demob happy spirit might be putting it uh might not quite be the right formulation but there was definitely a feeling of we're back we we need to enjoy this and actually show that we can compete at that level and owen's goal i think summed up more than any other moment just the the the hoots part of it
Roasting his way through the Argentina back line.
And an Argentina back line which seemed to consist of, like, a defensive line and then Roberto Ayala, like, 40 metres behind it.
The kind of thing that if you showed that to someone today, used to high lines...
They were just completely confused that he still had a defender to beat at the end, just camping on the edge of his own box.
An amazing goal, an amazing moment, but probably overshadowed within the same match by David Beckham's red card for kicking out Diego Simeone.
Beckham kind of flicking his foot out while lying on the floor, Simeone milking it for all it was worth and Beckham being shown the red card, which proved pretty costly because England went on to lose on penalties.
And I think actually more than the moment itself was the vilification of Beckham in the press, in the media afterwards.
Ten heroic lines, one stupid boy, the very famous headline on the Daily Mirror, the front page.
This is not the back page.
This was how how big this was.
He had a David Beckham effigy hanging from a lamppost.
So, yeah, and really a moment that actually.
would spur Beckham on to greater things in many ways.
It made him, in most of the country, briefly, I would say, a hate figure.
But it made Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson, kind of get behind him.
And, you know, within a year, Manchester United were winning the treble with Beckham very prominently.
And yeah, I think it probably got him used to being in the limelight and he would never leave it.
Great to have a podcast just relitigating England red and yellow cards.
Gaza, harsh.
