The drama was great (I watched it at neighbour’s house from the 60th minute onwards).
7 similarities with the 1998 World Cup match against Argentina:
– It was the first match of the knock-out stage – Michael Owen scored for England – The match finished 2-2 – David Beckham had a nightmare (sent off in 1998; played poorly and missed penalty this time) – Sol Campbell scored a late headed ‘winning’ goal … – … which was disallowed for a foul on the goalkeeper – England lost the penalty shoot out
Coincedence? Or something more sinister?
Now that you mention it there was something of ‘Groundhog Day’ about it – very similar to before, but some details different.
And who might you be, perchance? You ‘sound’ like you know me!
