(Recounting events up to and including England's victory in Euro 2000, writer David Downing unravels the fascinating history of international and club football between the two nations--from the legendary kickabouts in no-man's land during WWI, through early English dominance and the glory of 1966, to the slide into defeat after defeat, and asks what it is that has tied the two countries so closely together, and more importantly, how come they keep winning)
