i nearly wept when the irons were relegated the other year. it caught me unawares, i can tell you.
Euro 96 for me too. I was 13, which is perhaps a little too old, but it was the only time I can remember England having a decent team (emphasis on team) and they enlightened that summer for me.
The way top flight football is structured these days sometimes makes me want to cry metaphorically.

everything.
Anyone who is so fragile that the outcome of a game reuces them to tears is IMO likely to have other deeper issues going on there - watching 11 men who (in many of the cases mentioned on here) earn more in a week than most of us will see in a year lose a game of football - seriously, sort yourself out because your priorities in life may be just a little bit fucked.
Fuckin penalties! (and a shit on the night team 
)
Answering the OP question : last night, almost

Dhimmi said:No, but my son has. He was doing well after those Portugese swine had knocked England out of the last world cup, right up until he saw Terry start crying.
Apologies if this is too big.
funny how football affects different people in different ways.....
I was laughing my balls off at that.
Twice
In 1998 we were 3-1 up after the first leg of the play off against Northampton Town and odds on favourites to go to Wembley. We lost the second leg 3-0 with a dreadful performance. I stood in the away end at SIxfields that night and bawled my eyes out, which was surprising because I wasn't expecting to do that until it just happened.
I swore I'd never do that again. Then we got relegated to Division Four in 2001, the lowest point in our history, after a home defeat against Wycombe and I was off again.
If you ask me, anyone who hasn't followed their team home and away, as much as they can, and poured their heart and soul into the side will never understand this. They're weirdoes.

Ich bin ein Mod
does his make up in his room
When Raith Rovers beat us on penalties for the 1995 Coca Cola Cup Final. I was only 12 though, and was more concerned with the slagging I'd get at school for us being so shite

No, but I've booted a tv across the room. When I was a student. And Arsenal scored in the dying seconds against Liverpool to win the league. But I don't think I'd do it again.

Nah, it kind of rolled over several times and ripped the plug out but that was it. I'm not that rock and roll. Although I did once take an axe to my best mate's telly when we were both pissed. It was very cathartic. And he was just about to buy a new wide screen so it was his idea.

I guess it makes sense. It's a game where men in short pants and kneesocks run around and take pratfalls, with lots of histrionics. I guess it makes sense that the fans would cry.
born in 82, the arsenal game in '89 and the palace cup semi final in '90
i'd gotten too old for it and used to defeat by the time cuntona happened in '96.
i don't even think i understood the full magnitude of the arsenal game but my brother an arse and my step dad (not even a football fan) were there taking the piss and tears were always easy to come by in those days.
i have always feared away kits and hated grey since the palace game, the only reasonable explanation for our defeat. god fucking smited us for something that day, the cunt.
didn't watch the hillsborough game, i think someone told us what was happening when we passed them cycling into town, not sure though, all a bit of a blur.

Fantastic. What a tart!!
plus, they were always going to lose once it got to extra-time, and deserved nothing from the game.
Istanbul, 3-0 at half time, travelled right across the continent to see yer team getting absolutely murdered... fair enough to cry then... even more reason to those who left at HT.
