Cod War Three: ENG-ICE
France: Euro 2008 group phase. Four-one. Total rout.
Italy: Euro 2008 group phase. Three-nil. Total rout.
Argentina: 1998 World Cup quarter final. That Dennis Bergkamp goal.
Germany: Euro 1988 semi final. Cathartic.
Spain: 2014 World Cup group phase. Concede a goal. Pull five back.
Brazil: 1974 World Cup second round. Totaalvoetbal indeed. That Johan Cruijff goal.
We also have famous defeats over all of those, and Italy and Germany are miles ahead in flexibility, I'll concede that.
