So this was the first ever international football match...

Classic 4-0-6

Fuck knows how England played with one CB and one WB though

>0-0 tie

once semen slurping, always semen slurping

>0-0
An appropriate beginning to an utterly pointless game

>drawing against Scot Marino

Look, just because the Ohio Manta Rays played the Florida Grizzlies at the XVIIXVCI Gatorade Bowl for the first sporting fixture in US history doesn't mean you have to get mad at a real sport.

How did people watch American Football back in the day if there were no tv commercials?

>>77177821
They didn't.
That's why it wasn't invented until the 1960s.

>played both defender and goalkeeper
>literally the one man backbone of england's world class 1-1-8 formation

>the only playmaker on the English team has a foreign name
Ah so English football hasn't changed that much over the years then

>>77177916
Who's that then?

>i rate Reginald de Courtenay Welch

>>77177930
Reginald who sounds like he's got some French aristocratic roots

>>77177713
>>77177719
It means the game is difficult to play. It's not only goals that make football entertaining.

>>77177693
>Scottish referee
How did England agree on this?

>>77177948
Courtenay was a common middle name at the time. There's no 'de' in his name on the official websites, plus his father was a lawyer so there's no way he was an aristocrat.

>>77177983
shhh we're on speeh, you're supposed to call names, not try have actual proper arguments

de means of. Of the courtenay house. Courtenay is a place in France. Finns are generally mongols but he's right here

>no Gerrard

>all of Scotland's players come from one club
>England had palyers from 9 different clubs
>still couldn't win

Reminder that the scottish killed football with their passing tiki-taka 2-2-6.

>>77178032
That's not his name though. There's no 'de' in his name other than on the Wikii

>Robert Smith

The fuck is this shit!?

>4-0-6 formation vs 2-0-8 formation

Football has been around since the time of the first international soccer match. Before the 60s however it was pretty much rugby with an occasional forward pass.

Can we give soccer its own board? It's annoying to see every thread devolve into America vs Europe shitposting, we've already got 3 or 4 different boards for that.
