I mean, it's not that hard to work out what it is.

Unless everybody is displaying sarcasm. In that case, carry on.

Sore point? Seeing as you got the date wrong, we didn't even know what you were talking about.

it was the 22nd in Mexico...23 in England.....semantics and all that.....you knew....its burnt in your collective psyche!

my favourite world cup.....can still see linekars bandaged wrist, the Brazil-France quarter final (Socrates, Platini and Zico all missing penalties).....the long range shots, and of course Maradona!!!!

right or wrong...the post served its purpose....

the best back-handed compliment given by Maradona to the English with tongue planted firmly in cheek.....
Maradona: “If we had been playing against another team, I would never, ever have made that goal. Another team would have knocked me to the ground way earlier, but the English are noble people.”

Was the purpose of the post to show you were wrong?

If so, I agree.

Maradona didn't even score one legitimate goal in the game.
