We had enough chances to win that.
Tommy Wright and Alan Ball started .

Jeff Astle's glaring left footed miss , didn't miss against us in '68 did he , cried my eyes out that day .

Good match that, i've seen it a few times down the years. It probably should have been a draw but Brazil were far more impressive vs the other teams in the group than England were and (rightly) won that group.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Going into a game in a World Cup on a different continent v Brazil and expecting to win. That’s what I remember.

But you lost ?‍

Indeed, but at that time you always expected England to win. Now; not so much.
Good luck to your boys especially ex Palace Johnny Williams. Great fella.

I will be supporting Wales in memory of my Grandfather who was an Evertonian from Chirk.

To be honest I’m not really a big fan of international football and can’t really get up for this World Cup. I’ll be working for the welsh games v england and the USA , obviously I wish them well and will be happy if they do well but I’m just not into it all at the moment

Ditto , Harry “yeah obviously” Kane and his penalty antics really do my head in .

Didn't he miss a similar one against the Germans in the quarters as well. Not sure if my memories playing tricks on me. Yes that cup final against us. My first real football memory. Some things are just not meant to be. Hit a weak shot, rebounded straight back to him and 9 times out of 10 would have gone in row Z but not against us though, flew in the top corner. We were streets ahead of them but we didn't turn up on the day. Should have known what I was letting myself in for.

About 5 weeks before the cup final we beat them 6-2 at their place .

No. Ramsey brought on Bell and Hunter. Bell played really well to be fair and was denied a pen after a clear foul by Beckenbauer.
