A hyperactive Peri! Too ghastly to contemplate.nyssa@abnji.UUCP (nyssa of traken) (06/06/85)
During a recent trip to Europe, I was able to attend/see/hear about the following matches: Cup Winners' Cup Final: Everton 3 Rapid Vienna 1 Everton apparently dominated the match from beginning to end. Based on their recent performances, they may be the best team in Europe's history, but now will be unable to prove that. There was no crowd trouble at this match. FA Cup Final: (attended) Manchester United 1 Everton 0 aet This match was played very tactically. Everton were run down after their previous match, so played for time and sudden advantage. This they got midway through the second half when a through ball gave them a breakaway with only United's keeper between three Everton players and the goal. Kevin Moran broke this play up with a tackle from behind on Alan Reid which resulted in Moran being the first player in FA Cup Final history to be sent off. United then rose to the occasion, held out frequent Everton challenges, and in the 111th minute, Norman Whiteside scored on a well hit ball which Neville Southall misjudged. The only incedence of violence by fans during this match occurred when a supporter of one side was silenced when he started to sing during a moment of silence for the victims at Bradford. World Cup: Finland 1 England 1 Finland had the better chances in this match, England looked poor. Rous Trophy: Scotland 1 England 0 (watched on the telly at Heathrow) Gough of Dundee United scored a beautiful goal to beat the Auld Enemy in Hampden Park. The match was originally scheduled for Wembley, but the government ordered the match moved to Glasgow, fearing yet another Tartan invasion. A group of fans, protesting this move, showed up at Wembley anyway. The goal came midway through the second half, after a prolonged period of English pressure. Jim Leighton (Aberdeen) was superb in goal. The goal came when Gough backheeled the ball to McLeish (Aberdeen), who crossed it for Gough to head in from about 7 feet. UEFA Cup Second Leg: Real Madrid 0 Videoton 1 (3-1 agg) Madrid packed 11 men back to prevent Videoton from getting the 4 goals they needed to win the cup. World Cup: Iceland 0 Scotland 1 An undeserved victory for Scotland, Iceland had most of the play, but Jim Bett scored 4 minutes from time to give Scotland 2 vital points on the road to Mexico. With one match to go, Scotland lead the group on goal difference. A draw at Wales in their final match will ensure that Scotland advance to the next round (home and away against the winners of the Oceania Group). Spain have two more matches, both with Iceland. They need to win these two by 5 goals more than Scotland (if Scotland beat Wales, 3 if Wales win) to win the group outright. The group winner automatically qualifies for Mexico, the runner up plays Oceania. European Cup Final: Liverpool 0 Juventus 1 A match marred off the pitch by crowd trouble was marred on the pitch by poor refereeing. Liverpool dominated the match, forcing Juventus's goalkeeper to make many hurried saves, but on a break, Juventus's Zbignew Boniek (Poland) took a dive one yard outside the penalty box. The official awarded a penalty kick (incorrect), and Michel Platini (France) scored the only goal of the match. England's next 8 matches: vs West Germany in Mexico (5 June) vs Mexico in Mexico (9 June) vs Italy in Mexico (12 June) vs USA in Los Angeles (16 June) home vs Romania (Fall) home vs Northern Ireland (Fall) home vs Turkey (Fall) at Scotland (Spring) -- James C Armstrong, Jnr. ihnp4!abnji!nyssa The Boss gave me one of these, ten seconds, he said. Let's see if it works...
