Argentina 2-3 England - 2005 

There are NO friendlies between England and Argentina. How could you even think it?!

@igor putin You're talking rubbish....1962 World Cup England 3 Argentina 1....1966 World Cup England 1 Argentina 0....2002 World Cup England 1 Argentina 0....Only the cheating hand ball of Maradonna in 1986 beat England....Argentina rely on cheating as in 1978.

@igor putin Wrong again fool....Argentina have not won the world cup three times....they are just a bunch of cheats.

@igor putin You said three times fool!!!....get your facts right!!!

@igor putin You know nothing about football so shut up!

Rooney was a incredible player too

Where messi. LoL

@@mi3_4kor Messi was a kid...lol

@@mi3_4kor lies, he didn't have Xavi and Iniesta so he decided not to participate.

@@jericoalvarez3195 Si también! me olvide de ponerlo en la lista... el inglés con más huevos dentro de la cancha. Y saviola...

Extremely forgettable

Great comment. I was thinking the same thing. I remember those days we had a problem on the left with hardly any left footed players in the team, but Joe Cole always made me feel good about things when he was present.

I remember when steve G said he's better than messi. And it still makes me laugh till today

@@kikisambudi4274 Stevie G thought he himself was better than Messi? Or that Joe Cole was better than Messi?

@@stuartberesford3585 talk about joe cole

Beckham is the most underrated.. should never have been shunned by England when he still had so much to give.. let's give the young players a chance they say. Whilst Italy had Pirlo, France had Zidane etc. We are weak minded country and make decisions by emotions. Beckham was part of everything..just watch

Argentina: Abondanzieri = center italian and south italian, Ayala spaniard 60% italian 40% spaniard and 10% amerindian he is castizo, Samuel Jewish, Sorin Jewish, Zanetti = North Italian + South italian, Demichelis= Genovese italian - north west italian, Riquelme = 60% amerindian and 40% spaniard, he is indomestizo or balanced mixed, Maxi Rodríguez = spaniard+ italian and a few of jewish, Cambiasso= North Italian+ french, Tévez = 50% amerindian, 40% spaniard and 10% african ssa, Crespo= Italian, spaniard, a few of amerindian and black african ssa.

I said maybe ENGLAND didn't won't to face Argentina with messi

@@saleheledwan6673 a good time not to play them....wish united had missed barca with messi and they might have had a couple more euro cups!

@@richa1147 yes agood time not to play them and that's what I mean 👍

I hate to say it. But I think the Falklands is the reason why. It’s completely ludicrous that England vs Argentina hasn’t happened recently. Even a friendly would be great. Argentina are world ranking 1st, and England world ranking 3rd right now. We should meet, even if it means playing on a neutral ground/country.

@@saleheledwan6673no, no, no! We would love to play against him! We would love messi the superstar to play at Wembley against us, it would be great. We don’t avoid because of him.

And right there is the problem. Celebrate friendlies when you win, but when you lose say it's only a friendly

@@the12thplayeracademy65 No. You don't understand.. It's Argentina.. This was not a friendly for either team, and never will be. I celebrated joyously and still revisit this match, not because it was a friendly, but because it was against Argentina.

It's because both crowds are very passionate I think they are the best

No crowd anymore, only covid

What’s missing in recent times is coz of Corons.

VAR ruins the game too.

Where was this game?

One of the best passes I've seen

@@FredericFreedom Hilarious! That is an easy pass to make. ANY right-footed player playing on the left should be able to make that pass. It's really easy to control the power and curve (when it's low.) However if you're trying to cross it high... Impossible 😄

There was nothing friendly about that game both teams wanted the win like their lives depends on it.

There was nothing friendly about that game both teams wanted the win like their lives depends on it.

@@Grogu-485 I agree. That's the way it supposed to be.

Unfortunately the follow year at the 2006 World Cup we never got anywhere near this performance

@@paulhynes170 World cups are weird in that sense, you can have a team that played magnificent during qualifying but a year later the same system just doesn't click, or the players arrive burned out from long seasons. Also many coaches decide to play the same starting 11 from qualifying when is clear that some players aren't at their best. Its all about who's the fittest that month in my opinion.

of course: if you look at the names on the pitch you will know that big names sometimes are also big personalities, as well. And big personalities don't cheat the game

@GTS England ever lose on penalties lol.

@@diegocox2162 سكي

Good individuals don't make a good team.

Yup he was beast

I agree, he’s kind of become a joke figure since retiring because he’s really not a great pundit and has zero personality, but he was a lethal player in his day.

Absoulutely. Micheal Owen was merciless.

@@DiRtYLaWs2007 Wouldn’t say a joke figure and I think he’s a good pundit,knows what he’s talking about.I think people just forget what a force he was one of England’s greatest ever strikers.

@@stephenwylie1041 he should've been the one to break charltons record. its just our sods law to have world beaters who get injuries. remember the Portugal game Owen hadn't scored a goal and then scores the most beautiful instinctive flick after a couple of minutes. we're flying. then Rooney who was just an utter beast then goes and breaks his foot. and the sol Campbell disallowed goal. oh we've gone through ti

Yes, I remember it too! I was at a Walsall match in league 1 which kicked off early so that fans would be able to get home in time to watch the match on TV

Because at that time most national sides were stacked with legends too

TOMAS SMART BARILOCHE LA PATAGONIA ARGENTINA

BECAUSE they did mot play to there strengths by playing out from back.

Because, as always, England played brilliantly in the qualifications but as all World Cup finals are played in the summer, the players are exhausted after the Premier League competitions. This might change next year in Qatar, when the WC is going to be played in November and December - when the players are at their best.

