@polperro04 Barnes played in 1990. Apart from one good half v Belguim he was hopeless - always a mental block at international level. Fantastic club player accepted.

@expedition16 I honestly think No. France and (West) Germany had no fear against big nations - hence the way both took the game to Brazil (France QF) and Argentina (West Germany Final) in games in the tournament. We bottled it v Argies - very very negative despite the cheat goal and the wonder goal. We never played until the last 20 mins. Needed to get at them in the 1st half the way (an average) Italian team did in the group stages and got a draw

YES, BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THEY WERE ONLY AFRAID OF SPAIN.

@expedition16 France would have beaten us. West Germany were so unpredictable in that tournament so I can't say for sure. It wasn't a great England side all in all. Barnes playing only 20 odd mins vs Argentina (his only ever WC appearance) WAS A TRAVESTY!

@tonythetigerII Nah... France were the outstanding team of Mexico'86... without a shadow of a doubt!

@polperro04 I´M NOT TOO SURE. REMEBER, IN A WC YOU CAN HAVE A FANTASTIC MATCH AND THEN YOU HAVE A "DAY-OFF" AS YOU MENTION BATS HAD.
I THINK SPAIN WERE THE ONES WHO COULD HAVE SPOILED IT FOR ARGENTINA. RUGGERI SAID THE CHEERED WHEN BELGIUM TOOK THWM OUT.
