the best World Cup I can remember. Lots of incident, remarkably few really tedious games, not too many games decided on pelanties and the best team won it. Most satisfactory - for international football.

It all seemed a bit meh in the end. France were the best side but at the same time they didn't really look very good.
Germany going out early made it a good world cup :)
Lots ofSpurs players went deep into the tournament, most of ours were home nice and early. That's nice
Yup, splendid World Cup. :nod: I can't remember enjoying one so much for ages. And most of our players back at home getting ready to win the league while most of Spurs' first team only came home yesterday. wd Belgium and England for going so far. :-)
Shame about all the violence and racism of the barbaric, inhospitable locals though, as we were warned about. Oh wait. None of that was true.
I think the advantage they had for all those years was having a system that was geared to producing footballers for whom technique was ingrained, from the age of 6 onwards. Technique, technique, technique. Teaching kids to love the football and to bend the ball to their will.
Now every **** does it. :-(
Yes, but Belvedere... was this somewhere on the spine road, where all the factories are?
I scarped the walls of a Marmite factory there when I first left school. Then I cleaned out a grain silo. Jesus H Christ, the filth in both those places was beyond human comprehension.
It was on a little parade just north of the station. After brekky we turned east and headed to Erith. Are you sure your Marmite factory wasn't there? It's thrillingly industrial with a very modern focus on sustainability, due to the high concentration of metal recycling facilities. Which used to be called scrapyards. :hehe:
Meh :shrug: fell asleep during the final
