Using Welsh and Scottish logic (excuses) England did very well against a massive country like USA. They are far bigger than us so we did well to hold them to nil.
Ex Leeds player Steve Hodge had Maradona’s shirt from that game. He auctioned it at Sotheby’s six months ago and Qatar bought it for £7M Nice bit of business.
Don’t forget America have about ten sports ahead of Football so only a minority play it. England on other hand don’t play anything else and add 100k foreigners arriving in your shores every year, many talented footballers among them, you’re seriously underachieving
You are joking? My school didn’t even play football it was rugby league. We play pretty much everything (badly, in the main). Going back to Revies time the reason often given for our low ish attendances is the competing 2 rugby games which are strong in Leeds
I know all that bud, I’m old and a Leeds fan. But they didn’t qualify and It didn’t fit with my narrative of slagging off the sweaties
It wasn't about the money for Steve. Maradona put his steve hodge shirt on ebay a few years back, so it was just a tit 4 tat thing.
I take it as a given that we are all England to knock the sweaty, sheep molesting, leek eating, inbred ****wits out tomorrow?
