Poland 0-0 England (1989) WCQ

England gain the point they need to qualify for the 1990 World Cup with a 0-0 draw away to Poland in October 1989. The Poles dominate much of the game, particularly in the first half, with veteran goalkeeper Peter Shilton frequently called into action. In the dying seconds England have a lucky escape when Poland strike the bar - subsequent results involving other teams mean England would have missed out on qualifying had they lost (they end up going through as one of the best second place teams). Includes brief analysis by Bobby Charlton and Jimmy Hill with Des Lynam, with England's performance coming in for a fair amount of criticism.

Huge sliding doors moment with that last minute crossbar missile. No Italia '90, no Gazza's Tears, possibly no Premier League??

*Truer words than spoken!* I *do* wonder what more significance would have unfolded for English football if had lost to either Belgium or Cameroon in Italy, though.

I just want to thank chest rain for his consistent uploads of all games England. I wasn't old enough to experience these games but with your database I can relive all the best of England's international history. Cheers!

zemsta Shiltona za Wembley. najlepszy mecz Polski z Anglią jeśli nie liczyć 2:0 w 1973. ale zdaje się że nawet wtedy tak ich nie przycisnęliśmy. i jeszcze tą poprzeczka w 90 minucie...
