Shilton was way past his best by 1990. When you look at that shootout again, he doesn’t move very well at all. That being said, I don’t think any of the West Germany penalties were savable. 
 

But some of the revisionism about Shilton being overrated in his prime is daft. He might be a Brexit knobhead but he was outstanding for most of his career. 

 

I have read plenty of Forest fans in the past say that Shilton through his whole career was shite at pensand they hardly remember him saving one. All through his career he waited till the penalty was struck hoping to dive the right way

 

 

To be fair to him he got higher off the ground when out jumped by Maradona than he did when he got lobbed about two yards off his line against Germany 4 years later

Disagree, I remember the competition and the game very well. England started the competition poorly but they were getting better with every game. The game against Argentina was very even and then they went two up, England came back strongly and pulled one back,  Barnes transformed the game and was tearing them apart, Argentina were clinging on for dear life and the whistle couldn’t come quickly enough for them. Don’t let your hatred of England let you rewrite history.

Watch the game in full if you ever get a chance. Argentina were a mile better than England. Barnes cames on late and created a goal and almost created another but that was it for England.

Argentina dominated the game and Terry Fenwick (Terry fucking Fenwick played with England in a World Cup quarter final) should have been sent off about 4 times - even allowing for 80s style assaults.
