So many things could have gone wrong and resulted in a penalty, but he pulled it off. I wonder how far today's strikers would have rolled if they had been subjected to a tackle like that.

I guess that Brazil '70 team is in the top 2 or 3 teams ever assembled, so it was a great performance from England. I remember when we drew Brazil in the 2002 world cup, the BBC screened the whole game, so that it would get the nation in the mood - can you imagine any other nation on earth showing a 1-0 defeat to get the country pumped for a game against Brazil! I remember when I joined the school football team when I was 8 or 9, and the coach's teamtalk was telling us that Bobby Moore once said he'd rather be remembered for that 1-0 defeat where he played brilliantly than the 1966 final where hewwas rubbish. I was soon dropped from the side for being a fancy-dan, but that talk always stuck with me. Indeed at Baddiel being Jarzo, ridiculous.