And Crouch was 6'7"

People dont know the football

injured beast

Real marketing i mean Real Madrid destroyed his career. He was a beast when he was at Liverpool

Terrible commentator now

Was

he’s literally won a ballon d’or

If anything he's overrated

Underrated?

No he was the shit back in the day, everybody loved him

It’s because he’s a massive Tory landlord prick

Riquelme been awesome since boca. Only thing messed him up was him and ronaldinho signed for barca same time. Cant play both together. Geniuses

TRELEW RAWSON LA PATAGONIA USHUAIA ANTARTIDA ARGENTINA

The thing is so many countries hate us but when it comes to intensity it's always ramped up when it's Argentina or Germany. I can't see it happening but I'd love an England v France Euro 2021 final. Now, that would be intense.

There was nothing friendly about that game both teams wanted the win like their lives depends on it.

And what a penalty 🤣🤣🤣

Keep friendly

@@realmadridynadamas1045 And what an offside on Samuel...

Obviously follow a shit team

So this is friendly game?

If Owen hadn’t suffered so many injuries throughout his career I guarantee he’d have been England’s all time scorer by the time he retired.

He's still probably top 5 all time England strikers. He did win a Ballon d'Or, after all.

@@cgopie1 Yeah but it wasn´t a Ballon d´Or as we know it now. Back then it was the best player in Europe only. I agree Owen was one of England´s best and the injuries hurt his legacy.

He shouldn’t have moved to Real Madrid, he was like Robinho, they both went down

@@Romans8-9 When you say "In Europe", do you mean players who played in Europe? Because if so, then all the best players play in Europe anyway. If you meant people who are European, then this is not true. Ronaldo and Rivaldo both won it in the late 90s, before Owen won his Ballon d'Or. Owen won the Ballon d'Or ahead of Zidane, Raul, Rivaldo, Figo, Totti, Henry, Shevchenko, Beckham and others, who were all in their prime when Owen won it.

Very true, love your comment Perth Australia 🇦🇺

There was nothing friendly about that game both teams wanted the win like their lives depends on it.

Me too, what made it more enjoyable is that I didn't know what the score was.

Concordo.. Geração de ouro, cracks, mas não conseguiram chegar pelo menos nas meias finais de nenhuma grande competição (mundial,euro). Acho o q falhou nessa Geração foi um Cérebro um trenador de qualidade para atingir o sucesso.. Mesmo o actual tecnico da Inglaterra, o cara é Horivel,..

Trophies won by "Golden Generation"? None. Zero. They are all failures.

@@hywodnsu it's the coaches who were the failures. They were given the best but could not piece the puzzle correctly. All those players won major trophies with major clubs.

Pity England lost Glenn hoddle as Manger due to non footballing reasons as he was the one who would have got the very best out of That generation by playing good attacking football in tournaments

specially england, germany and brazil.

Fast forward to 2022...

Italy, France and Brazil were simply better teams in those days, even Portugal as well.

World Cup finals are usually shit coz both teams are nervous and keep it tight

What about Argentina - Francia WC 2022?

@Juan Iriarte people don't seem to remember that it was boring until mbappes penalty in the 80 something minute

Better than scholes

And lampard. Just shows Lampard is crap in the England jersey. Yet he starts in the middle instead of Gerrard. The last Euros they all played together showcased this. Sven swapped Gerrard for Lampard starting position and Gerrard ended up playing better, which goes without saying..

Gerrard was in the top 5 in the world during a period when there were truly great players. He had the ability to take the game by the scruff of the neck, that Gazza&Best did easily, but he seemed to need to be pushed by circumstances to find his top gear. Rooney was at his best then too.

England best midfield imo was Gerrard/Scholes plus a DM like Carrick

Danang Dwiatma Joe Cole was one the most underrated English players in his time. he moves that ball like a South American player. Joe Cole is not the typical English player was just that good, but not a media darling.

Good when he stays on his feet. Shame he dived so much in his career

Rangers manager now

Riquelme didn't play as a number 10. He played like a Thiago, a deep playing playmaker

@@WIM8 He did actually play as a 10 for most of his career, managers did occassionly play him as a deeper playmaker, particulalry later in his career, but he was predominatly played as a classic 10, in a free role with zero defensive responsability or what's known in Argentina as the enganche, literally the hook between midfield and attack.

@@WIM8 not at all

Aimar? D Alessandro? Ortega? Gallardo? Kaká? Zidane? Ozil? And more recently J. Felix.

@@WIM8 Riquelme was a hybrid. He was a conductor like Pirlo or Xavi or Thiago, but he also got forward into the 10 position and scored a lot more goals than those players. He was absolutely brilliant.

I think your right but unfortunately we had a manager that went for safety first

And gerrard! And others too. Crazy... poor managers and keepers hasn’t helped though

And still win nothing........

Am a Chelsea fan but can't deny that Gerrard was a gem of a player. A generational player.

Sedative Southgate...

Actually before Southgate England fans were barely in love with their national team. After the 2014 world cup under Roy Hodgson, where we failed to clear the group stage, our first game back was a friendly against Norway and less than half the stadium was full. People can say what they want about GS, but especially since the 2018 world cup, there has been a general shift in support from the average England fan. And during Nations league games against Spain and Croatia in the months after that world cup, the fans were in their numbers supporting the team

I think England nowadays are set up much better. There is structure in place now with the introduction of St George's Park and England have really benefited from the highly skilled technical players they have produced, by winning under 20 and under 17 World cups most recently as well as the senior team getting to semi finals and finals of Major tournaments in 2018 and 2021

Great comment. Respect to you

Promised a lot but achieved very little.

England have a few flair players now but back then you could only really look to him and Rooney for some magic

What frustrstes me is that Joe Cole was never used properly at 06 world cup. He should have played just behind Owen but Erikson went for safety first
