Famous battle against Nilton Santos. This friendly was broadcasted all over Europe. Many believe this match made Stan the first Balondor winner in 1956.
England possessed some great players in this team - and this match captured the wonderful skills of Matthews, Haynes and Edwards. The movement and understanding between Haynes and Matthews was a joy to behold. I had the privilege as a boy watching both Haynes and Matthews play at club level, and both had those silky skills that made football exciting and entertaining.
In modern football, the defenders are much more organised and push onto the opposition. You can't pass forward when a defender is in front of you, stopping you doing that.
@@johnmccadden9963 That is where the skillful players come into their own. CR, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe etc are willing to take players on and get past them. Then it's up to the rest of the team to work off the ball to find space. Constantly passing backwards or laterally is the mark of average teams and players or of negative coaches and tactics.
@@johnmccadden9963 Not of that quality I agree but we do have the likes of Gordon & Bowen who will at least run at defenders if given a chance to try. The problem is our defensive set up. 6 players in defensive roles and only 4 in attacking roles and one of them played out of his natural position. That sets the team up to play negatively and limits our forward passing options. When we finally switched (in desperation) to a more attacking formation against Slovakia we scored 2 quick goals. We have the players but our tactics have been wrong.
NO absolutely not a good passer. Didn´t you look at this video??? He misses completely a number of times and other times just showing the ball in to the middle without any thoughts. This guy was great, but plse do not take it too far..
@@glegolo I saw Johnny play - he was a great passer. If you ever played in those days you'd know the ball was soaked and probably weighted 10 ibs, and the heavy boots with long studs clogged with mud almost weighed as much. And the pitch was a soggy farmers field. How those guys gutted it out for ten shillings a week is amazing.
@@glegolo Sorry, but Johnny Haynes was an excellent passer...He was often used to compare other players with the comment that, "So and so passes like Johnny Haynes..."
My dear ole Barking E-London dad played for West Ham in the 50s. ❤️Signed on as a schoolboy. As a boy, he copied all of Matthews’ tricks. He was an outside winger too. What a game Stan the man had here. One of the greats.
As a boy, I used to go to the Chicken Run. I clearly remember seeing Stanley Matthews ( I think he was 42 at the time) playing for Stoke City. Certainly member Johnny Haynes playing for Fulham. What players they were.
Nilton Santos é considerado dos melhores jogadores do Brasil. Foi destaque na Copa do Mundo de 1958 e hoje é nome de estádio no Rio de Janeiro! Era um craque de futebol! Ele e Stanley Matthews fazem parte da História do Futebol!

This would be a good match to see in its entirety. I believe the "Edwards" referred to by the commentator is Duncan Edwards, the young Man U midfielder who lost his life in Munich. I would like to see more film of him, as well as of Finney.
@michaelmelen9062 Yes it's big Duncan. I went to see his grave and statue on Dudley last year. Unfortunately not much footage is available from that era, unlike today when every minute of every match is shown from 44 different angles.
I'm assuming the "Taylor" we see is Tommy Taylor, Man Utd centre forward who also sadly passed away at Munich. Yes people who saw Edwards say he was really special.
That brown leather football soaked by the rain weighed a ton. I was 13 years old when this was played and even younger when I watched Hungary play England live on the television when they beat us 6-2. Ferenc Puskas was playing!
That ball was unheadable when soaked...this ball wasn't even round...they used to take some strange shapes those old balls...maybe that's where the idea for a rugby ball came...
I took the afternoon off school to watch this match on tv. I was 11. Roñnie Clayton, Johnny Haynes and John Atyeo were second division players and Reg Matthrews, the Coventry goalie, was third division south.
Wow! Thanks for that. This was two years before Brazil won the world cup so no Pele. Also I always thought Johnny Haynes was left footed, perhaps because he wore number 10 but he clearly favours his right. I had the privilege of seeing Matthews at Highbury when he was nearly 50! (I'm a spurs supporter but in those days things weren't quite as toxic!)
The difference in the style of the kits is striking. It took the football league at least another 3 years to catch up with trends. Great seeing the goals. I remember seeing Johnny Haynes near the end of his career when Fulham came to Oxford United, a bit slower, naturally, but still delivering pitch perfect passes.
ruclips.net/video/f7E4xU970RI/видео.htmlsi=rD7mjGqifVwIZJPr Full match. Mine was an individual highlight video, which is natural not to show Brazil goals.
Matthews and his one move...that's all he had. But it worked...Some recent players were the same, like Arjen Robben. Even though defenders know this, they know it was coming, they were still powerless.
You can see he was a little bit off it at times...but you can get a sense of his credentials...at 41...this is amazing...he looks the fittest guy in the England team...and can still pass players and run at pace...fantastic. Great to see a bit of Edwards too...legend...both of em...Haynes looked the most influential...great passer and vision...the old Scholes

