Actually it wasn't Bishop Aukland but West Auckland

Oh yes, I remember that one too. It was the Liverpool game. Only 0 - 0 draw in the history of the game - it's very famous. The most common scoreline is 32 - 29.

LOL! Thanks, orfeo. However, though I am a soccer rookie I'm not a sports rookie or, more importantly, a forum rookie. And I'm already looking forward to the next World Cup, which will be played in space with transparent balls. A fact which I learned in this thread and have already shared with the boys at the local bar. They are going to owe me many beers four years from now.

Germany vs Poland was very exciting, though I felt a bit sorry for the Poles when it ended.

It might be a good time to buy shares in aerospace companies - a lot of fans will be going to Proxima Centauri in four years' time. 😉

Nah. Proxima Centauri is a dump.
