anthem and cheering on the team at the pinnacle of competition, England at a World Cup tournament.
My last game was England’s v Wales in Lens at Euro 2016, a narrow 2-1 win with Vardy netting our first goal and a late winner. Even this was extended by two years as I wanted to watch us play away in Scotland and Ireland,
