Poor old Graham. Looking at his career he was living a real life nightmare with England. Poor players, best players injured or out of form. Losing away to hostile crowds who knew England were weak and vulnerable. It's the only time he failed and it was the biggest failure of all. He looks completely dumbfounded and lost. Knowing what a gentleman and nice guy he was it is sad to watch.
Lol seems like Ron Atkinson disagreed with his team selection though... Atkinson was being polite but it's clearly not the team he would have selected. He probably would have selected some of the players like Ince and pallister. But I actually agreed with Ron Atkinson at the time. I think there was better players. And I understand his frustration Aston villa finishing runners up that season with no first team international players... And I think teams like Norwich and Sheffield Wednesday was doing well for a good few seasons, showing they had strong English players but yet not many players from those teams in the side. Apart from Carlton Palmer which was a bit controversial.
@@kailashpatel1706 agree. I think Carlton Palmer was a great club player. But I don't think his style suited international football, in a similar way to Vinnie Jones. I agree about Andy Sinton and I also think Nigel Clough shouldn't have been there. I don't understand the obsession with Nigel Clough... I wouldn't have picked Les Ferdinand... Ferdinand was a powerful striker a bit like the Brazilian Hulk... Again effective at club level. People forget Taylor refused to play Chris Waddle. Ruel Fox who was the fast tricky winger should have been playing. Ron Atkinson was right about Earl Barrett, David Hirst a centre forward who had everything and an all-round game. I could keep going with all the footballers but I do believe there was better players he could have looked at. And I think if he'd have given these players a chance they would have progressed.
I was in a caravan on holiday in Wales when this match was on. I remember it didn’t kick off till something like 1/2am and to have a live game on at that time was a real treat, especially as a kid. I stayed up with my dad who said he would allow it as a one off. I have more memories of that specially than the game itself, haha
Fun fact: the two times England lost to the US, they wore their away kits (blue in the 1950 World Cup, and the red jersey in 1993). Since they wore the white shirts in the last two World Cup meetings, they ended in draw with the US.
2.35 haha big ron getting paid by itv to be a pundit, says if he was manager he wouldnt of even gone to the game and that the match is a waste of time😅
Ian Wright walked in for two easy goals in the last 10 minutes and incomprehensibly missed them both. He had the entire goal and put both into the keeper's arms.

It was very embarrassing for the England National Football Team. It was personally the most disgraceful, embarrassment, hopeless, scandalous, shambolic, unfit, unprofessional, useless, very poor, very weak and very woke England National Football Team. Graham “Turnip” Taylor was one of the worst Managers of the England National Football Team who was totally unqualified for the job as Manager of the England National Football Team. To be very clearly honest, Graham “Turnip” Taylor should have never been the Manager of the England National Football Team. Graham “Turnip” Taylor is not the England Manager legend. Graham “Turnip” Taylor is going on my list of Top 5 Worst Managers of the England National Football Team. To be also honest, the England fans would not be chanting “Turnip Taylor” if Graham Taylor was never the Manager of the England National Football Team.
Great upload.
Remember this well.
16 years old at the time.
How I'd love to go back.
I was 12
I'll never forget the headline: "Yanks 2, Planks 0"
It was right up there with "Swedes 2 Turnips 1"

Agreed. A thoroughly decent man and good club manager. I do think he was let down by some of his senior players too.
@@adamw2911 You realise that Lineker said at Euro 92 they simply did not have the quality of manpower available?

@@jamiebanner3000 a bit ..Palmer, Sinton..they should never been in the national squad..

This was one of the games that helped boost football in America during the 90s

Great work, you have posted up quite a few classic matches 👏🏼
I was a bit too young to remember this era, with Euro 96 being my first proper tournament
I'm not too sad to have missed it!
Have you got any The Match Episodes from 1991/92?
Sorry - I havent

The supporters should always get behind the team and the manager
I've always wanted to see this but I never got round to it. It's hard to watch because Carlton Palmer is so freaking creepy!!!
England's pregame discussion is so dismissive of the US..... you'd think Michigan was about to play some nobody like Appalachian State.
Matthew Lorenzo was a fish out of water…
I liked it where he called Jim Rosenthal "mate". Funny.
The Old Colonists coming to America
Anglo-American Derby

When tv music scores were mint
I never ever understood why on earth we played this game before the Dutch game? We was always onto a loser regardless
Watch the Dutch game, the ref was so bent. The ref's bias cost him his job and he never refereed an international again.
Legendary England shitness
Bji
Pallister was head and shoulders England's best player.

Chris Woods was garbage, how on earth did he win so many caps?

I've never forgotten Alexi Lalas 🤙 1:42:25
I recall thinking at the time, it's a summer friendly. So what? That said, England were shit.
Still have yet to defeat us in competitive matches.
Arguably the weakest England team in history.

Really? "Woke"? First of all, no. Second of all, this was 1993, that word didn't even exist yet, at least in that context.
Clough is worse than I remember
14.40 Taylor is a turnip! Taylor is a turnip! Haha
