International XI
England 1990
86 attack · 86 defence
Bobby Robson·4-4-2
87OVR
Robson's 1990 England. Gascoigne bursting through Italy, Lineker still finishing, and a penalty-shootout night in Turin that the country never quite put down.
What they actually did that year: FIFA World Cup semi-finalists — Turin. Also on the list: Gazza's tears, Lineker's goals.
People open this squad and immediately queue West Germany 1990. That pairing is a rivalry in the catalogue, not a historical fixture unless the years actually met.
Same club, other years in the database: 2026, 2021, 2018, 2004, 1996, 1966.

Not a vibe — ratings
They will ask a question at set pieces (aerial 80). Midfield 88 is where this side actually lives. Possession sits at 52, not a religion.
