I don't know if there has been a thread on this, but this is a great twitter thread.
I want referees back in suits.

I was about to reply to the thread but went and had my dinner instead. But my reply would have been that drawing attention to the early days of tournaments is a bit dangerous in that it gives some people the opportunity to discount those tournaments. Well, there you go.I’ve always felt that the three world cups before the war shouldn’t really “count” though. At that point England would have been easily the best side in the world. Plus there was all the black shirt shenanigans with Italy.
So if you’re ten minutes late to a meeting it’s 2k!Just read it in full crazy but the site that linked is interesting as well

Well, if you were Italian would you be especially proud of those first two titles?I was about to reply to the thread but went and had my dinner instead.

Why ???That's an odd question. I'm English and I' not especially proud of the one England won.
I thought you were implying the win was tarnished as implied by the poster in regards to the Italian oneWhy should I be?
Not at all. Other than watching the 1966 final and wanting England to win and being pleased when they did I had nothing to do with it so I don't see anything to be proud about.I thought you were implying the win was tarnished as implied by the poster in regards to the Italian one
No worries then I thought it was about did it didn’t cross the line etcNot at all.
Ok, but then why would it matter if the first few editions of the tournament were fully recognised or not then?That's an odd question. I'm English and I'm not especially proud of the one England won.
£50 for forgetting to bring cakes in on your birthday?! And people complain about secret Santa. And what's a Snu? Are they from Dr Seuss?Just read it in full crazy but the site that linked is interesting as well
