England v France WC82

[superatticman]

Brilliant! When footballers were footballers without the underachieving celebrity shite we have to put up with nowadays

[dsdan83]

Both teams are wearing their away colours, I have never seen that before. In fact, in Euro 2004 when they also played each other, both France and England wore their home strip.

[1974superk]

Bryan Robson ...what a great midfeilder he was .We bumped into Bryan Robson today at West Ham v Barnsley .What a nice fella,he signed autographs and had pic done with fans..

[chrisM33]

Wow the french and england teams have half not changed in the last 20 years have they not, seems like nowdays france play there team filled with guys from there former colonies, what a change up in such a short time

[garply101]

England went out of that World cup undefeated. I think England had its best teams in the 80's and 1990, but didn't win a World Cup.

[Sazandar]

Yes, Bilbao, San-Mamez - the stadium of FC Atletic, the team sticking to British style of playing till today and even maintaing English spelling of their club's name.

[IrudienLantegia]

The match took place in Bilbao (Basque Country). It was very hot.

[owashi1968]

what's the story with Mariner?

[Autumn776899]

Igirsu! Just make some FRUK service, instead if playing soccer! [APH]

[ravaefava1]

No one celebrates with Mariner... 

[MRRRKOOLLL]

I love and miss that era of football, players were much more classy back with more charisma, technical and tactical ability. Nowadays it's all about speed and power.

[Sazandar]

In 1982 Bryan Robson scored the fastest goal ever in the history of world cups - 27 seconds after the beginning!

And he scored this goal against France, to whom the record of the fastest goal had belonged - 38 seconds by Bernard Lacombe in 1978.

ENGLAND -- YOU'VE GOT IT RIGHT!!!

[karlvorderman]

Check out the book 'England's World Cup Adventures Since 1945, A Complete Record' by Talented Loser.

[kamalito2]

la honte pour la france de platini, vous n'avez connu les victoires contre l’Angleterre qu'avec zidane

[ayrton7510]

@kamalito2 : faux, la France a battu 2-0 les anglais en 1984....y'avait pas Zidane en '84 ?

[rohansrider]

England V Wales this week-end.  Let's hope that it is a very positive result. Plenty of goals!!

[junkybabes]

that was a very good french side that we hammered... we were unbeaten in the 82 finals...

[jamessalter1]

Bloody hell Mick Mills , gives you nightmares!

[rohansrider]

As we are on the subject of International football my thoughts: If England does not make the final of Euro 2012 .Senor Capello should get the sack with no golden handshake I am sick of these foreign managers who are given huge pay-offs for FAILURE. The European Championship is England's to lose.

[johnnie832]

@rohansrider Capello as Sven Goran should never have reconduced in time, it

is like the disaster Raymond for Team France in World Cup

2010.

[KaitainCPS]

@rohansrider

Not sure about that, mate. I wouldn't even rate us as one of the top five sides in Europe at the moment.

[rohansrider]

Happy days! Good luck Bryan we are all rooting for you.

[niallo23]

Hope Robbo gets better, legendary leader and player.

[Mozzofull1]

@niallo23 sad news!!! he was my childhood hero!!

and watching this video explains why!! :)

[RichLN]

Nice to see a Mick Mills special heading into orbit.

[MrJeepsters]

peut être la meilleure équipe anglaise depuis 1966.

Ils ont été éliminé d'un but, dommage car ils pouvaient aller en finale

[Kenpachi035]

this was the last victory of england against f'rance ! Hahaha !

[KaitainCPS]

@Kenpachi035

No, England beat France in Montpelier in 1997.

[chrisninety1]

@KaitainCPS Also at Wembley in 1992 just before the Euros that year, a young Alan Shearer making his debut I seem to remember.

Also, I think Paul Mariner needs to calm down there, he's overdoing the celebration a bit.

[MrYoungHand]

I Love England 

[capokhatpin]

Those were the days........

[pedroegay]

Is that John Motson right?? fantastic

[soliblue]

Robson- banging it in right in front on the english casuals! Oh how i wish i could have been there

[tonythetigerII]

Note none eof maniacal running to the sideline after a goal.

[capricious71]

Spain 1982 - Best world cup finals ever.

[thelegendaryred16]

Bryan Robson.......NUMBER FUCKING 7!

[udestroy]

why the hell did fifa use that shit second group stage format???? stupid!! england goes out without losing a game

[tain36]

England weren't the best team at this tournament I'm afraid, that honour belongs to Brazil. England would have gone through if they could have beaten Spain by two goals but they failed to score one.

England were solid, difficult to beat, but not a great side.

Nor, since 1970, have they ever been.

