This best game of football I've ever seen from a England team...considering the heat the 3rd game in a row with extra time and more importantly the opposition...that German team was outstanding...the best German team I've ever seen...so close...Argentina in the final would have been no problem for England...this was England's final

I'm not sure you can say that. Argentina, were unpredictable. They still had Maradona and a very decent Claudio Cannigia. Bar the Netherlands, this was England's only half decent performance. While Argentina had beaten Brazil, USSR and Italy en route. Had England played Argentina in the final, anything could have happened.

_Bit disappointing but there it is_

[@Dead-Ball-Situation]

It's the emotions and the nostalgia that gives in to reason when it tries to justify why England "should" have won this world Cup. But in reality, this was England's only second decent performance in Italy, while W.Germany had been consistently excellent up to this point. W.Germany were the best team and they deserved the win. Even if England had played Argentina in the final, anything could have happened for Argentina themselves had beaten USSR & Brazil to get that far and held off against the favourites Italy as well as Yugoslavia. There is no way that final would have been a given & it is strange some people think that.

You can't just blame one man, the players have to take some of the responsibility including negative and humiliating stories from our media, which must have affected the players preparation. Sometimes you need a bit of luck.
