Not a happy anniversary

14 years ago. For those who haven’t seen it, good doco on that night that also covers the attempts preceding it etc

I was there. Honestly the best night I've ever had at a football match. Uruguay really had a top class team back then and we held our own. It cant be underestimated how big of an achievement qualifying was for Germany 06. Got absolutely hammered and ran into Dwight Yorke later that night in Kings Cross. The whole nation went Socceroos mad!

6 years ago today. Incredible that it's gone so fast.

That match was played a month earlier than usual, must have been because of the scheduling of 1970 World Cup in Mexico which I assume was started earlier than usual

Yeah it was a bit early so England could go earlier to get acclimatised to Mexico.

Yes in the days when the football league worked with the the interests of the national team in mind

He’d only been on the pitch for 6-7 minutes I believe before scoring that, ridiculously good goal it was.

 

[Zidane98]

Cant believe its been 4 years

Danny and Gazza on the same day. Good nostalgia

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Such a great goal to finish off a great game

I recall watching that game live before work. Ronaldo was next level, the genuine respect and applause he received from the crowd was very apparent.

Up there with the best games I've ever watched.

Nah, we won that game. That was in 2015.

I was being a touch sarcastic my friend.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Is that when Welbeck scored ?

Probably for the banter

 

[windyhill]

Probably for the banter

Seems like a nice fella Danny, but wow, injury prone !! Value for money !?! ....as Watford are currently realising.
