England and the World Cup

[Beezerk]

Vague memories of that Holland player scoring a screamer in the 78 World Cup.
86 was my first proper "getting into it" experience though, 90 definitely the best I've watched.

More likely he just has a poor memory. I thought Phil was older than me.

First matches I can remember were in 66.

Cheeky get :rant:

I have highlighted your first mistake - stop doing that - its very dangerous for you

Do we still allow children on the forum??

I remember 1966 but because of that barely remember anything else .............!

In 94 is 20 years ago old chap! Just coz I've not got a pipe and slippers doesn't mean I'm a child.

I remember '82 reasonably well, '78 was just a bit too early for me. I can still recall that for some reason whenever me and my mates were playing football circa '82 and onwards, if you scored a cracker of a goal you ran off to the (commentator style) shouts of Rummennige...........Archibald didn't have the same ring to it! Lol

Rummennige became a bit of a legend amongst us as a result.

Missed the game last night as I was on a works leaving do.....and paying the price today. No golf for me. Italia 90 was the one for me. First one I could drink for and boy did we get tucked in for the England games. The pub I used at the time was fantastic. We were known and knew everyone and the atmosphere was superb. I can still remember the beers flying as Platt got that goal against Belgium and the tension of the Cameroon game. The semi could have gone either way and was a messy night drowning the sorrows

Italia 90 is also the first WC I can remember,but I was only 8 at the time

I can just about remember the 1966 final, mainly because I was trying to see whether I could spot my dad in the crowd!
I've still got his ticket.

Is this a joke? Henderson's been one of liverpools best players this season and you could tell how much they missed him when he was suspended at the end. As for Johnson, well who else would you put there? And don't say smalling.

As for Welbeck, he is truely awful, if he played for a smaller club he wouldn't even get in the squad. He's had a terrible season but I bet he starts against Italy. He's like Bambi on ice and his second touch is normally a tackle.

Made me laugh !!!!
