Have watched this countless times over the years. Brilliant.

50 years ago today (GB time), Carlisle United defeated Roma 3-2 in front of the Roma faithful. Still considered one of the Cumbrian clubs finest achievements.

The goal hero who helped Carlisle United topple Roma - 50 years ago today

Brazil were just magical when I was a kid. Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos… they were like a team of super heroes to an 11 year old.

Denilson and Cafu too.

How long ago was Ronaldinho’s free kick vs England? That was an insane one as well.

2002 World Cup. So it’s almost 20 years.

Was a great tournament, and being in Japan and South Korea, the kick off times were from 3pm AEST onwards. Brilliant.

I remember that. Straight to the pub after work to watch it.

20 years yesterday

20 years. Wow. Remember setting up a spare room as a world Cup viewing room. Watch every game.

Was even posting on BF back then, would be interesting to see what I had to say.

Looks like you were more excited at Anelka going to City.

Tbf, don't blame him. Anelka was very good.

Probably. Getting someone like Anelka was amazing for a club that was in the 3rd division a few years earlier.

I didn't mean it as a criticism, I literally just scrolled back and you'd made a thread about it lol.

Remember thinking Chelsea were crazy to pay that much. Ended up one of the biggest bargains of all time.

 

[Cruyff14]

Used to hate Lampard when I was in high school. The amount of deflections he used to score s**t me no end.

Finally came to appreciate him as I got older, don't think I've seen many more consistent players than him.

A day late, however;

On this day, 25 years ago, Ronaldo signed for Inter Milan for a world record fee of €27M.

He scored 25 league goals in his first season and was named Serie A Footballer of the Year.
