Strangely this is the first one I have seen without English commentary so looking for it elsewhere.

I got it with English comms by googling. Just at half time.

Funny, I remembered it as a reckless Keegan performance, but England’s mistake was sitting back at 2-0. They just stopped attacking at all and then Portugal scored 2 absolute screamers.

I’m also trying to remember why Figo was the Portuguese galactico when Rui Costa is the one who stands out.

Costa was better than Figo, agreed.

Figo was just so high profile because of how much of an absolute **** you his transfer to Real Madrid was. Basically buying Barcelona's captain because they could.

It may have been that our midfield was simply outnumbered and over-ran. Obviously not to the extent of my previous comment, but it's hard to attack when you can't get the ball. Looking at the line-ups, I was surprised to see that Ince still featured when he was definitely past his best and probably unable to keep up with the game. Not entirely his fault of course, but can't have helped.

Yeah found it straight away. Just got to half time myself, I had totally forgotten how good that Jao Pinto header was.

Rui Costa is one my Dad's favourite players ever so always got fond memories of him, he loved Nuno Gomes as well.

Beckham does to a pretty great Trent impression as well, it is good when some things need no revision whatsoever.

Haha I was thinking of how much Trent reminded me of Beckham a few weeks back. I think they’re the only two players I’ve seen with that ability to be absolutely lethal from deep wide positions.

I remember on PES his crossing always looked different to every other player and then there it was exactly how I remember in actual football.

Yeah this is true too, but they attacked very well early on and those players should have been dangerous on the counter. Might have faded in the summer heat, another English tournament trope.

Was trying to figure out why Phil Neville was playing. Turns out Le Saux was injured and then I could not really think of anyone else.

I was thinking how much of a handicap it was for England using mediocre utility men instead of actual full-backs, then remembered United were still doing it at the start of this season.
