END OF SOCCER SEASON ....

A TIME TO REFLECT ON SUCCESSES, DISAPPOINTMENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

By I. M. MacTAVISH

The fact that the football season in the United Kingdom and that in Hongkong finish at almost the same time makes it easy for us to com- pare notes and to reflect on the successes, the disappointments, the achieve- ments and of course the lapses.

After England's fine win over Brazil there was a fleeting burst of elation, but the more sober thinkers curbed their passing enthusiasm and eventually gave it as their opinion that England's victory was due, not so much to a superiority of their hard hitting methods over the intricate ball play of the visitors, but to the brilliant ball manipulations of veteran, 41- year-old, Stanley Matthews.
