@henrywinter UEFA should leave FIFA and set up our own World Cup. FIFA is nothing without Europe - only Brazil and Argentina of any real significance. Other countries can either choose UEFA or FIFA. I suspect investors will find FIFA a lot less attractive!

Playing Argentina in the World Cup immediately brings back a host of memories for Mark Robson, son of the late, great Sir Bobby Robson, England's manager at the Azteca in 1986. “Dad would have been thrilled to watch the game and for England to have opportunity to progress in the tournament.”

Mark had just finished uni and watched from afar the quarter-final against Diego Maradona's Argentina 40 years ago. “I remember watching the ‘Hand of God’ moment with great clarity. He clearly punched the ball in the net and we were waiting for the ref’s whistle to blow. Then I saw Maradona running to the corner flag and celebrating and I was still waiting for the whistle or the linesman’s flag. I just couldn’t believe it when the goal stood.

“I know dad was deeply upset by the injustice of it, although he was careful with his words afterwards. I think he said football had been cheated, and it’s well known he corrected Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ description to the ‘hand of a rascal’.

“That ‘86 team had given so much and it was bitter way to go behind, but here we are, 40 years later and still reflecting on that moment, that game and that goal. That’s the power of football and it’s enabling us to do keep doing great things today through dad’s cancer foundation.

“We’re currently building a £30m cancer drug research hub and the fundraising for it is being supported by players from that ’86 squad. Peter Reid, who played a key role for dad in Mexico, is planning some special fundraising for us this year and will be visiting the site of the Sir Bobby Robson Institute in Newcastle soon.

"I know my dad would be immensely humbled that his England players are still supporting him now. In fact, he’d be staggered and really grateful for their support.

“I think he’d say, 'well, that’s why I picked them for my team in the first place, because they are men with that kind of commitment and character'."

Reid recalled, “Maradona’s first goal was what it was, but the second was magnificent. Then Gary Lineker pulled one back for us but it wasn’t enough. The gaffer was absolutely devastated afterwards. We all felt it really badly because to lose in that manner hurt. Bobby was great after the game though. He basically said to us all to go and let our hair down and, believe me, we all went and let our hair down. We needed it.

“I’m really proud to be doing some fundraising this year for Sir Bobby’s Foundation and I know it does great work. It’s an honour to still be part of his team 40 years after Mexico 86.” @SBRFoundation https://t.co/JdPJPja2Wy

It's time to ban above inflation mid-contract mobile & broadband price hikes. We investigated 47,000 tariffs, & in 75% of cases @Ofcom's protection rules meant people PAY MORE. In 99% of cases, people saw above inflation rises. It needs to stop. Full story https://t.co/70rJtoed51

@henrywinter Based upon what you have just said - to
Paraphrase- everyone else could see but he couldn’t- how is he exceptional?

@henrywinter Not what I saw against NZ - vastly overrated and wasted the ball

[Nick Baker @NWBOldgold]

@HiddenHistoryYT True re the capture by USA but in fact 3 years after the British had captured the first enigma machine from U110 in May 1941 - so not quite the game changer you might think

@prodnose Three brilliant albums - Steely Dan and Neil Young especially. James Taylor almost as good but dont recognise the 4th- it must be good 😀👍

@AndyBurnhamGM But you are an Everton fan and therefore biased- as indeed are most fans - in fairness

@StanCollymore Potentially Steve Bull (Billy Wright probably our greatest ever but…)

@LFCTransferRoom What about Brian Clough !!!

@henrywinter @EwenDCameron Why this obsession with McIlroy - he is one of 6 to win 5 majors- very good. Luke Littler has won 9 majors - 4th in All time list - in two years!!! Who is the higher ranked in their sport ?
