@leeds_snippets If I remember we received 10000 allocation. When we got to the ground touts were everywhere and seemed to have handfuls of tickets. Not a healthy atmosphere from the start.
@SiClancy Correct Simon. I'm old enough to remember 1970. Probably the best England team to play in the finals. Beaten by a great German team who lost to an exceptional Italy who in turn lost to greatest ever Brazilian side.
@SiClancy Bigger mystery is the Gordon Spence combo. Plus diagonal balls into the box from narrow positions. Easy to defend if you're half competent. And you could argue Pickford got away with one. Poor performance but most teams drop one in.
@Jon_Mackenzie@lucyjward_ Absolutely. Why we pay all that money to listen to the drivel and stating the obvious from the likes of Shearer and Keown is baffling.
@henrywinter Because game is played over two halves of 45 minutes. Shows how robotical modern footballers are. Can't think on their feet. Need to be shown via a tablet. Plus it's part of the physical side of the game. Tough if you can't last for 45 minutes.
@SiClancy Not wrong Simon. MOTD should be on every morning with the previous days highlights. To be honest I'm not that bothered about international football but the highlights should be available.
@SiClancy Thank God for Mexico. Proper football nation. Can't say the same about the other two host countries. International football leaves me cold but Japan and Morocco look interesting.
