At least he was an Englishman though

Any excuse to post this one. This is the best version I think, no soundtrack - just the sound of the crowd and the amazing commentator with his little bank of psychedelic sound effects and the 'goal music'

Would have to think quite a bit about a long version, and may be hard to write down as this was a pretty instinctive reaction to what pipnasty wrote, but it felt extremely right! I think mixed up in there is concepts like neolib was nothing like as entrenched as it is now, but there was a slaying of beauty here that coincides with Thatcher, Reagan, et al getting their claws into everything around this time that makes it very tempting to draw a connection and to see a symbolism in the loss which had far reaching consequences. And that Brazil team was like the last one I can recall which seemed to embody something so far beyond 'they were playing football' (sic) (high risk of 'pseuds corner') Tbh, Italy isn't so much specifically a metaphor, IMO. It's far more about what lost rather than what won. Could've just as well been West Germany/Argentina/etc so much as the Italians.... although not sure how I would see it if that France team had been the ones to ruin everything Thanks That's pretty much how I see it now, and hadn't quite realised that before your post!

Mind blown.... I know exactly what you mean!

Unlucky DM, my wife is there as well drowning her sorrows. Suzuki is quality and good chance of playing premier league level in the next couple of years. Brøndby's forwards all finished the seasons with a touch of the Darwins though sadly.

Dare some journo to ask Klopp if he needs to bring in a defensive coach

I'm always fascinated with the Bristol City one as that is right when they did their first division to fourth division in consecutive seasons, I think the first English team to do so.
