Title: Bobby Charlton
Post by Sprintcyclist on Jul 4^th, 2021 at 5:21pm

Bobby Charlton was asked how he thought the England team of '66 would have fared against Iceland.
" I think we'd have won 1-0 " he replied. "Only 1-0?" Said the reporter.
"Yes," said Bobby. "Most of us are in our 70's now!"

Very quick, and I used to watch him way back then. Man U was he? My neighbour (of some years ago) said he briefly played for her home town.....Preston NE.

On the subject of soccer, It'll be an interesting EURO final this year. I predict Italy v's England for the final. Italy will win of course.

On form....England will suffer stage fright, get the yips, and lose in the semi.

They play Denmark in the semis on Thursday. It should be a good game. I think England will win.

Italy plays Spain on Wednesday.
