What's the best England goal ever?
6/21/202638 min
On a Brooklyn rooftop, Ali, George and Dave take a break from England's World Cup campaign to have a natter about various aspects of England history and being an England fan.
What is England's greatest World Cup goal? Joe Cole against Sweden? Michael Owen against Argentina? Platt? Hurst? The lads make their cases.
They discuss the retro-shirt dilemma, the England moments they'd change forever and memories that have shaped their relationship with England over the years. Plus: stories from the USA, plans for the knockout stages, and a look ahead to England's next game against Ghana.
