In light of England vs Argentina, I decided to revisit the 98 World Cup match. The one where Beckham is a retard and lightly kicks out at Simeone and gets a red.
Jesus Christ, watching it again in hindsight with zero England bias is insane. Owen is straight up diving for half the match, Scholes has like 5 chances to score from 10 yards out and fucks every single one of them, Seaman gives away the most retarded penalty I've seen and as mentioned before, the Beckham thing has got to be the dumbest fucking thing to get sent off for. If you're pissed off and want to get a red then go studs up and break the fucker, don't gently tap someone with your leg in full fucking display of the referee.
I think that team honestly pissed me off more than the 'golden generation' of 02-08 because every single fucking player in that first team was incredible yet they had the mentality of a child and could not work together for the fucking life of them. If they'd taken a breather, gone "hey lads, lets fucking pass the ball" they could have smashed Argentina 4-0 but they didn't. They fucking took Argentina to penalties despite playing an HOUR a man down so could have at least scraped by before pens with Beckham still on the field.
Now time to watch the 'Hand of God' game.
