You don't get those misty nights at Wembley anymore, if I think about these games as kid, it is always like this, with the mist and condensed breath on the players - plus the crappy results - still nice to see Gerry and DT on the pitch
As a kid in the 70's and 80's I watched every second of every game available and just loved it. Used to lay on my mum's kitchen floor and listen to other games on the radio. I couldn't care less now. Not bothered about England and only watch West Ham online from here in the USA.
Those were the days when you could get all sporting events for free on ITV and BBC. These are the players I remember well since I moved to the US in the early 80’s and lost track of England for a long time. Shame that so many of the players have passed away already.
A team as experienced as that one should have had the nous to beat Portugal’s offside trap. It was crying out for some of Keegan’s energy and trickery.
England always struggled at home in the 70’s and 80’s to a useful continental side with a sweeper and a good goalkeeper who could cope with high crosses. It was this deep defensive organisation coupled with not being afraid of physical contact and working hard that baffled England. Unfortunately, at this time the English league with 90% of attacks ending in a high cross was not producing the kinds of players who could adapt their game for England.
When England could not rely on being given easy groups when qualifying for major competitions. The pattern was established in this decade when England could not qualify for a tournament and were regularly beaten when they played the top sides. Nothing much has changed really.
Great times. Brooking, Shannon, Peters, Keegan, Francis, Clements etc. Roy of the Rovers comic, Shoot magazine, the back page of the newspapers, Match of the Day, waiting for the end days of summer for the new football season to begin. What a nation England was back then. How did it all end like this?
Oh, yes, of course we remember your Bakhramov, although many people still call him the "Russian linesman". Banisevski, a player of the Soviet national team, also played in Azerbaijan. My father remembered him during the 1966 World Cup.
Revie should have picked clever midfield players like Alan Hudson and Tony Currie who could unlock defenses instead he relied on hard workers like Emlyn Hughes. Allan Clarke and Terry Cooper were past their best by then but they were his old boys from Leeds,instead of going for Malcolm Mcdonald or Charlie George up front. Add that to the injuries of Gerry Francis and Kevin Beattie. Not surprising England had little success in the 70,s.
El infortunio que tuvieron algunas generaciones de selecciones de participar en épocas donde solo clasificaba 1 equipo por grupo,eran menos partidos pero rivales fuertes y pocos débiles,no había espacio para récords de partidos,goles y clasificaciones continuas , por eso decir que X o Y de los actuales a sido el .mejor tendrían que revisar esos aspectos
We had good players but they were never going to be world beaters.Revie a competent club manager but no more than that.Having said all that still a game we should have won.
Many competent managers at club level fail at national level: Wherever Capello went, he became champion: With Juve (If I am not mistaken), Milan. Roma and Madrid. So I thought once he became England manager, England could win or at least reach the final 4 of Euro or World Cup; that didn't happen. Hansi Flik turned a weak Bayern team to win the CL with great performances, So I thought becoming manager of Germany would make Germany to return to old glories. Same with Erickson with England and some others. What works at club level, does not necessarily work at national level for certain managers for variety of reasons.
Great players, but all disruptive. Osgood was a diluted George Best. George had an attitude problem. Weller had questionable involvement with women. They were not' 'unlucky''.
Revie never had the character for the job - and never knew what his best team was. In fairness he did have tough groups in both his qualifying campaigns - but his huge error was quitting before his contract was up. WAS never forgiven for that.
He was the original 'Tinkerman' long before Claudio Ranieri. He made the fatal mistake of managing like a club manager thinking he could pick a different team for a specific game but at international level you must have a settled team. And because he had the choice of any player in the country, the temptation was to keep tinkering.
@@Lord_Hillcrest01 That was part of it agreed but he was scared as well.Leeds cheating was an open secret among football circles just like Jimmy Savile's paedophilia was at the BBC.
There were plans to do this with the dog track becoming a Athletics track at that time London had been chosen to stage the 2005 World Athletics Championships but when the FA and Football League said no to Athletics it was changed to Pickets Lock but NIMBYs intervened which meant that London had to pull out
I've changed my view of what Clough could have done at the international level..What would he have done so drastically that could have turned them into world beaters?
@@paulwebb6087 Clough bought the players who played for forest. Don's players came through the ranks at leeds big difference. Clough was useless with out Peter Taylor.
In what respect.? Football now iis boring as fk, no tackling , no atmosphere, no exciting games, and most of all, hardly any brits in the premier league. Dont be one of those old boys who think slagging off 70's football, makes you down with the kids and fashionable. I'd go back to these days in a heartbeat.
Humberto coelho Vitor Damas, Joao Alves WOW legends of the game, we always struggled in these post 74 revolution days, but we should have beaten the English with the talent we had that day
The arrogance of Brian Moore. Portugal became European Champions and a world power. England remain stagnant an trophyless. 1966 was over half a century ago! Even then a compromised ref team was needed.

