England 1-0 Brazil (1990)

England claim only their third win over Brazil in March 1990, thanks to a goal by Gary Lineker and a key refereeing decision going in their favour in the second half to deny the Brazilians an equaliser.

[@Gills-ce9ds]

This was the 1st England game I went to, remember my dad picking me up early from school for the trip to Wembley on s Wednesday night.

[@Eneus1]

Have to admit that I used to dislike English international team until 1990... One of the raesons was that I was a fan of Maradona and Argentina. After England defeated Cameroon in 1/4 I even began to hate Robson's squad... but then I saw the 1/2 against W.Germany, who was my second favorite in this WC. This game changed me... english players were heroes in this difficult game, even they lost after dramatic penalty shootout. Really respect this team of Bobby Robson now.

[@jamescorlett5272]

It was 1 - 1 vs the German's ya daft apeth Blimey talk about missing penalties .

On the contrary, he was a normal player .

[@Eneus1]

There are a lot of clowns who say that Maradona never had another stars around him in Napoli. Napoli was full of great players, and one of them was Careca. Also Alemao was one of my favorites.

[@andersonarmstrong2650]

Branco's free kick technique was fantastic,no player now has the nerve to full-on strike a dead ball with everything given a 20yd run up.I used to do it, twisted my ankle badly but persisted till I had it.Not shown in this match was the breathtaking first minute Brazil passing movement.

Love how the ref got his red card out, as if it was a gun holding off attackers. He never even sent anyone off, but he was swinging it around like Clint Eastwood.

[@johnmorell7020]

Should have used it. The player immediately realised his mistake, and started defending the referee from the others' protests, which probably saved him.

[@georgesoares9580]

Este time da inglaterra era bom. Muito competitivo. Só parou para a Alemanha, nas semi-finais da copa de 90. Se não me engano nas oitavas fez um jogo espetacular contra a Belgica. Cheguei uma vez à comentar com um belga que foi uma das melhores partidas que eu assisti. Uma bonita batalha.

[@Stinkinini]

Oh yes? Where did Brazil end up in the World Cup 1990 a few months later? And where did England end up? Brazil deserved to have beaten Argentina quite clearly in the 1/8 Final, so they can't have been that bad. England reached the 1/2 Final, so they can't have been bad either. For the record, Brazil 1974 was worse, and Brazil 1966 also. Incidentally, Brazil 2006 was very good on paper, but their performances were hardly better than 1990.

With people saying this was the worst brazilian team in world cup history is false..they came out of the group stages in 1990 with 3 wins total points..only Italy and Brazil got total points in that first round..and in the Round 16 they outplayed Argentina and should of won in Turin..it was just a touch.of genius by.Maradona/Canigga which.killed Brazil...they could of easily made the Semi Final im Naples to.play Italy in 1990

[@c3-po279]

+dario datri In terms of quality of the players, yes, it was our worst team ever. Mostly because of stupidity of the coach, that left so many wonderful players out. The team that served as basis to Brasil 90s squad was Vasco da Gama, which is the team i support. We couldve been champions easily, but in 94 the title didnt escape

[@freedomfighters9188]

With all due respect to Brazil I believe they had a good team in 1990 but Italy was by far a team above the rest including West Germany we just got unlucky against Maradona in Naples on penalties..we where far superior against them.leading into penalties.

I don't remember the world champion, where the Brazilian soccer national team potentially could not become the world soccer champion, which is why they became the world soccer champion many times, and in this game the Brazilian national team clearly dominated and the referees should had to count the goal against England...The England team also had great football teams in the 80s, 90s and after, just was a little unlucky, first an unfair referee decision in the game against Argentina team, when the referee defended Maradona's " God's hand goal scored in the England goal, other times lose game in the penalty series, after the main and extra halves...

[@meisterlymanu5214]

Today, pearce would have been sent off, penalty would have made it 1-1. Extra man would have killed England, 3-1 Brazil, and Robson would have been under pressure. Then Pearce maybe not selected for W Cup and England would have won it because the clown missed his penalty in the SF. This ref fkd everything up that night. btw, Brazil were far better in this one.

A clear handball by Pearce, and the ball probably crossed the line, which means that the score should have been 1-1, with Pearce sent off. The Brazilian number 5 should have been sent off for assailing the referee. After that it was almost one-way traffic; England don't like to cheat.
