    The greatest World Cup for me, with the greatest Brazilian team I ever saw, it's an absolute tragedy they didn't win. Every game of the 2nd round Brazil, Italy & Argentina group was a classic. And the West Germany-France semi-final is the stuff of legend.

Plain red shirt and socks and Plain white shorts. Along with the light blue 3rd kit, sort of. We didn't really have an official 3rd kit, but we had the light blue shorts and socks against Argentina in 1986.

    Exciting first game in Bilbao, England with the right tactics surprised an excellent French side. But France proved later they had a team with the potential to win this cup reaching semis.

      But England's best 2 attacking players were injured (Brooking and Keegan) - it was a risk, which didn't come off, by Greenwood including them in the squad - and only played 15 mins each in the last game v Spain. Without these 2, England really struggled as the tournament went on.

I'm not sure the squad was better than in '78 but they certainly had a much better, more level-headed manager in Jock Stein.
