Must admit laughed at that

Who remembers 66 and what happened then ?
Rattin sent off, Sir Geoff Hurst only goal. Ramsey branded the Argentinians as 'Animals'


1986 the infamous hand of Maradona and Lineker late gial

1998 lost on penalties Beckham sent off. Owen famous goal

2002 redemption

Sorry boys. I was pulling for you.


Messi wraps the game around him. It conforms to his will even at 39. This WC has been a display of his status as GOAT.

[Moonglum]

Oh well, at least England can have another go at Argentina this coming Saturday in the RU Nations Championship!

As it happens, the infamous Antonio Rattin died last Saturday at the age of 89. After his playing career he was a not very successful coach, and more recently had been a National Deputy (equivalent of our MP) in the Argentine parliament, but over here he'll always be remembered for his Wembley strop in 66. No evidence of him having had any interest in N Gauge, disappointingly ...

Well, that was an enjoyable match. Congratulations England!   

[Moonglum]

And in other news, Rugby Union, England beat Argentina (just) 31-24 in a very scrappy and ill disciplined game.

The French lack of interest in the game was slightly less than ours. Rice scored a cracker but barely celebrated which said it all about the match no one ever wants to play.

[Foxhound]

Conceding only 1 goal in the entire tournament is testament to Spain. A good job done.

[Moonglum]

Agreed, I am pleased that Spain won but I only watched a bit of the game live.
