Good day. Thank you so much for the video. Bravo! Enjoyed and liked of course. Greetings from Baku city

one of the worst world cup brackets / elimination parameters ever

These are classical matches we ever seen our lives. Great football lover, great.

England were wearing a different version of the red shirt from the one they wore against France. Here the stripe is under the V-neck and it's a thick white one with a thinner blue one going through the middle of it. Against France, they had a white stripe above a blue stripe, running either side of the V-neck.

[@thewomble1509]

Didn't they have to rush out a thinner version of the home and away shirts because the original ones were trapping sweat? That World Cup was played in sweltering temperatures and the players were losing pounds in fluid after every game.

[@MatthewOkot]

​@@thewomble1509 That's right. Argentina had the same issue in 1986. The blue shirt they wore against Uruguay was different from the blue shirt they wore against England.

[@thewomble1509]

@@MatthewOkot I thought so. Cheers man.

[@amina-pr8xt]

So?

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

​@@thewomble1509there was a great documentary on ITV a few years ago about Admiral, the kit maker. I think you are correct regarding issues with the shirt. I recall a woman saying that she had very little time in sewing on the badges. Whether it was the line up on tele or a photo, you can see a few badges not in the same places, and a bit wonky.

[@valentinospagnuolo6998]

As Italian i have to admit England and Brazil were the strongest teams in 1982 world Cup and probably this would have been the right final but football Is strange and not Always the best wins

[@luperamos7307]

Why England? Germany had the best chance of the match at the end and they also beat Spain. England had the luxury of playing Spain after the Germans had already played all their games and therefore knew what score they needed. I didn't see anything offensively from England that was impressive.

@@luperamos7307 bro please that's fifa's dumb rules f having two group stages and they kicked england just because they couldnt score during these matches. watch te game between france and england in the first group stage and you'll see how england is organized

[@luperamos7307]

@@ahmedabughalia4957 That was England's best game. But in the second group stage they couldn't score. So they didn't deserve to go through. Germany was clearly the best team in that group. And people consider the 1982 World Cup to be among the best of all time. So the two group stages worked

Most people can't forgive Schumacher for the kung fu on Batiston, I can't forgive him that save from Robson, lol. England would be playing France again in the semis, then Italy in the final, may have gone all the way...

[@namelesswhocares8648]

Just saw the game, germany's attack was shit. England should have won

[@rolandzarka5191]

Not sure that England would have beaten France again. The French had started badly but gradually increased in power, like the Germans or Italians..

[@That_Random_Bloke]

@@rolandzarka5191 We’d have had a decent chance. We beat them 3-1 in our opening match. But as you say, they started poorly.

[@namelesswhocares8648]

Just saw the full game. How england did not beat germany is beyond me

[@nicholasweaver7809]

Typical case of negative management. When they played Spain it was win or go home and Greenwood left the changes until way to late .fast forward nearly 40 years on and southgate is following the same pattern except Southgate is spoilt for choice with gifted players where as greenwood and any other |England manager prior was not

[@luperamos7307]

Germany were the European champions and had the best chance of the match. England had previously missed 2 World Cups. Not sure why you would have expected England to win.

[@namelesswhocares8648]

@@luperamos7307 Bryan robson was on fire during that game. Yes, the german had a good chance but they were dominated throughout. I would have loved to see a rematch between platini's france and england in the semi instead of that infamous france germany with that dumb dutch referee

[@luperamos7307]

@@namelesswhocares8648 That game turned out to be one of the best matches of all time. Some people even say the best. England didn't have the same quality as Germany. Germany's best player played injured in this World Cup and was only brought on late vs France and taken off early vs Italy. Germany beat England at Wembley a few months later 2-1 after being 2-0 up with Rummenigge scoring both goals. German had an insane team from 1966 to 1990 and they made three consecutive World Cup finals from '82 to '90. The argument that England were better was certainly not demonstrated at any time. It was a team designed to avoid defeat that couldnt score goals when they needed to. Germany also had the best keeper in the world and Italy had a very easy semi compared to the German semi in Seville. With a fit Rummenigge And not having to come back from 3-1 down vs France who knows what would have happened. But they were freaking strong.

[@namelesswhocares8648]

@@luperamos7307 Yes the german had a good team, but speaking of injured players, how about kevin keegan and trevor brookings if they were healthy?. Wc 82 was mired in controversy for the germans. From losing to algeria to that shameful match against the austrians ( where germans burned their own flags) and finally, if that dutch referee had any sense. It should have been a red card and a penalty for the french. I guess that dutch referee was still pissed at france kicking the dutch out of the world cup during the qualifiers

[@CharlieVane21]

The German keeper made all the difference. Small margins at this level.

[@hamala7437]

eng 82 been the best ever squad regrouped together, watch them through and yallll get the idea !!! where can the full math be found !!!?

[@IztokGolob-Naklo]

The most idiotic system ever. Groups of three? England went out of the tournament despite not loosing a game.

[@lokismig]

This system was debatable. But England were unable to score a single goal in all the second phase! By the way, the next World Cup in 2026 will have the same system: groups of 3 teams in the entire first phase.

I hate 2nd group stages,it went and created 2 groups of death in this tournament. England top their group and get germany and spain, france come 2nd and get n ireland and austria, and then we end up with brazil italy and argentina in same group, barmy system!.

England was given the luxury of playing the last game and therefore knowing the score. But that team just couldn't score. If you can't score then don't blame others. The Germans scored twice against Spain and the crossbar saved England here.