[irishchrisc]

@tain36 Love the frank honestly mate.  Good point.

[dolmanf]

@tain36 1990 was a class side

[driffter1976]

Best headed goal of all time by Robson!!!

[irishchrisc]

Great quality video. Do miss Motty commentating. The others are so so bland these days.

[dimgwalltameiben]

French goalie: if you think this hurts, wait til the semi

[dimgwalltameiben]

French goalie's wondering what's worse than conceding almost from thre kick off? Wait a couple of weeks and you'll find out, mate!

[EnglishHuscarl]

England got knocked out of this tournament without losing a game. England won their group ahead of France and got put in a group with West Germany and Spain, Frances prize for finishing below England was to be put in a far easier group with Austria and Northern Ireland. England got two draws and went out of the tourney.

[julianhomer]

Brilliant! Check out my song - Football Mental

[ariyapiampreeda]

Capt. Marvell ! he is going to make our Thai fan come tru !!!

[BasVegas1]

I cannot get over how easy we beat tham then. Where was the amazing Platini lol.

[MrTinlizzy]

I will now tell you the finest Algerian football player of all time,, Zinadine Zadane,, my god he was good.....

[ifyouwantblood100]

in your face, Platini

[SiouplaitMerci]

Great video . I thought England was a great national team cause they beat us 1-3 . But they declined throughout this world cup and until nowadays ! :p

Liverpool , Hotspurs , Everton, Aston Villa , 80' s !

[eisenkreuzmusik]

why wasn't England in white and France in blue?

[18millwall]

Hi, "Magnificent Goal"! It seems to me I heard the speaker talking something about Brooking. Didn`t Brooking play?

[aymericism2]

this is sci-fi... England winning ?

[VertParigo]

@supershearer: You national team has won nothing since 1966. In the meantime France went to 2 WC semi-finals, 2 WC finals and won one, won 2 Euro championships. C'mon be serious. France isn't as dominant as it were between 98-00 but way in front of england in term of results for almost 30 years now...

[supershearer206]

The french are awful footballers and this shows as they got nowhere before they started fielding a full team of africans in 98.

[saintjust2]

Racist! I remember you first: England has never been european champion; second: Guadeloupe, Martinique or Reunion are french!; at last: in 1982, which team were the most beautiful match? the french team in semi final against West Germany!

[supershearer206]

Please explain how that's racist? The european championships are a nothing tournament, greece won it.. enough said. France never won the european or the world cup anyway mate, an african all star team won them. Sorry but never even heard of those french players you mentioned.

[TheLegendfamily]

Yeah, & I like how u made a solid point & then saintjust plays the race card/accuses u of being a racist. How is any FUCKING way, shape, or form can u construe that as being a racist statement? The French FA will hand caps to a little green Martian who steps out of a flying saucer as long as he can kick a bloody football!

[jwood36]

Pretty much like the England cricket team

[TheLegendfamily]

How do u mean, jwood? I'll pull 4 our NT cricket side because I'm English orig., but I don't really give a toss about cricket. U might as well have posted "yeah, just like the English freestlye spitballing side" for all I care. ;D

[jwood36]

Point is in most sports national associations they'll use this rule to their advantage, England cricket team is awash with them.

John Barnes Owen Hargreaves and Terry Butcher weren't born in England either

[TheLegendfamily]

1st off; on the England cricket side, I don't really think that they should be capping people from here, there, & everywhere either. So now u just thought that I was a blind, rabid Little Englander didn't u? U thought that I was going 2 say that the 3 Lions should allowed to club baby seals 2 death on the BBC as long as it helped them win the WC? Now, I can admit the shortcomings w/my own nation's sports programs to stick by my point; can u?

[jwood36]

FFS paranoid much, no i didn't presume you were a rabid little Englander as i don't presume anything, what i do think is that you come across as a whingy whiney begrudger, your argument falls down as soon as England offer a cap to one non national

[TheLegendfamily]

& u r ASSUMING that I was talking to u specifically when I actually meant your side of the discussion in general. Don't try to troll or flame on me mate; a few people here on UTube have tried & learned the hard way. If u want 2 flame: "let's drop the gloves" as the Cans. & Yanks say. As far as "my argument" goes: I'm still waiting for these hundreds of non-national FOOTBALL caps that Eng., or any of the British NTs, r supp. 2 b handing out.

[TheLegendfamily]

Btw: Butcher; both parents British (English even) BORN in Sing., but a British national since birth; then moved back to the UK when still a child. John Barnes: father was British (IIRC), moved to Britain WAY b4 he was ever a top football prospect; was a Brit. nat. either from birth or as a young child, I'll have 2 dbl.-check. Owen Hargreaves: born in Can. 2 both Brit. parents, parents may have filed 4 Brit citizenship; I'll have 2 check.

