Ich finde, dass diese EM- Qualifikationsgruppe eine der Kuriosesten überhaupt war. Frankreich als Favorit enttäuschte auf der ganzen Linie. Die DDR gewann auf Island 6:0, UdSSR als Tabellenführer nur 1:1 auf Island, dafür 2:0 Sieg in Paris gegen Frankreich. Unglaubliche Konstellation!

[@olivieru]

J'avais 9 ans en 1986 et j'avais découvert le football lors de la Coupe du Monde de cette année. Je ne sais pas pourquoi, je garde le souvenir, dans ces qualifications, d'une longue nuit qui n'en finit pas. Les matchs à la télé étaient rares à l'époque, chaque match de l'équipe de France était attendu (un à chaque fois, pas deux ou trois en dix jours comme on a déjà aujourd'hui) et c'était triste, désespérant. Les anciens avaient l'impression d'être revenus dans les années 70, ceux de mon âge n'avaient jamais vu l'équipe de France en difficultés. Face aux Islandais amateurs et les deux matchs face aux Norvégiens qui devaient l'être aussi, un terrible sentiment d'impuissance.

Wer weiß warum Michel Platini die ersten Spiele der Qualifikation 1988 absolvierte und dann ausschied? Er versuchte sich dann sofort als Nationalcoach !? Eigentlich ein ungewöhnliches Vorgehen.

[@n.c.37]

Platini stopped his career at the end of the 1986-1987 season, he was tired and injured, and months later, he took the head of France national football team thanks to Claude Bez, the former president of Bordeaux who used his influence to place Platini at the head of the French team
