We took Footy Legends to a couple of friends' birthday party this weekend.

It was the first time we'd had 12 people playing together.

Safe to say... it got competitive. 😄

Two games, eight rounds, loads of laughs, plenty of shouting, and by the end people were already asking when the next game would be.

A few more finishing touches, and then it's time for the next challenge. ⚽

Four names are untouchable.

Pickford.
Rice.
Bellingham.
Kane.

The other seven? I'm still not convinced.

Who makes your England XI?

Full-time. 1-2.
England had the dream in their hands — then Messi took it.
38 years old, first time ever against them, two assists to send Argentina through.
Some things you just tip your hat to. 🐐󠁗

1:2
England sat too deep, invited it all on… and Argentina punished them.
Enzo from range, Lautaro to finish, Messi pulling the strings.
Ahead, then gone. Same old heartbreak.

England's biggest problem all tournament? Right-back.
No natural RB, bodies out of position, half-fit lads patched in.
One spot left tonight vs Argentina. Who do YOU trust there? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Sixty years. That's the wait.
1966 — the only England side ever to bring the World Cup home.
Since then? All the talent in the world. Lineker, Gascoigne, Beckham, Rooney — and heartbreak after heartbreak, so many of them against Argentina.
Tonight, in Atlanta, England get another shot at the old enemy. Kane, Bellingham, Saka — 90 minutes from a first final since '66.
We remember every chapter. Which England XI would YOU send out tonight? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Antonio Rattín died three days ago, aged 89.
You probably don't know his name — but every red card you've ever seen exists because of him.

1966. England v Argentina at Wembley. Cards didn't exist yet: referees sent you off by telling you. A German referee. An Argentine captain. Neither spoke the other's language.

Rattín was sent off. He didn't understand. He refused to leave, demanded an interpreter, and the game stopped for seven minutes. On his way out he crushed a British flag and sat down on the red carpet laid out for the Queen.
Bobby and Jack Charlton were booked in that same match. They found out the next day — from the newspaper. Nobody heard the referee say it.
That night, English referee Ken Aston drove home through London and stopped at a traffic light.
Red. Amber. Green.
That's where the cards came from.
England won 1-0 and went on to lift the World Cup. On Wednesday they play Argentina again — first time in 24 years.
Here's the spine of that 1966 side. Who else are you putting in? 👇
