England had a good tournament in 1982, winning 3 and drawing 2.They were unlucky to go out after draws against West Germany and Spain due to a bizarre group system.
@andycross98406 жыл бұрын
That bizarre group system mate is returning from 2026 onwards thanks to Mr Infantino, the new Fifa President. In his f**ked up matrix of expanding the World Cup from 32 to 48 teams to allow lesser nations to get a better crack at qualifying for the finals what we'll have from then on is instead of 8 groups of 4 like we have now it will be 16 groups of 3 (so only 2 games for each side just like that 2nd round in Spain 82), from which only the BOTTOM team will be eliminated and then a round of 32 to start the knockout phase. As well as raising more revenue and making himself more popular with the member states, his idea is that it will encourage more open attacking football because if teams know they have only 2 games to get through instead of 3 then they'll buck their ideas up! I'm not convinced. What it will certainly do is place these 'lesser' countries (who aren't good enough to qualify currently!) quite possibly in a group with a 'big' team and therefore they will probably get completely slaughtered 6 or 7!! Yeah, maybe we'll see an increase in the goals tally but what good is that gonna do for the quality of the World Cup going forward? I'd be interested to see anybody's take on it.
@rjjcms15 жыл бұрын
Got off to a flying start with Bryan Robson scoring in the first minute and scoring twice as England beat one of the great France teams 3-1,and put himself on the world stage as an internationally renowned star. Though he was Manchester United's and often England's driving force for years to follow,he had desperate luck with injury at the next two World Cups. Kev and Trev getting ruled out injured until returning looking less than fully match-fit in that frustrating last game against the hosts Spain was a blow,though England won all three of their group games then drew 0-0 with losing finalists West Germany in the first of their two games in that second group phase that decided the four semi-finalists (Poland,France,West Germany and of course Italy after they knocked out both the holders Argentina and the favourites Brazil).

@@andycross9840 I agree. I think they had it just right with 32 teams in 8 groups of 4 at the World Cup and 16 at the Euros,good as it was for Wales and the Irelands and some of the other nations not seen there often to qualify. It's becoming a tricky trade-off with the World Cup because,unlike several decades ago when it was mostly just Europe and Latin America,football is so global now that so many more countries spread around the globe have a credible claim to be there.

What a squad of players!!😮 How on earth didn’t we win that World Cup?! So much quality in that 22 player squad. I was at a speech/dinner with Phil Thompson a couple of years ago & I asked him the question. He said....”without making too many excuses, Trevor Brooking & Kevin Keegan were both injured at the same time, which that didn’t help, it was extremely unlucky” Maybe Thommo has a point? I think if they both remained fit, the trophy would have been back in England, not Italy! It’s all ifs & buts though & Paulo Rossi had a outstanding tournament for the Italians.

@dmoorb8 жыл бұрын
The blue jumper bloke is Steve Foster who played for Brighton and Luton. He had only played a couple of friendlies but was included because I remember England having a bit of a centre-half crisis at the time. One of the reasons was that the man next to Keegan, Dave Watson, was a bit past his best, a bit ponderous and old school. Russell Osman was tried but had a mare in Norway. In the end I seem to remember that they settled on Terry Butcher and Phil Thompson with Alvin Martin as cover.
