Can remember every England Argentina game. They're always blockbusters. For a kid who felt England had been robbed by the hand of god in 86 (I stlll think he's the best player to have ever played the game), and the pain of losing the 98 classic galiantly with 10 men, when Beckham's redemption penalty winner in Japan went in - the feeling I cannot describe. I bought the pub champagne and then went into work about midday to be promptly sent away again!

Can't wait to watch this!! My parents don't talk about football, but they do tell me about one thing, which is Maradona in '86.
