Optimistic Nut Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I've seen the 1955 FA Cup Final and the 1966 World Cup Final on DVD, and in general, technically, they were both sh*t matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I've seen the 1955 FA Cup Final and the 1966 World Cup Final on DVD, and in general, technically, they were both sh*t matches. Watching England in 1970 it's amazing how an English team could just keep possession and weren't treating the ball like a hot potato, they were so calm on the ball.

Easier when the game's played at basically walking tempo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen Brazil-England from that WC, tbf, and that was one of the slowest matches I've ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Discovered ESPN classics a while ago when it had our 7-1 win over spurs on, since then i've watched us beating Man Utd 5-0 and a 1 hour biography on KK. Also they have shown some quality test matches from the 90s including west indies superb comeback against Australia when they needed over 400 in their fourth innings!

M4 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 What sky channel is it again? 442? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 What sky channel is it again? 442? Aye it is. One thing i always notice from older games is how shit were keepers in the pre-90's, don't look a patch on todays keepers, especially when you consider the ball didn't move and curl as much.

thomas Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Damn, all they show on ESPN classic in the States is Toughmen competetions from 1985 "Here's Magnus "the Magnusator" ver Magnusson, set to lift a wheelbarrow full of smaller Scandinavian men, all of whom are also named Magnus. You know, John, this event really puts a strain on the thigh and back muscles, the so called 'Magnus' group of muscles." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
