Agree mateThe night before England played Brazil in Japan/South Korea WC, they played the whole of that "classic" between England and Brazil from Mexico 1970. You know the one - 2 best teams, shame it wasn't the final, still might be, Pele and Moore exchanging shirts, THAT Banks save, we hit the bar, THAT Jeff Astle miss........
well feck me - it was just 90 minutes of hoofball from England.
And that was 20 years ago that I watched it through! If I saw it now it would seem like a team from Hackney Marshes.
That 1970 Brazil game was fantastic
one of the best I’ve ever seen and a brilliant advert for football generally Time flew by and we were desperately unlucky and we would have beaten them if there was a next time in the final
They were very relieved when Alf fucked it up against the Germans
No comparison to the following one which was eminently forgettable apart from Seaman’s ricket!
