Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
Yet another
contrived summer tournament - The Umbro Cup - kicked off with
England taking on Japan for the first time. Once again the Terry Venables
luck was in, with most neutral observers considering England greatly
flattered by their 2-1 victory. Darren Anderton and skipper David
Platt scored the goals that won the match for England against a Japanese
team that played with enormous enthusiasm and well-developed skill. It was
only in the air that England were vastly superior, but they were unable to
cash in on this advantage. Gary Neville made a sound debut at right-back,
while John Scales and David Unsworth played together for the only time at
international level.
