mjmooney Posted December 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2022 I was alive for 1954 (just!), 1958 and 1962, but I have no recollection of them. The first one I remember clearly was 1966. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 13 hours ago, KentVillan said: It worked particularly well against Argentina because their defence is quite small. Just Googling their heights - Lisandro Martinez 5'9, Otamendi 6'0, Romero 6'1. Not sure who exactly was on the pitch when van Gaal rolled the dice, but Tagliafico 5'8, Montiel 5'9, Holding midfielder Enzo Fernandez 5'10. It was the smart move in this game. In the Premier League I don't think you get that match up so often, but I agree it's a good option to have. I am not in favour of big teams or small teams in stature.....but I think you need a mix, which gives you balance. It just nags at me at times to see wingers pumping the ball in, and having no chance of getting a header on target or disrupting centre backs.....its like going through the motions, with little objective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Has any Villa player ever won the World Cup? (I mean while their domestic team was Villa). I can't think of one offhand. If not then maybe Emi's about to become the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of one offhand. If not then maybe Emi's about to become the first. I don’t think so. It’s only in the modern era we have had foreign international players in our squads and we’ve definitely not had any in the last few world cups.
