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 .

[@FFM115]

Careca was a great player, amazing skills and intelligence.

@Scott Martin Not quite. Hes pretty well remembered in Italy for his duo with Maradona in Napoli.

[@alostoraalostora9490]

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.

@Ra HoWa population is a weak excuse. Croatias population is 4 million, so you probably should shut up about it.

[@fraz6354]

@Ra HoWa I dont know mate google it, they haven't been an independent country that long so they probably haven't played a lot. But it shows that you can only take population into account so much. Look at Chinas massive population and they rarely qualify from the weakest continent.

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.

[@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.

The third win for England against Brazil, surely all in friendlies, and requiring goalkeeping skills from their field players :)

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...

[@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]