[TheLegendfamily]

Cont.: But Hargreaves was still elig. 2 play 4 Eng. since Can. passed on capping him & BOTH of his parents r Brit. Viera: last time I checked; still about as French as a moon rock. ;D

[TheLegendfamily]

But, Barnes, Butcher, Roy-Fucking-Race, etc.: all had @ least one British parent & either had British nationality from birth or got it fairly early in life. Until he decided 2 play football 4 them; Viera was about as French as a bloody moon rock, IMHO. As far as bringing in cricket, curling, or Olympic wanking-off 4 distance: this a a bloody FOOTBALL discussion, mate. Way back when, the E. Gers. were placing men in women's swimming events & claiming that they were women.

[TheLegendfamily]

Since the E. Germans did that, should we check under the skirts of the women's England football side or Team USA to c if everything is fair-&-square? No offense, but, as far as I'm concerned: the England cricket side can go around robbing banks dressed in US X-presidents' masks (U've not seen Pt. Break? ;D) & I really don't c what the hell that has 2 do w/FOOTBALL!!

[trident130977]

Of course, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, etc. are french colonies masked as DOM-ROM etc.!

[saintjust2]

French DEPARTMENT since siecles: they are more more french than Bretagne for exemple...

[TheLegendfamily]

Exactly! The US or Liechenstein could win the WC if they just called up players from twenty different countries.

[onulf]

I think you ought to take a tour of French football academies, this will teach you a lot and prevent you from sounding so pathetic.

[TheLegendfamily]

Pathetic, mate? Your NT didn't really start winning shite until u started handing out French footballing nationality out 2 every1. 2 quote Brian Clough, "FULL STOP"! Viera isn't orig. Senagalese? Trezeguet isn't Argentinian? U r talking shite 2 a fan who was prob. watching f-ball b4 your daddy was wearing diapers & comes from the country that orig. CODIFIED the game of football. So: JOG THE FUCK ON!!

[James31971]

And Trezeguet is Argentinian

[jwood36]

You could argue that you're not racist, but you can't argue that you're talking a load of bollocks.

This french team were class in 82 84 and 86, if you've never heard of Platini, Six, Giresse, Rocheteau or Tigana then you know nothing about Football.

But then you've already illustrated that

[supershearer206]

No i'm definately not racist and certainly not talking bollocks either. Course i know platini, he's the english hating fifa boss, i despise the man and can't wish death on him enough. Not being familiar with the rest may be more due to the fact that i was born in 84 u nobhead, not a lack of football knowledge. Go bum a frog u old loser!

[jwood36]

I was born in 1970 but I still know who Pele Garrincha and Rivellino are, that doesn't excuse you talking through your hoop.

That's the same Platini who won't act as a puppet for the money men and is actually trying to bring some fairness back into UEFA competitions instead of being taken over by super rich clubs, yeah what a twat.

Go bum a frog? Pathetic

[onulf]

This is what happens when your frustration takes you so low. France has the world'sbest football academies, face it. Then rich English, Spanish or Italian clubs can buy up the talent because they can pay for it. And make the youngsters stronger.

Your use of his name in your AKA tarnishes the image of the great Alan Shearer, you're clueless when it comes to the history of the game anyway.

[TheLegendfamily]

@ least he isn't defending a national FA/NT that wins major tourneys by capping players from half the bloody planet & then passes it off by shovelling shite about having superior youth academies.

[supershearer206]

Ur missing the point, regardless of how great these academies are the good players they're producing aren't french. French footballers are rubbish so u use africans instead. All the french are good at is surrendering. I'm 24 so i'm not too clued up about things b4 i was born & not that interested either. I'm sure big al would agree with everything i'm saying. TheLegendFamily haha a martian. Yeah saying an African is African must be racist these days. Those frogs have won nothing in my eyes mate.

[TheLegendfamily]

I'm glad that u liked my little crack there. I'll give the French credit 4 Euro '84 since they were actually fielding a FRENCH team. It just cracks me up that the French FA started capping practically any1 who would play for them & then French NT fans try & act like they're the new cradle of football, or whatever.

[trident130977]

French are 100% scumbags! Slutty and stupid french girls smell like canned dog food!!!! Who's D. Rocheteau? He's not a guy, he's a monkey! A. Giresse? He's an ugly dwarf!

[meisterly]

disagree with you guys re France in 98. Yes, they had no strikers but their midfield and defence were the best. You dont get through 4 knock out matches conceeding only 1 goal with luck.

