Euro Qualifiers Nov’19

Why do refs not see a tackle, with contact, taken on the shin or instep, and the recipient then manages two or three strides with ne'er any additional lameness since the tackle, and then goes down? Are Dipper training videos readily available in places like Kosovo?
 
Sterlings shot - not one mention of Raheem Sterling from Hoddle

Great run from Chilwell, fine set up from Keane (!!?) and a great save from the keeper. Even when itv replayed it - didnt say Sterling once.

Load of sh*te and i know it shouldn't but drives me mad. Time for bargain hunt or something.......

I can still, fifty years on, give you the names of nearly all members of that team off the top of my head. I wouldn't be able to do that for any England team, except the '66 team, and even there I'm struggling beyond eight names or so (for some reason I can never remember the full backs, which is odd when you consider that it is what Ramsey was known for). Distance lends enchantment, of course, but I distinctly remember watching that game in an awe that I've never felt since. It gave me a glimpse of the beautiful game, in the fullest, most pristine sense of the word. It's been the standard, since, to which all football should measure up to, since I did see it, I didn't hallucinate it, so it is possible for eleven men to do that with a round ball on grass.
One other thing. Pelé scored more than a thousand goals. Think about that for a second — a thousand! Now I'm well aware that the last stage of his career was at the Cosmos, playing in a joke league in the States, but for the vast majority of his career Brazilian club football was far from a joke. This was in the days before Brazilians could easily play in Europe. Oh, and he won three World Cups. For me, there is no debate. Cruyff, Maradona, Messi: all very, very great players. But there is only one god of football, who looks down smilingly on them — Edson Arantes do Nascimento.

great post, sums it up far more eloquently than I ever could, I had just turned 11 when that World Cup was staged. David Coleman’s commentary on a satellite feed added to the romance of a tournament a world away. Was just fantastic and as a young lad I was enthralled by it, a far cry from the fuckers trying to ruin our game through bribery corruption and of course VAR!