Still suffering then 😂
All fond memories when I look at things and events from late 70’s & all 80’s…it just all looks real….hard to explain but big and bold…just real!!!
BIG thank you for uploading this match thoroughly enjoyed it as a 70 years old geezer 👍👍👍

And so good to see my boyhood hero Colin bel, whose career was tragically cut short by the Manc enemy.
This was the result that cost England coupled with the loss away to Czechoslovakia
The famous Wembley pitch, that cut up easier than a wedding cake, terrible surface in the wet.

Shilton, Keegan, Worthington, Ball... the subs looked stronger than the starting XI!

Vitor Damas!
DAMAS
"Damas mais 10." (Pedroto)
Worth seeing just for Brian Moore's coat!
Why they didn't pick Kevin Hector amazed me?
Don Revie though honest as ever!
Keith Macklin : Thank you very much indeed Don and back to……Brian Moore.
Why did Don Revie pick Terry Cooper at left back ? Surely, he should have been 'left back' in Mexico after the 1970 World Cup !
Leeds mafia
Coopers warm up from 4:35. fantastic. hop skipping backwards.
What a refreshingly honest interview from Don… compare and contrast with todays managers
golden age of football
I liked soccer in those days, too.
Oh yeah, whistling and booing opposing team's anthem and all. 😄

No Kevin Hector! Better than most of them

Malcolm MacDonald, "The Scourge of Cyprus"😂
Ray Train and Ted Novak should of been in the squad .
thanks for the upload
"What a load of rubbish" after drawing with Portugal. Oh how times have changed!
How have they changed ?
I was lucky to see Ball,shilton and Worthington play

Mono sound ❤❤ good times
where are the skilful England players , Charlie George, Keith Weller, Peter Osgood.
Great players, but all disruptive. Osgood was a diluted George Best. George had an attitude problem. Weller had questionable involvement with women. They were not' 'unlucky''.
Can’t believe revie got the job in front of clough .
Rizla and Dulux among the advertising hoardings.

He quit because he thought that the match fixing at Leeds was about to hit the headlines and he would be in big trouble.

Wish that they had kept the original design of Wembley but rebuilt it to the original design

Don’t need to watch it, full match they win, highlights they lose
That was a very poor England team. Decent players but not a team. Clough would have sorted them out.
I've changed my view of what Clough could have done at the international level..What would he have done so drastically that could have turned them into world beaters?
How disrespectable was the crowd during the Portuguese Anthem?? What a shame..
Nothing changes.
Soccer fans least of all.
Portugal fans and many other international teams have always booed England, so dont get racist about it.
Don Revie…Greatest Manager Ever😂😂
Wasnt even the greatest manager born in Middlesbrough.
Not a patch on Cloughie
Don is the greatest leeds utd manager ever. Your probably a prawn sandwich support.

@@michaelpower4372 There haven't been many!
@@michaelpower4372 He did pretty well without him.
Asking Don Revie about cynical tactics? He would know, I suppose.
The fact was that England were not good enough. Loved this as a kid but I watch this now as an adult and it's garbage!
