I can't argue with that, because I don't remember it. And I am older than anyone now playing for England. Corollary: none of them can remember it either. Therefore it can hardly be affecting them.

Of course - the rules of the competition preclude a draw, at least after a replay. But will the result affect Manchester United or Arsenal's performance or prospects in 2033? Of course not. Yet that is what you are suggesting of the Centenary Test. Like I said above, you've lost me.
