Anyone else watching this brilliant re run of
#1966WorldCup final on
@channel5_tv in aid of
@DementiaUK
SIXTY years ago, but there’s something more then nostalgia about watching this today…
THIS IS THE FOOTBALL I fell in love with ❤️
Obvious differences to note….
🔺Pace is far quicker, game flows from end to end.
🔺Players dribbling, running with ball going past opponents
🔺Ball is CONSTANTLY played forward, VERY FEW sideway passing.
🔺NO TIME wasted with player’s feigning injury
🔺Keepers have NO GLOVES!
🔺Players riding tackles, NO ONE goes to ground, you stayed on your feet!
Modern game has evolved the science and technology involved is for the better, training methods, nutrition and dietary etc, improved health and fitness….
BUT… AND Here’s the question??
Viewing this re run, is it a more enjoyable watch, experience ???
I personally think not…
