I still can't believe Ian Wright was left out of England squad for this Euros he finished 91/92 season top scorer with arsenal in the league...Anders Limpar even said before the tournament Graham Taylor would regret not taking Wright

[@SnakePliskin762]

He was woeful intentionally

[@ohiamswd]

Sorry but if you want to show highlights make sure we get to see the goal itself & the buildup to it, not all of the sudden players celebration as we missed the actual goals & just slow motions to it on reply

Rasunda Stadium in Stockholm Sweden 🇸🇪 where Brazil 🇧🇷 was World Champion in 1958

[@bjornsjoblad2200]

Correct Råsunda doesnt exist longer. The arena was teared down some years ago when our new National stadion Friends Arena were built close to where Råsunda was situated- Both arenas in a part of Stockholm called Solna.

I love this swedish team. With Brolin in shape.

[@martinlindhardt8410]

extremely overrated Swedish team - and Brolin is probably the most overrated player in the history of football. The Swedes got incredibly lucky.

[@skedvi99]

@@martinlindhardt8410 sweden always beat England in the 90:s. Brolin was very good before he got injured 1995.

[@Dead-Ball-Situation]

Neil Webb was actually a very under rated midfielder. It's a shame he only got to play in an England side that was devoid of its usual talent. No Gazza, no Beardsley. Barnes and Waddle missing. He was kind of sacrificed after this tournament and never played again for some reason.

[@eos2174]

I bet you cannot find someone looking more English than David Platt!

[@bas6628]

I REMEMBER THIS GAME....... THOMAS BROOOOOLEEEN..... MARTIN DAAALEEEN......WOW didn't Sweden do well two years later at USA 94

[@kebabtank]

Fucking Toney Daley, you can't miss chances like that at this level. I do wonder the reception for Graham Taylor if we had made it to the semi-finals, which we really should have done with a group like that.

[@Ryanj82]

We were unlucky in this era! Shame as David Platt was an awesome player, deserved more

[@andrewsmith177]

David Platt was indeed awesome, but we (England) were pretty rubbish post-1990 until Euro 96.

[@jackmurphy6864]

Not really lol. England played awful football.

[@jonblazeinc]

I do wonder if Gazza and Barnes were fit for Euros if they would have made a difference, Barnes very unlucky damaging his cruciate ligaments days before Euro 92 in England final friendly before flying to Sweden

[@prinzdodo]

Tony Daley was once a promising winger.

[@RundUmDenSVNiederwerth]

1-0 David Platt (4 min) 1-1 Jan Eriksson (51 min) 1-2 Tomas Brolin (82 min)

[@AldellezCaputto70]

I remember that when Sweden played their first match in the tournament, I watched the match on Eurosport. An old (antique) English commentator rallied about how bad Sweden was and that they really should not be allowed to play in the European Masterships. When Sweden scored the first goal against France, he became significantly quieter. :-) He was only allowed to comment on that match, he was fired!

[@jackmurphy6864]

Typical English arrogance. Not many of that England team would get into that Swedish team.

[@sefaozlemyener5227]

I still think the important players who rallied Sweden to WC94 third place are Kenneth Andersson (i watched him in his mid 30s in Turkey, he was a real prof), Patrik Andersson, Joachim Björklund, Henrik Larsson and Jonas Thern. Martin Dahlin and Tomas Brolin are only more than average and luckier, Schwarz was a real arrogant dirty player. I feel really sorry for Ingesson, his fate didn't fare better. Still think the best 3 Swedish footballers of the last 50 years are undoubtedly Ibrahimovic, Ljungberg and Henrik Larsson. This 3 deserved better World Cup experiences.

[@jackmurphy6864]

@@sefaozlemyener5227 I think Thern was better than those 3, just without the modern hype. He was playing in Serie A at the time there was only 3 foreigners, so you had to be really good to play in Italy then lol. Brolin was better than lucky, but vanished after that awful injury. Dahlin looked like he'd be a huge star at one point but, as you said, never really reached those heights. My best Swedish team over the last 30 years: Isaksson R Nilsson - P Andersson - Granqvist - Augustinsson Ljungberg - Thern - Kallstrom H Larsson K Andersson - Ibrahimovic S: Ravelli - Bjorklund - Mellberg - Schwarz - A Svensson - Forsberg - Brolin

[@AldellezCaputto70]

@@jackmurphy6864 I think he showed great ignorance. Just becouse Sweden failed in WC 90 it doesnt mean that Sweden was bad. The Diffrence between success and failure in the Biggest sport in the World is very small. Injuries, form, tactics and luck can be the Diffrence between success and failure. Portugal and France didnt even qualify for WC 90, how bad were they? Denmark won Euro 92, and they were invited as subs for Jugoslavia. That just shows how competitive Football is. Maybe he was stuck in time somewhere around the Childhood of the World Championships. When the differences between national teams were large and matches often ended 10-1 and 7-0 so on.

[@AldellezCaputto70]

@@jackmurphy6864 I think Brolin was the Biggest swedish talent of that era. He was the Best Swedish player in WC 90, Euro 92 and WC 94. That cant just be luck. Injuries and stupid english coaches put an end to his success. Unfortunately for Sweden. "Wonderful is short" as a Swedish song says.

[@cimiez1]

Descança em paz klas ingesson que nós deixasse em 2014.

[@exk888]

Lineker last intl match

[@jonblazeinc]

@Dan Whitehorse you need to look it up again.....this game was in fact Linekars final ever appearance in an England shirt, that's why there was a big hoo har over Taylor subbing him off because he would never get the chance to equal or score more than Bobby Charlton who held the record at the time Lineker was 1 goal behind

[@user-zi3rj1ur9x]

リネカー最後の代表戦。

[@mattop4635]

Johnny Ekstrom was there

[@ZoranKaraklajic-ws8nm]

Yugoslavia was the best 1992.

[@onlyweatherlol93]

Absolutely rubbish from England, especially Daley... so overrated by Villa fans. Woeful end product!
