So obviously there will be a considerable amount of crossover from other related threads when it comes to lists and anecdotes but it had to be done (well, I had to do it)..
Let's see how many shared and how many unique experiences we've had:
1973:
Goodison Park: Northern Ireland 1 Wales 0. Less than 5,000 attended, so I doubt if anyone on here would have been there. But who knows?
1983:
Wembley: England 2 Scotland 0
Wembley: England 2 Hungary 0
A lot of the knuckleheads in the crowd booed Puskas when he was presented before the match. I'm happy to say that the people I was with did their best to shut them the fuck up.
1990:
El Molinón, Gijón: Spain 3 Brazil 0 (five days after I had seen David Bowie live, also in Gijón, for the first and only time. Heady days...)
2014:
Ciutat de Valencia (Levante's ground): Spain 5 Macedonia 1
2019:
Mestalla: Spain 2 Norway 1
In both of the Spain matches Manolo el del Bombo made his customary appearance. I don't mind a drum or two but he doesn't really play his drum, just bangs it. And worse, he doesn't even seem to watch the games, both of which featured the dreaded Mexican wave. This should be banned except for very small children.
There: the thread is started, so let's see it die a quick death, or...?
