Completely pointless article written by someone who doesn't seem to grasp the concept that you can't measure things like this across completely different era's.  And thats before starting on the home advantage factor in major tourns.

so if it was 0-0 and Beckham came on to supply the cross and they win 1-0 would the vitriol still be evident. Jeff Powell GFY.

Jeff Powell has been a joke for over a decade. To be fair a lot of tabloid football journalists are too.

Henry Winter at the Telegraph, Paddy Barclay and Ian Ridley FTW


As to article, waste of time/non-story/muck-raking

On general sport, sure

but mine were the football writers


Mail Sports jounros are the Pits. They have a general sports features guy called Patrick Collins who writes the most obsequious lazy self serving pieces of tripe it is my misfortune to read in a sporting context.
