    Match Report by Mike Payne

    Match Report by Norman Giller

Yet another contrived summer tournament  - The Umbro Cup - kicked off with England taking on Japan for the first time. Once again the Terry Venables luck was in, with most neutral observers considering England greatly flattered by their 2-1 victory.  Darren Anderton and skipper David Platt scored the goals that won the match for England against a Japanese team that played with enormous enthusiasm and well-developed skill. It was only in the air that England were vastly superior, but they were unable to cash in on this advantage. Gary Neville made a sound debut at right-back, while John Scales and David Unsworth played together for the only time at international level.
