Match Report |
All chance of England winning the
International Championship this season disappeared yesterday when, on
the ground of the Burnley club, they played and lost their second
fixture of the series, Wales winning by two goals to one. Wales now lead
in the competition with one win and one draw (three points), while
Ireland have won and Scotland drawn the one fixture played by each
country to date.
England gave a disappointing
display in every respect, and, outplayed for the most part, they lost to
a superior team in a game that did not produce much high-class football.
A modern craze for doing everything in a hurry spoiled all efforts at
combination on both sides. All three goals were lucky affairs. Wales
scored the first with a speculative, if brilliant, shot, which the wind
helped inside the far post, while England's captain, Hill, had the
mortification of giving away the goal that decided the issue when
steadiness would have removed all risk. England's score came from a
corner, the ball going through direct...
Want of confidence had proof in
Goodall's failure with a penalty kick when England during one period
were having all the play.

IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 28 November 1927
that the British Olympic Association agreed to send a team to Amsterdam
for the following year's games. The question of whether 'broken time'
payments for loss of earnings could be made to athletes who were
supposed to be of amateur status was still hotly disputed, however, and
the refusal of the International Olympic Committee to outlaw them
completely, eventually led to a British football team not taking part.
