  • One of the blackest nights in England's history, as despite creating numerous chances they fail to beat Poland at Wembley in October 1973 and therefore miss out on a place in the 1974 World Cup finals. This match was played just seven years after England had won the tournament, but the heroics of Poland's goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski (despite an early injury and being labelled a "clown" by Brian Clough) meant it would be his country going to the finals as qualifying group winners.

    Poland was one of the world's best then, and they went on to win six of their seven WC games, beaten only by winner Germany. Grzegorz Lato was unstoppable, and England were OK, which wasn't enough against Poland. Four years later England were unlucky, since they were as good as Italy but didn't qualify because their wins against Finland and Luxembourg were not emphatic enough.

They both were at the same age and they both watched that game in 73 . For 15 min all they talked about that spectacular match at Wembley. Even 40 years later the officer remembered names of all polish player's and all details from that game. Isn't that beautiful that football have such an impact on our's life???

I remember my class mates saying England would easily win by 4 or 5 goals. They all laughed when I said Poland could get a draw and knock England out because they were underrated.

I had predicted to all and sundry that the Germans would win 3-1. At school on the following Monday our class teacher asked me "why were you convinced that the Germans would win ?" I said "sir since the 1966 World Cup, England have not really progressed, but the Germans have got stronger during the last 6 years and we have just stood still " That was the mindset of many English fans of the 70s.

      @@bessarion1771 I watched the game live as a nine year old boy. England were not losing the game badly as you falsely assert. In fact, I've never to this day seen a team dominate another the way England dominated Poland that evening. Tomachewski played brilliantly and made multiple saves, and Poland prevailed due to the keeper, and not a few desperate clearances off the line by his team mates. Indupitably England could easily have won by at least 7-1 on a different day. In contrast, Poland had one shot in all the match and scored! I agree that the penalty was a soft one, but I think the ref may have had some anxieties about disallowing Mike Channon's legitimate goal only minutes earlier. He then took the opportunity to correct his error by awarding the questionable penalty. Poland commendably and impressively came third in the 1974 finals, just nine months later. In hindsight the FA ought not to have sacked Ramsey because he built a strong squad, characterised by flair and good teamork , who played attractive football and were very difficult to beat.

      Right, similar errors. and Bonetti- one of the best goalies in the world- had only conceded 1 goal in his 6 previous games for England, was tremendous v Portugal. The single scapegoat, never played for England again..And in that match v West Germany in Mexico, people forget Bobby Moore was at fault, giving away the ball for the 3rd and the defense was poor for the 2nd. Moore was crucially at fault v Poland away in this tournament and Shilton also might have been expected to save it. Norman Hunter hardly covered himself in glory for the Poland goal in this match, and nowadays of course McFarland would have been red carded for grabbing Lato (strangely absent in these highlights). What English people tend to remember from this match is Tomaszewski, Clough's clown comment and England coming close often. At the time people didn't realise that Poland had a strong side, though Wales beat them 2-O, the only team to beat them in qualifying matches and the world cup itself, apart from winners West Germany.

I dont think so. They will win an EC in time and time again. The game needs an overhaul in England = yes, sure. But dont forget this - due to the tribal mentality (if we can call it that) of the UK, the country (yes the UK is the country) divides itself into 4 teams. Just imagine Spain going in as Catalonia and some other region or German competing as Bavaria and Lower Saxony. UK is the only entity in world football registered with FIFA and UEFA that is allowed to compete as individual states and not representing the proper country. And while they missed out on the 74 WC, Poland finished 3rd, when they missed out on the 76 EC, Czechs finished 1st and when they missed out on WC 78 Italy were 4th. And when they missed out on EC 84, Denmark came 3rd. So they dont bow out to crap! You need to be a top team to get ahead of them.

    England, like too often, believed their own hype. Their other results in the group were a 2-0 defeat in Poland, a 1-1 draw at Wales (against a side mostly made up of lower division players) and a 1-0 home victory against Wales. Hardly the stuff of champions.

    Shame that one of these teams couldn't go to the 74 WC, but that's how it goes. England had good players and a decent team in 74, and battered the Poles in this match who themselves had an excellent team.

      +Jimmy Hunter just like the French team of 93 vs Bulgaria. People looked at those Bulgarians as they did the Poles back in 73 and 74.

      You're right, England would have been a threat in 74. Happily FIFA now have a play off system for those that finish second in a group.
