12-2, 9-1 (against Netherlands), 10-0, 12-0, 0-15 (France), 11-2 (Belgium): the first matches of England vs the Continent. England reigned supreme, Sweden Switzerland, Spain were all thrashed. The 2-2 against France in 1945 was probably the first time a Continental team did not lose in England. England kept on winning at home until they faced the best team of that time in the World : The Hungarians. The best team of the world outside Great Britain of course. So the English were rather confident they would win this friendly too.
