Did you know that a Scotsman, Greenock-born Eddie McIlvenny, captained the USA team for that 1-0 win over England in Brazil 55 years ago?
Or that another Scotsman managed the USA team?
No, of course not, how could you, when Eddie McIlvenny's memory, and that of the team's Scottish manager, has been airbrushed out of the movie.
In the movie depicting that game, "The Game of Their Lives", it is an American footballer who wears the Captain's armband.
So, even if the game is otherwise watchable, I have voted 1 (awful) just as a reaction against that revisionist historical account of that game.
