What a fine way to put it!

This is something the Americans will _never_ understand. (Commentary
shows it, as on TV, as in the blogs, as on Usenet.) But it really is

England have to do what we did in our matches... go forward, go forward.

How so?

Hurst's was in.

One of the arguments against *that* goal has been that it couldn't
possibly have crossed the line by the laws of physics

Well, barely a meter but I did not even need a replay to see that.
Gotta love soccer.
