You ever see the end of that movie The Loneliness of The Long-Distance Runner? Well, it’s an old English-British classic, and today life imitated art again, with your Three Lions gaining the ascendancy for the lion’s share of this Mundial 2026 semifinal against Argentina, only to start thinking too hard about what it means to succeed despite all the hardships already overcome, and then just lolling about to get pipped at the wire in an absurd finish. It’s not coming home, not this year anyway. Scrub on over to the 5:10 mark of today’s video lede to see how it all came to a shocking halt for Tom Courtenay in 1962, and for the England Men’s National Football Team today.
