Day -36 WorldCup2018
Trinidad and Tobago, Angola at a World Cup, Spain just before they exploded into a really good team, England unable to beat Sweden (again). France going within a penalty shoot-out of proving that 2002 was a terrible anomaly, England losing on penalties again. Those were just some of the stories of the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
The first round produced one of the most stunning World Cup goals, not a Maradona-style waltz through an English defence, not an Eder 1982 volley but a true "team goal". At the time you may have been thinking after pass number 15, "Argentina are not getting anywhere". But just as we often settled into that same frustration with Barcelona years later, there they were turning up the speed and, boom! A goal, 26 passes in the making.
