The massive hypocrisy is that there are six members of the Argentina squad (several that were in the immediate vicinity or were actually holding the banner) that play their football in England and are quite happy to take their six figure weekly salaries in British pounds.
Out of the three semi finals and two finals I've seen us in (not counting '66 as still in nappies), I think this one ranks as a bigger disappointment than even the finals. For an hour we had nullified Argentina who had hardly laid a glove on us up till we scored. I really thought I was going to be seeing us in a World Cup final.
As Rooney mentioned on the telly, after scoring, why not man mark Messi, take him out of it so it's 10v10 for the last third of the game?
Rashford and Saka were the first subs needed because in full back positions Argentina really weren't that good.
From the BBC highlights of the 1962 World Cup game that are on YouTube, Kenneth Wolstenholme says that "Argentina are in the all dark strip" It looks like they're wearing the black home shorts they used to wear (although for some reason now they don't, they wear white?) and the grey socks they were wearing against us in 1966. I'm presuming the shirts are dark blue.
