The offensive style that England played that night brought several six-yard battles and Polish moves at the last minute, but despite the overwhelming dominance of England, the Polish not only swelled. I can't help but think that a good team would take a more psychological approach today and try to pull down an opponent and hit him in a counterattack when it was clear that they were all behind the ball and one point for the game.

The highest level in football today is part of playing the rounds - understanding when men have to focus on the attack, when men have to give up the ball, and when satta king you fail and exhaust your opponent by continuing to hold the ball. This 1973 England had only one attack per round, which later became predictable as a series of balls entering the field or passes.

From a spectator's point of view, it can be fun to watch one team from the outside trying to set fire to another, but the joy of opening with a high octane can be a frustrating attempt. And England undressed and undressed even more desperately.

Kennedy's men walk, beating happily and drumming, but barely noticing the events on screen; not a silent film scene, but rather the background music that made the play so loud, was disturbing for a long time. It was early night then, but Kennedy's hats were for flying football colors in an unfamiliar environment, reminding us how far or not England had been in 37 years.
