England to start today
Yes, the dream should start today: England starts today its road to the torphy, against Paraguay.
Past meetings
England 3-0 Paraguay, 18 June 1986, Mexico The two sides have met just once before at the FIFA World Cup, England easing to a 3-0 victory in their Round of 16 encounter at Mexico 1986. Gary Lineker netted twice that day on his way to becoming the tournament’s top scorer with six goals.The question
