One half of the "Battle of Waterloo" WC final in. Now for the team representing the Lord Nelson side to front up
The last time these two met in a big WC match it was the Battle of Agincourt that was referenced.
(Too many on the non-French side at Waterloo weren't English -- all the Scots for a start, but also Dutch, Belgians, Hanoverians.)
Trafalgar would do
Too many Spaniards

Good call Catograde.
I'm doubtful of counting the Welsh at Agincourt because they were subjects of the English, not British, crown. However lots of the "English" were French speakers born in France.
It's impressive how few purely England vs France battles there are. Sluys?

Battle of Hastings?
Both sides ended up being English.
This is getting very complicated.
I'd say we would have to go all the way back to 1992 and the Battle of Parc de Princes and two sent off for the French.

That's a fantastically English way of describing having your arses kicked.
"They were absorbed with us"

Yeah, I was going to say that I saw it the opposite way... ever since 1066, every contest has been "France vs France"

Well by that time we were a mix of Celts, Saxons and Danes who then got invaded by some more Danes until we were all English. Except for those particular Celts that moved west and never really assimilated.
