Interesting to note that England’s two standout players in Italia 90 - David Platt an Paul Gascoigne - hardly featured in the qualifying games.

what a great squad they had 88-90 - linekar, gascoigne, waddle, beardsley, barnes, platt, rocastle, webb, parker, ince, shilton, pearce, robson, butcher, cottee...
That was a good team. Gazza was on fire, Lineker was on fire, Platt and Waddle played amazing.... Italy and Brazil also had excellent teams but the most boring, defensive Argentine squad eliminated both and we witnessed the most boring World Cup Final ever played. Neither teams, Germany or Argentina recorded even one single shot on goal in the final. Cameroon and Roger Milla were the stars of the tournament.
Such an unlucky player not to have made the 1990 squad and never recovered according to Paul Parker from that exclusion..He was also unlucky in life..RIP fella..
None of us Arsenal fans who are old enough to have seen him play week in week out will ever forget how good he was. I was gutted when he left and devastated when he died. RIP ROCKY you will never be forgotten.
@@gavst79 His performances on the right of midfield in the late 1980s for the national team were excellent often as a sub, he gave balance and skill down that side and overlapped very well with Gary Stevens...How he lost his place to Neil Webb was a questionable decision in that 1990 squad, but it was unusually strong and Bobby had to make a choice..
You often hear Shilton talked about as one of the great keepers but see little of him, these highlights show how good he was, save after save! 6 clean sheets.
Yes he didn't concede a goal in this qualifying campaign, a very rare occurrence, and England struggled to replace him. I think Pickford is the best since Shilton retired.
Never got near to any of those German 🇩🇪 penalties in the Semi . Sorry he was way passed his best by then. Woods should have been in Goal. Too much loyalty shown by Robson
Yeah he was by 1990 he had past his best. Sorry but he never got near any of those German penalties. He was 40 ffs. Of course we will never know , but I keep thinking what if Chris Woods would have been between the sticks .
John barnes aswell. As a kid it was waddle who I first saw dribble but it was roberto Baggio who eclipsed him for me. I miss the good old wingers dribblers u hardly see that anymore it's play from the back
When England used to go forward and try to score goals and win the game, instead of passing back and sideways and putting all the English fans to sleep.
This would be a new look England squad after Kenny Samson, Viv Anderson, Glenn Hoddle, Dave Watson were omitted after Euro 88...Glenn Hoddle the most surprising omission given his talent, I still thought he could have gone to Italia 90
If Tarasiewicz's last minute shot in England's final qualifier had gone in instead of hitting the bar = no Italia 90 for England, no Gazzamania and the English public falling back in love with football, and maybe no Premier League being established on the buzz of the sport being rehabilitated following the grimness of Heysel, Hillsborough and Bradford in the 1980s. The story of English football could have been very different.
It wasn’t quite as simple as the top two qualified. In the 6 qualifying groups, the four best second place teams also qualified. England scraped in as one of those, but had the last minute polish shot dipped under the crossbar instead of onto it, we would not have qualified as one of the best second placed teams
Correct, sir. So there would have been no Italia 90. No Gazza tears. Platt doesn't score that goal. No penalty shootout heartbreak. Bobby Robson would almost certainly have been sacked following on from the poor Euro 88 showing. That crossbar sure played a part in a number of people's lives.
@@PeterFlynn-bp5fi lucky you! First WC I remember but only from tv. Brazil should have won it, England were good enough and should have reached the semi’s at least. Just another in the long line of weird managerial decisions wher Greenwood decides to play Graham Rix instead of Hoddle. As a spurs & England I feel the football gods hate me
@@jameshunter7303 Not a Tottenham fan but he was very much by footballing hero growing up. That chipped goal against Watford is still my favourite goal of all time. Just pure genius.
John Barnes was very inconsistent for England he’d have a couple of good games and then ghost for months, Terrible for England after Italia 90 and Graham Taylor still played him when they was better options.
@@ShahPhilLeotardo wasn't all down to Barnes, England tactics made creative players suffer in those days and prior in the 70s, Hoddle was the same....England should have been built around Hoddle and Barnes , just like how they tried to build the team around Gazza
I'd imagine for the player who appears to be in an offside position, and is doing absolutely nothing on the shot...who in today's game would "likely" be deemed not interfering.
15:00 this must have been few years before the rule change as the keeper stopped an clear goal scoring chance for Linekar and should have been sent off
Peter Shilton was massively overrated, he was too small to be classed as a great, he only won that many caps as back then there was nobody else to pick, he was so small he couldn't save penalties which is fact, that cost us in the WC90 semi when Robson should've brought on Dave Beasant
@@seancollins7134 Indeed - and interestingly those who claim Peter Shilton was too small (he was 6ft, the the average size of 'keepers in his era), Ray Clemence was actually shorter than Shilton. Whilst I was also a fan of Ray Clemence, we saw how he struggled for a while when he first joined Tottenham Hotspur and became more exposed after the years he'd enjoyed being protected by fine Liverpool defences.
8;35 when he says Beardsley replaced Barnes for reasons well known , was that due to Hillsborough tragedy which happened week and half before this game?

Sweden won the group and deservedly so. It was a surprise to me that they underperformed massively at Italia 90. Made up for it 4 years later, mind. Also at Euro 92.

