Day -727. WorldCup2018
In the early days of my football life I remember Gerry Armstrong
scoring that goal in the 1982 World Cup to beat hosts Spain 1-0. I
didn't realise how crazy it was at the time, what a huge surprise it was
that Northern Ireland beat Spain. Today they beat Ukraine 2-0 to win at
the European Championships for the first time. Being more knowledgeable
than I was 34 years ago it felt pretty big. This is a team that has
players who play in the second and third level of English football. And
even though Ukraine may not be a powerhouse, it still seems that there
should be a big difference in skill levels. I guess the experts were
right about the value of team spirit.
Pity it didn't count for much for
Wales......
