We beat Egypt 1-0 in the group, the rest of what you say stands though, iirc everyone wanted Robson's head.
My mistake. Was years ago I looked it up, think it was in the build up to euro 2020 when everyone was slating 2018 and I couldn't understand the difference.
I honestly hope there's exactly one more. Ideally a second one in the 93rd minute which is incorrectly given as a goal kick.
Arnold just plays for himself, long balls and crosses straight to the opposition, no one ever mentions it though.
Yeah well rude mate. I hate it when people who don't know you exist don't consider you in their decision making. I'm still upset with Hamas for ruining my holiday plans in Jordan.
Bobby Robson got lucky as an England manager IMHO ... in '86 we were fookin' awful until 2 things happened that likely saved us from an ignominious group stage exit ... Bryan Robson dislocated his shoulder and Ray Wilkins got sent off - Robson was therefore forced to make changes for the final group game against Poland that we needed to win or we were out ... He dropped the rather one dimensional Mark Hateley and brought in rookie Gary Lineker and the little genius that was Peter Beardsley... we won 3-0 with a Lineker hat-trick, two of which were set-up by Beardsley... we then grew into the tournament until being ousted by Argentina and the Hand of God...
Beardsley was and still is massively underrated. Genius of a footballer that never really got the recognition he deserved
Yep, can't disagree. We lost to the Argies, however, and I'd suggest Robbo wouldn't have let Diego dance round him the same way Reid (who I've always rated highly btw) and Hodgson did for that second goal. He'd have taken the little **** out.
Ha, oh yeah. Could picture him as Maradona skinned him down the right wing but his name didn't come to mind!
