I watched this game at school. It was so enjoyable smashing the poms. Becks said it was the most embrassing game of his life. I think it was the only game Sven lost in charge of England (in normal time)

That was Rooney's international debut...wow...and his firs two touches were great.

Funny that our first touch now is but a shadow of what it was then.

i remember getting up early, watching the game, getting to school very late, not getting in trouble, but instead having a little celebration with none other then former austrlian keeper terry greedy

Reserve side - matters not one jot.

lol the first half was a full strength english side and it was 2-0 at the break

the second eleven made a better fist of it

I don't know what a jot is, but I think I agree with FFC Mariner. Noone can deny we were the better team on the night, but it was just a friendly.

That is why I am dying to see an Australia - England clash in South Africa. It would be mammoth.

A couple of years ago i bought this match on DVD from the ABC shop for $5

My personal bargain of the millennium.

Nice to see it still doesn't affect you all this time later.

May be the memory has faded - but I'm pretty sure it was the week before, and it was the Thursday morning before the kids were born as I missed most of the stick at work because we had our last appointment with the quack that morning...   

 

[serious14]

Wednesday............... England time. 

 

[Sacko]

The first 2 goals were as a result of Manure players choking in such a high profile game...

Can't help but notice they were all wearing England kits..... 

 

[Sacko]

The linesman on the near side was in Green and Gold - how was ginge off side?

You won your last cup in black and white
You won your last cup in black and white
You won your last cup

It's just like the cricket, it's just like the cricket......