I noted with interest, the rise in the noise of the crowd everytime Matthews was given the ball. Also interesting to note the footwear. England are still wearing the traditional boots...you can see the white laces..which were basically clogs. The Brazilians are wearing something recogniseable as modern boots...which makes Matthews, Hayne's and the other English performance even more impressive.
"Horses for Courses".....the pitches in Britain were mudbaths up until the 1980's. Slippers like the South Americans wore would have been pulled-off by the quagmires , inside the first half-hour of the game.

I agree with much of the '66 dissection except not playing Greaves and playing Charlton, as you say our best player, as a man marker, would get Southgate unbelievable criticism today. You put so much down to luck because you've probably decided to be swayed by the usual anti-England media agenda. Luck always plays a part in winning any knock out competition. Southgate is now officially, statistically, the best England manager ever. PS. Every team in the English top tier certainly knew about Jimmy Greaves. Could they stop him?

Funny watching England players passing the ball and confident to take the ball anywhere on the pitch - how did the managers and FA get it so ffing wrong after players like this...
That's such a salient pt...I oft look for evolvement in matters...and how it relates to external forces impacting matters. Many of the players were from proper working class backgrounds. I do not know what the training was like as youths and so on...but youths would play for endless hrs in those days at the back of terrace rows...Rooney was the last street footballer some say. Technically, they sure do look good, and frankly whenever I hear people talking of how good our teams are since the 80s...I look back at these days...and they were the best. They should have won a few world cups back then...and shame we lost Taylor and Edwards in 58 before the World Cup, which affected 62 too. They just look better on the ball...as though it is second nature. Now they dont have spare land to play...so have to go to Clubs for a game, so dont play as many minutes, and not used to beating men the same...which you could do with mates...but not at Clubs...who tend to get rid of any individual abilities. I sure do drool when I see these players...and Charlton comes through soon...how he kicked a casey like he did...I do not know...amazing.

You'd think it was a hammering for Brazil! Biased editing, apparently Brazil scored twice, didn't see them? 2 yrs later, a kid called Pele would arrive!
To be fair, He had like 46 possesions and 14 turnovers this game. 6 dribbles completed, 4 failed. 20 passes, 4 failed. Most of those 'wasted possessions' might be fouls drawn from opponents.

Don't see anything special. Terrible passing. If you want to see a fantastic winger, look at Garrincha of Brazil.
But where are all the sideways and backward passes that we see in modern football Mr Nudge ? Non stop attacking football , perhaps it was too much of a good thing !!!
You have to remember that in those days the ball was at least 3 x heavier, so were the boots & kit plus a lot stiffer and the pitches were nowhere near as smooth. It would be impossible to play at the speed of todays game. 👍
Other people have highlighted the difference between the kit and the ball, I used to kick about with an old leather ball in the 70s, there was a reason the old boots were like working boots with studs. The other thing you need to consider, these people lived though food rationing, rationing only ended in britain in 1954 I believe.
@@pauldurkee4764 Very true. The old balls also had exposed laces, i frequently had cuts & grazes on my forehead from headers. I was just a kid in the 60's but many older players had been in National Service which toughened them up. No diving or rolling around in fake agony after a tackle and tackles were much harder then. My dad, who played rugby in Wales and later football after moving to England, used to say he got more knocks playing football as it was brutal.
And that sort of football is Without the. Equipment they have to today or the money , nutrition and pampering these snowflakes get today England should have improved with diversity but it hasn't l find that strange 😢😢😢😢
