It's basically only a step up from a friendly and the kind of game you give non-first choice players a run-out in, as opposed to them playing in games that mattered? This was around about the time that some of Bobby Robson's players were coming to the end of their careers and Graham Taylor was looking to replace the likes on Beardsley, Lineker, Bryan Robson, Woods and others and so looking at and to the likes of Clough, Merson, Platt, Sinton, Shearer and Ian Wright as possibles to take over. That said, there wasn't much wrong with any of those names you mentioned anyway, albeit that they were not world beaters all the same: Sinton and Barrett were reliable and decent pros, if nothing special, England historically always had several decent keepers prior to the influx of foreign keepers so giving Flowers a start, and Sharpe as a youngster looked every bit as promising as Giggs and Beckham if Ferguson had handled him better and more like he did with Giggs.
@@goldenboy06 Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira preferred Romario as his central attacker for USA '94 with Bebeto as his partner. Brazil's ultimate victory obviously vindicated this choice. From 1986-1990 Careca was one of the world's most lethal and talented forwards, but by '94 that critical half-yard of pace had gone and Parreira rightly decided younger talent in attack was needed to succeed.
How this Brazil team won the World Cup the following year is beyond me. Worst world cup I have seen . My First World Cup was 1982. Brazil were sensational then!
Baz D Well they had Romario and Bebeto up front - that's still better than pretty much everyone else. They also had the likes of Leonardo, even though he got suspended after an elbow in '94. They weren't as exciting as '82, but in '82 they were knocked out by winners Italy. Just shows you need a balanced team , not just the best attacking one.
Typical England. Their only result from this tournement was against the eventual winners of the actual tournement which they didn't even qualify for anyway.
If it wasn't for David Platt back then, God only knows how much worse England would have been!! I still to this day can't belive the likes of Palmer, Batty, Sinton and Dorigo won as many caps as they did.
It's almost like watching an alternate universe where England qualified for USA 94 😆
Haha😂
I was at this game at RFK Stadium whilst on holiday in the US. I forgot how good the game was.
Earl Barret, Andy Sinton, Carlton Palmer. How on earth did England not win the world cup?
@Steve Ruddick Oh right Steve, I forgot, schoolboy error.
What a awful England team they were
A question which isn't as obvious as many think or 'Turnips' fault tbf. They act like England were the best in the world! Hardly "awful" either!! 🤔
@@zerocool9182 = Why? Just because they didn't win! Zero cool indeed!! 👎
Ganhou?nem se classificou rs!mesmo se jogasse a Copa,perderia.
Pallister tackle was like Bobby Moore in 1970
Time ??
errr.......no. no comparison and im Irish hahahaha
05:31 RIP Toys R US
Earl Barrett. Good lord.
He was usually about third or fourth choice. The two main options were Lee Dixon and Rob Jones, but they both kept getting injured.
I remember rushing back from the park to see this and feeling disappointed because Branco wasn’t playing.
US Cup 1993:
Brazil 2 - 0 USA
Brazil 3 - 3 Germany
Brazil 1 - 1 England
I LOVE BRAZIL
"How about that" from Platt..🔥
1-0 David Platt (47 min)
1-1 Marcio Santos (76 min)
CAN WE NOT KNOCK IT???
Wrong match !
Fkng hells bells!!! Priceless documentary. Was v Norway though I think.
DO I NOT LIKE THAT!!!
_We're all over the fuckin' shop then aren't we, keeper, the lot._
CARLTON!!
I was there!
David platt= best player
Cafu playing on the left
Tim Flowers was a top goalkeeper
should have been first choice. better than seaman.
@@daveratcliffe1016 He had a stint between the sticks for England in 1995 and made a series of blunders that confirmed Seaman as first choice.
@@altguitardemos6608 good point
Sinton, Sharpe, Flowers, Barrett dear oh dear

@@seanscanlon9067 Sinton was terrible, I've never seen a winger attempt to beat a man and fail so many times.
@@fraz6354 Yeah terrible goal.

Almost as terrible as this one too.

Why would that England team be without David Platt?
Great games
Pity Careca didn’t play in 94
The mighty Careca's last flourish but even aged 32/33 he was still a real handful for the English defence.
Why didn’t he play in 94? That’s not that old...pity.

@@goldenboy06 careca decided to quit the team during the world cup qualifiers in 93. He thought that he couldn’t play anymore in the highest level
But for David Platt I suspect Taylor's reign would have been roughly two years shorter.

1990 was far worse.
No South Africa 2010 was surely the worse.
Boa foi a de 90,né?você,na verdade,não entende de futebol!a Copa de 94 foi uma das melhores!

england done great in the World Cup in '94.....oh wait hahahahha
Brain Moore's commentary makes a meaningless friendly feel like a big game
I feel for Graham Taylor. We didn't exactly have a plethora of talented players at the time, did we?
England, GrahamTaylor >>>>World Cup 1994🤣🤣🤣....No Chris Waddle....
*94
DAVID TATLER
This is Summer '93. England didn't qualify for world cup '94.

Rai was a Terrible Player honestly