Le Tissier and Seaman should've been in that squad
They were that great in 88 they lost all three group games and crashed out of the Euros. 🙄
...Bull!
England haven’t had a great squad since the sixties mate.
@@brosephyolonarovichstalin2915 I wouldn't even say 1966 was 'great' apart from a handful.
This England team would blow today's England team away....glad I grew up with this squad
Then they failed to qualify for the 92 euros and 94 World Cup. Absolutely useless
@@guitarreilly Alan Shearer played at Euro 92. But yeh it wasn't great. Sweden dumped them out.
😂😂😂
They got to the 92 euros@@guitarreilly

The last England squad I ever rated...If only Bobby had worked with a 4-2-3-1 system he could have unleashed their talents more..
@@kailashpatel1706 no
I'd forgotten how good Dave Rocastle was. 😢
Such an unlucky player not to have made the 1990 squad and never recovered according to Paul Parker from that exclusion..He was also unlucky in life..RIP fella..
Really?
Great Player but injuries derailed his career.

He was nearly 40yr old during Englands World Cup qualifying campaign

Head and shoulders the best keeper we have ever had

If your level your onside
Ahh the good old days
waddle really was a delight on the eye. Watching England here, streets ahead of Southgate's era, there's drive and purpose.
John barnes aswell. As a kid it was waddle who I first saw dribble but it was roberto Baggio who eclipsed him for me. I miss the good old wingers dribblers u hardly see that anymore it's play from the back

2022 World Cup. 6-2, 3-0, 3-0. Southgate’s teams attack as much as anyone.
@@MrChiddler yeah who against?
@@paulvenis2676not relevant. They still go forward and attack

A great England kit but the Italia 90 World Cup kit was even better!
The Italia 90 England kit was one of my faves and this is coming from a Scot. The Scotland kit was a peach too. Umbro could do no wrong at that time.
David rocastle, what a talent,
Plus the usual outragous gang of waddle barnes beardsley
Beautiful football going forward

That have happend in qualification to WC 94...Yeah, The Premier League was established on 1992 but still have players and play boring right now😊
If my auntie had balls she would be my uncle.
what a pity
No Gary Lineker annoying us with his Walkers Crisps Adverts.
So much of football is decided by minute factors.

England did far better than Sweden in Italy, actually.
A Inglaterra terminou em 4 lugar na copa 90
Sweden were a disaster, losing all their group games to Brazil, Scotland and Costa Rica
@@wiltswonder That was a big surprise, Sweden I remember were tipped to go far in the World Cup!
How good was Barnes and Waddle
John Barnes was very inconsistent for England he’d have a couple of good games and then ghost for months, Terrible for England after Italia 90 and Graham Taylor still played him when they was better options.
@@ShahPhilLeotardo wasn't all down to Barnes, England tactics made creative players suffer in those days and prior in the 70s, Hoddle was the same....England should have been built around Hoddle and Barnes , just like how they tried to build the team around Gazza
@13:27 it is like Gazza has the ball attached to his laces. Such close control.
Fans used to love the fast tempo of English football. Now it’s so dull. Hopefully we can bring it back somehow.
Keep watching that Albanian disallowed goal back, still no idea why the Lino flagged it.
I'd imagine for the player who appears to be in an offside position, and is doing absolutely nothing on the shot...who in today's game would "likely" be deemed not interfering.

Disallowing Albanias goal at Wembley...lol
O paul gascoine levou o cartão amarelo na semifinal da copa 90 e não disputou o terceiro lugar contra a Itália.
Waddle's hair was an abomination

Your drunk mate .. he was class , athletic so his size wasn’t an issue .. Clemence was his back up for years that tells you something .

Why wasn't the Polish goalkeeper sent off for committing a professional foul on Lineker?
FIFA only instructed refs to give red cards for professional fouls from 1990 season onwards
Linekar bottled it he should of scored
Pre Blair ❤
Beardsley was special
Rocastle underrated
Couldn't they find a new shirt for Terry Butcher in that Sweden away match??!
8;35 when he says Beardsley replaced Barnes for reasons well known , was that due to Hillsborough tragedy which happened week and half before this game?
Yes it was.
@@alanw8571 Beardsley also was with Liverpool at the time, maybe affected Barnes much more
Great kit as well
Shilton mvp
Webb was a baller
Lineker jogou a copa 90??????
He did. Played very well too.
England v Sweden October 1988 the first match I ever went to. Bobby Robson was booed off at the end of the game.
21:03 Looks like some 90s ISS / Sensible Soccer shit - Stewens, Mc Mahon, Rocastl.
Conclusions being drawn from these old matches: Shilton was better than you remember; Lineker was worse. I say this as a leftie woke liberal. 🤷🏻♂️
My Country is out against spain-come on England 🏴 !
Iconic British commentators in 80’s/90’ - Motson, Davies, Brian Moore
England was not that good in qualifiers. They owed a lot to Peter Shilton in those games.
Shilton had some spring, even at his age.
You forget how good Waddle was, and Trevor Steven in the middle of the park.
The game away against Sweden butcher looked like he had been to the butchers. Madness
20:46 Butcher sure was butchered... thankfully u didnt show how he got this way
Was it a mad Swede with a knife?
@@09weenic A kick in the head I believe.
Still kept heading the ball throughout the match with all that blood from the early injury. Cant have helped the bleeding.
@@gm2407 Wouldn't have been allowed now!
Poland vs England is amazing
10:39 Why was Albanien goal against England disallowed by reeferee?
Back then, if your teammate was offside then the goal was ruled out. Even if he wasn't involved in the play or obstructing the goalkeepers view.
My God those shorts were tight.
The 80’s players wore Budgie Smugglers
any VAR?
England forever ..go Lions Go....👍👍

A team of quite modest talents.

yeah. I believe they gave Scotland their only win of the 90 tournament, talk about bombing out!
Shilton was always the weak link.
Kept 6 clean sheets in a row... 0 goals let in
Kept Clemence out, that says something!
What a strange comment. You could count the mistakes he made in this qualifying campaign on the fingers of a man with no hands.
