COMMENT: Thank you for that; I was in England just a couple of years, when England won the World Cup in '66. I thought the best team then was Portugal...although they were accused of kicking Pele out of the tournament. Had Portugal won, it would have been an one man show- the great Eusebio. As it is only two persons have been given that accolade of greatness and responsible for their Countries victory - Garincha of Brazil in '62 and Maradona in '78. On Sunday the whole of England will be on tenterhooks - do or die....so love us with all of your heart! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qan4Ewxl1-o -- DEV BOREM KORUM Gabe Menezes.
