lovely memories of 1982 in Spain at the time of the Falklands war .. we played France in the first round against a cauldron of Spanish hate, boos, whistles, pro Argentina chanting .. we won 3-1 and pissed the Spanish (and the French) right off .. titanic performance especially from skipper Bryan Robson who scored a memorable goal .. a repeat today would be just perfect ..
my mistake, Mick Mills and not Bryan Robson was the skipper
Mick Mills took my programme on the Stoke City coach after the “last” game at The Valley and got the team to sign it for me. Top bloke, especially given we’d just beaten them and he probably wanted to get away asap.
7, Do you still have it? A very nice piece of memorabilia.
It's been a bit slow from England, French seem so much more confident on the ball and are finding their passes much better than us. Still in it though, just needs a spark
Thought we looked outclassed up until France scored, but then we’ve ‘controlled’ it since then - but France just looking to squeeze the game and catch us on the transition so no surprise.
Ref has been crap, but not his fault we are finding it hard to break through a quality team, especially when we are not committing Walker at all.
Unless Foden is allowed to drift in more I’d get Grealish of Rashford on for him so we can have someone a bit more direct.
