If you had the chance to go back in time and change ONE incident from any match, what would it be and how do you think it would have affected the match?

Would you disallow Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal?
Would you allow Frank Lampard's infamous 'ball crossed the line' goal to stand?
Would you make Gazza's outstretched foot make contact with the ball and put England 2-1 up against the Germans?
 
Anyway, back in the real world and answering your question Supers I would offer Beckham's stupid kick against Argentina where he got sent off. We had a decent chance in that cup and his sending off killed our chances pretty much there and then. Pillock!
 
For which incident though JWM.

Was it for the reckless challenge?

or

The deliberate Handball? (which i don't blame anybody for trying to get away with it)

or

Deliberately getting Delaney sent off (please see above)

or

Just for being a fat ****!


All four and for having that ridiculus moustache! Movember or no Movember it was an affront to style and common decency!
 
Seriously, I would go for gazza' tackle against Gary Charles in the FA Cup final. That seriously ****ed up one of the greatest footballers this country has ever produced!



And i'm not talking about Gary Charles!

agree. apart from euro04 and euro96, probably the best chance england have had of winning something since 66. we still should have won the game - sol campbell's disallowed goal could be another nomination!
 
If Peter Bonetti had saved Beckenbauers tame effort instead of letting it roll under his body, we may have gone on to face Brazil in the 1970 WC Final and though that Brazil side were arguably the greatest side ever to play football, we may just have had a shout of winning and retaing the trophy.

Maybe more to the point IF Alf hadn't subbed Bobby Charlton with only minutes to go we would have gone through! He was afterall effectively marking Beckenbauer! <ok>
