I've just thought of another: France 0 - 1 Senegal 2002 This was the opening game of that World Cup. France came in on the back of winning the previous World Cup and the European Championship. Senegal were World Cup newcomers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England are classed as the Home team on all the wallcharts so i'm guessing it'll be white again same as first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they eventually lost 5-3 but I was there and we couldn't believe that early 3-0. Were you, @bazza? I didn’t see you!! But yes; the reaction when the North Koreans went 3-0 up was sensational, wasn't it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0verb0y Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Only 7 minutes of second half stoppage time!! I can't help wondering if some of these games with their 10 minutes of stoppage time will influence English Referees later this season?

When they scored their third, a man near me said in a thick Scouse accent, "This is ridiculous". If Eusebio hadn't been playing, Portugal may never have got back into the game. As it was they scored two before half time. I forget how many goals Eusebio scored; 2 or maybe 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great memories I was at the Brazil v Hungary game later on. I went to see Pele play but he was injured. I thought Eusebio got 4 goals in the North Korea game. I can’t think of anyone who hit the ball harder than Eusebio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A workmate of mine did a lot of odds on betting. He had £650 on France in that game. He wasn’t a happy bunny at full time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim mk2 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Australia have been watching Tomasson's Rovers - mucking around with the ball at the back and conceding an unnecessary goal. Is Tomasson ever going to learn that you can't get away with it unless your players are of the highest standard - which Rovers' and Australia's aren't. Rovers have lost so many games this season making exactly the same mistake as Australia tonight Edited November 22, 2022 by jim mk2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) MBappe must be the fastest player I’ve ever seen. He makes defenders look like they’re running the other way. Dembele is no slouch either. Edited November 22, 2022 by Tyrone Shoelaces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Rassragr Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 France looked like you could get at them in the 1st half. Mind you, Mbappe running at our defenders would be stressful to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R0verb0y Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 One of the thoughts that this year's World Cup has put into my mind is whether a midwinter break will be more acceptable going forward in our Leagues? Maybe not as long as the break that this tournament's brought about, and maybe deeper into the winter; but a break to recharge teams' "batteries". I'm obviously thinking about Rovers here; our squad, to my mind, is too small - and too young? - to cope with a schedule of two games every week for a 46-match League season. For teams which have Cup success - as we have this season - that pressure could get to be too much. I suspect that the Premier League's paymasters wouldn't like the idea; but to an old fogey like me that savours of the tail wagging the dog.
