Norman Hunter Terry Cooper I may be wrong, but I don't think Hunter played in the Cup - although he was in the 66 and 70 squads (I've got his medallion in my ESSO '70 tournament book! ) Cooper never scored for England. Not sure if Jacki D scored for Poland at the finals?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a quick Google I think Jacki only went to the '86 finals. Poland only scored 1 goal in their 4 matches. Scored by Smolarek. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Stern John scored in 2006 World Cup but it was ruled out for offside (pre VAR) so it might really have been onside. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 I tell you what, I do not have the talent to be a TV cameraman following the game at one of these Cup matches, but if I was assigned the "totty camera" role, scanning the crowd for the nice-looking ladies jumping up and down, I could draw on a skillset developed for decades. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, I recall at the time it being said that Costa Rica were missing their top scorer, Saborio, through injury so I don't think he played at all in the Finals despite his goals getting them there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 France won their first game comfortably and are in exactly the same position as us.

It still doesn’t excuse our terrible performance and neither does the fact that we could relax and not take any risks because a draw would see us qualify. France will also effectively qualify as a draw but they seem to have turned up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have the players to be better than them yes Sorry, but I think you’re wearing slightly rose tinted glasses. Yes we have some good players but we aren’t on the same level as those teams. I do agree with those saying that Foden should maybe have come on last night but it’s the typical stick to beat an England manager with. “Oh if he’d played such and such we’d be watching a completely different game as such and such is the best player ever” He should have come on instead of Sterling or Saka as he usually plays wide in a front 3. Alexander-Arnold is the one I felt should have come on as the best passer and crosser in the team. Trippier had a bit of a mare last night 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
