Dear England,
The country that gave football to the world has since delivered nothing but a painful and repeated pattern of loss. Why can’t England’s men win a competition at their own game?
The England team has the worst track record for penalties of any major nation in the world, and manager Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open up his mind and face the years of hurt to take his team and country back to the promised land.

I Have Booked Tickets At The National Theatre But It Says 'Olivier Theatre' On The Ticket?
There are three separate theatre's in the National Theatre complex on the South Bank. The Olivier Theatre, The Lyttelton Theatre and The Dorfman Theatre that all showcase separate productions throughout the year so all London theatre tickets to productions at the National Theatre will state which venue they are to be held in.
Where Are The Best Seats Located In The Olivier Theatre?
There are two levels in the venue - the stalls on the ground floor with a direct view of the stage and the circle on the first floor looking down. Both sections have quite a steep raking of the seats offering good and unobstructed views of the stage so when booking tickets at the Olivier Theatre it is recommended that you take into account whether you prefer to view the stage directly from the a ground floor level or from an elevated level looking down? There are very few seats that feature restrictions in the Olivier Theatre, however the first three rows of seats in the stalls section do not have any arm rests and are also slightly narrower than the other seats and may sometimes have slightly obstructed views depending on the layout of the production.
Why Do My Tickets At The National Theatre Come With A Booking Fee?
All of the productions showcased at the venues in the National Theatre are scheduled for limited seasons and very often feature well known actors so there do not tend be many official discount tickets at the National Theatre. The producers of all productions understandably wish to maximise profit for their shows and although they will happily use third party suppliers and agencies to sell their tickets, it is often the case that they will sell at full price to them - meaning that all tickets sold at the National Theatre online through third party websites will probably have a booking fee added to the face value of the ticket. To avoid paying booking fees at the national it can be beneficial to book directly from the box office.
