Another anniversary. Another early England exit. Another sad BBC montage. On this day in 2002, the Beeb used Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis, after an early morning quarter-final defeat to Brazil. Iconic.

Getting knocked out of a World Cup at 7:30am hits different

Nobody mentions Beckham jumping out of a challenge before Rivaldo’s goal. I’ll never forget it anyway.

I think Seamen got lobbed more times in his career than a Bonnie Blue party!

I remember reading a review of Oasis’ Heathen Chemistry album that came out just before the World Cup that said about Stop Crying Your Eyes Out something like “expect it to be played on TV when England get knocked out of the World Cup”.

Brazil had Ronaldo, Rivaldo & Ronaldinho We had Danny Mills & Trevor Sinclair

is it me or were these players this team aand the football more relatable? greater days? what a summer that was, luckilyi can remember some of it!

Wasn’t able to watch the game because I was doing my English A Level exam at the time. Have such fond memories of this tournament though, especially the Argentina game.

If we’d not drawn to Nigeria in the final group game we’d of been on the other side of the draw to the final. And maybe been able to do it

Those were the days ! 90,96,98,02,04,06 great days (good tournaments) now just don’t care about England really

In an OB truck outside the stadium producing that sequence. I’ve not seen it for years. At half time we were making the happy version.
