Oh yes as you say there wasn’t many chances to see them back then really only world cups and European cup finals but always something I looked forward to .
|

By:
Even the European championships were so different from now there was only bits to see.

Anyway sidetracking the original thread enjoy tonight’s games
|
|
By:
Sidetracking, of course, but if you want to be the best
English man or UK player you need to stand comparison to current players, and past players, and know where past players fitted in globally, and domestically to validate comparisons. |

Dear Bomber,…………drool. What a player!

Kane has gone missing in nearly every really big game for club and country. What did he do in 2 euros finals, CL final, League cup final? Can you actually even remember whether he was on the pitch off the top of your head? If he did and they were 30 years ago you would.

How very true lurka.
|
|
By:
Yes, fair point, up to a point. Suffered in the Euros final by waistcoat telling them to defend after going one up. Was clearly less than fully fit in the CL final. Still one of the best English players of the last 15+ years.
|
|
By:
don't think they were told to defend, the italians just had better technicians and got their foot on the ball and played themselves into it, gaining momentum and confidence continuously
|
|
By:
I like Kane but lurka sums him up very well.
|
|
By:
the italians did not panic they were, in the main, control of the ball and knew eventually they would wear england down
|
|
By:
How on earth can anyone knock Harry Kane?
If you are a knocker of Kane then you really must hate the rest of English football. |
|
By:
The Italians were quite demoralised to my eye yet waistcoat had a 1-0 leading England, AT HOME IN A MAJOR FINAL,retreat, which ALLOWED Italy to gain a foothold in the game. No doubt about that for me. And many others who discussed it at the time.
|
|
By:
i watched the game myself no idea about discussion whoever there are you refer to, but imo italians kept a clear head, don't panic, there is a long way to go, but we are all entitled to our opinions,
|
|
By:
has he gone missing or was there a lack of service to him in those big games?
imo, he is a wonderful player, definitely the best english player of his generation. i think he is a joy to watch, as well as all the goals he is very hardworking and he has a great football brain. |

By:
I think Haaland will surpass anything Kane does
|
|
By:
Don't think he's English. ( see title )
