Don't get me started. Virtually any other international side would have been built around a talented player like Matt. All huff n puff our lot with zero skill.
There's also the adjustment factor. Pelle, tadic etc would normally have a winter break but not here - probably the most strenuous time to be a PL player. Not there fault but it won't have helped. Next season will be better for them.
Agree with this - football as a whole was very different. But that goal at that time against that lot down the road will live with me for the rest of my days.