[iangatsby21]

thats freakin great video quality for an '82 wc game, usually those games are horrible quality@@@

[ElPeruanoUFO]

Nice video quality for being a 1982 film

[NiScontex]

@ElPeruanoUFO lol

[davzx7r]

sur le 3eme but anglais tresor il se trou sevére ...

[wayzotoichi]

mais Marius Tresor aussi a marquee un vollee vraiment magnifique, contre allemagne.

[davzx7r]

bonjour d'accor pour la volée , mai pendant cette coupe du monde la defence a eter minable et on a tout mis sur le dos du gardien (ettori) s est un peut toujour la meme chose avec les gardien !! voila A +

[DFaustus]

Why are the English wearing red ? No need for them to wear their away strip against France (who wear blue).

[wayzotoichi]

england beat west germany wearing red...also I like it when England play red, e.g. vs. Argentina in 2002. I think you're right though, most people watched 1982 World Cup at home in black&white TV, so having both teams wearing dark tops doesn't make sense.

[mukarung]

I liked Trevor Francis. He was wonderfully skillful.

[wayzotoichi]

Robson - what a legend!! France just started slowly, while England flattered to deceive here..France on the other hand oozed class for the remainder of Spain 82 with Platini, Tigana, Giresse etc.! And unlucky not to get to the final. They were classy, in a tournament that lost Brazil too early.

This was our best start, but Keegan, Francis and Brooking were not at their best after this. 1990 and 1996 were the best of our memories. France have 1982, 86, 98, 2006..better international record.

[gammergq]

The French also have 84 and 2000.

[chefblanc]

on the contary , always thort france have been poor these last 20 years struggleing at best to win things , lucky with pen shootout outs and offside decisions going for them. how they won in 98 is one of the travestys of football. its like wimbledon winning the Fa cup!

[davzx7r]

la defence francaise est nul!!!

[Praxis71]

English football boring? I find it to be one of the most exciting to watch--and I'm not English!

[chefblanc]

yes thats why we dominate the game. but we must let others play also

[PrettyPiZZAface]

you are a pervert! england's gameplan: kick the ball forward, hopefully it goes in or the ref gives a ghost-goal like 1966.

[mukito78]

In the end France reached the 1/2 final and became a better team than england

[rebetispalios]

i hate when the English have any success in football/soccer.  They play such a brutally boring brand.

The French has one of the most beautiful teams in 82: Tigana, Giresse, Bossis, Batiston, Platini, Amoros, Rocheteau, Tresor.

They lost to the Huns whose keeper brutalized Batiston in one of the ugliest soccer incidents in the history of the game.

[pix042]

there is nothing boring about england beating France 3-1! However, France did play some quality football for several tournaments before winning the world cup, eventually, in 1998. In this tournament Harold Schumacher punched Battiston in the face and was not even booked!

[chefblanc]

i think france in 98 were one of the luckiest countrys ever to win a wc, they got through a pen shootout luckily after the opo had a clear goal dissalowed for ofside when it wasent, took 119 mins to beat a team ranked outside the top 100 and played a team in the final that had its best player unavailable. no one dicuss's this. i thort they were poor in 98. sorry thats just the truth!

[rdw1970]

Couldn't agree more with you chefblanc. Still baffles me to this day how that side won the world cup. They were average at best and it stinks the way Brazil played in the final.

[HitMeQuick]

Brutally boring? What about when we won the world cup with the wingless wonders? Italia 90 when Gascoigne frightened the whole world? Euro 96, the Christmas Tree, the off the cuff drubbing of the Dutch. Hardly dull. Even this match has charm, we were at the French, getting in their ponsey 'let's flick it about and win nothing' faces. And look at that kit. Shits on anything the French could sport, cockerel or not.

[Sazandar]

to rebetispalios: brutally boring bullshit. I'm not English, but reckon that English football is the best. It's best, it's rush, it's dalglish!..

This time - we'll make it right!

[gammergq]

And you are a yank need I say more. Soccer!

[Belbenoit1974]

que increiBle, 27 segundos de juego!!!

este fue el gol mas rapido de la historia de los mundiales hasta el 2002, cuando un turco, Hakan Sukur, en el partido por el tercer puesto de Corea Japon, hizo un gol a los 11 segundos.

[brendanyates]

Bryan Robson was the outstanding player of his day. 26 goals from 90 England appearances - that's 1 in 3 - from midfield! Captain Marvel indeed.

[dynamoneno]

Brian Robson...what a great player

[DonLoganUK]

shin pads flapping in the wind,you dont see that anymore.robbo cool as fuck!
