Rope-a-dope trick

WAtCHiNG england lose 0-4 to Hungary at home reminded me of Muhammad Ali fighting George Foreman. Hungary let us exhaust ourselves passing sideways and then back to the goalkeeper for most of the game.

We fell for the old rope-a-dope trick. this lack of understanding of the basics of football and the fact we have only two international class footballers cost us the game.

JACK SHARPE, Stroud, Glos. WHO would have thought it: test match cricket infinitely more exciting than an international football match!
