"Dusk was
falling when the extra time began. In the second minute a splendid
movement between Taylor, Broadis and Lofthouse resulted in the Bolton
centre forward netting following a perfect through pass from Broadis.
Dickinson, who had played so well, gave the Belgians a gift goal when he
back headed a shot going wide into his own goal after four minutes. Owen
had to receive off the field treatment for a leg injury. Matthews appeared
to have pulled a leg muscle and Wright seemed to be in trouble, as did
Taylor and Lofthouse." - Birmingham Gazette, Friday, 18 June

Notes
England have played
twenty extra-time
matches, winning five and losing three with the remaining twelve ending in
draws. Eleven of the twelve extra-time draws went to
penalty kick
shootouts, formally known as "kicks from the penalty mark," the post-match
procedure used since 1982 to determine which team advances and
which is eliminated at the knockout stage of a tournament when a
match remains drawn at the end of extra-time. England were
successful in only four of these eleven penalty kick shootouts; the
other seven ended in England's elimination from the tournament.
Extra-time is the traditional method
used to try to produce a winning team after the play over regulation time of
90 minutes has ended in a draw at the knockout stage of a tournament.
The competition rules for the World Cup and the European Championship have
provided for extra-time in elimination matches since the inception of these
two tournaments.
Extra-time usually consists of 30 minutes,
played in two periods of 15 minutes each, with the teams changing ends at the
halfway point. An interval of five minutes usually intercedes between regulation
time and extra-time. There is no break in play between the two periods
of extra-time other than the time it takes the teams to change ends, although
the players invariably take the opportunity to swig from water bottles.
Ten
of England's twenty extra-time matches came at World Cup final tournaments,
eight at European Championship final tournaments and two at the
Nations League Finals tournament. England have six times played multiple extra-time matches at a single tournament, three at
World Cup 1990, two at European Championship 1996, two at World Cup 2018,
two at Nations League 2019, two at European Championship 2020 and another two
at the 2024 tournament. Four of
England's extra-time matches were against West Germany/Germany with two each
against Belgium, Portugal, Italy and Switzerland. The remaining eight were against Cameroon, Spain,
Argentina, Colombia, Croatia, Netherlands, Denmark and Slovakia.
England have scored in
seven
extra-time matches and have failed to score in thirteen. They scored
eight
extra-time goals in those seven matches. They scored two goals in extra-time on a single occasion,
the 4-2 victory against West Germany in the World Cup 1966 final match.
England scored in four of their first five extra-time matches,
although one of them, against Belgium in a first round group match
at World Cup 1954 in Switzerland, still ended in a 4-4 draw
because Belgium, too, scored in extra-time. They then scored
in three of their next fifteen extra-time
matches, and the four in which they scored, the
first in a quarter-final against Portugal at European Championship 2004, still ended in a
2-2 draw because Portugal, too, scored in extra-time and advanced on penalty
kicks, the second in a semi-final against Denmark at European Championship
2020 was the winning goal that took England into their first
European Championship Final, and the third in a round-of-sixteen
match against Slovakia in European Championship Finals 2024. Only once have England scored a
penalty kick goal in extra-time, against Cameroon at World Cup 1990.
England have conceded six extra-time goals, against Belgium in the World Cup 1954 group
match that ended in a 4-4 draw,
against West
Germany in the 3-2 loss that sent them home from the World Cup 1970 final
tournament in Mexico, against hosts Portugal in the 2-2 draw that led to
a penalty kicks shootout that eliminated them from the European Championship
2004 final tournament, against Croatia, in the 2-1 loss that sent them
into the third-place match in the World Cup 2018, and two against Netherlands
in the Nations League Finals semi-final, that again, sent England into a Third
place play-off match - they had never conceded more than one extra-time
goal in a match before then. They have conceded four extra-time goals in their
last seventeen extra-time matches. They have never conceded a penalty kick
goal in extra-time.
There has been
two own goals
scored during extra-time of these matches, by England's Jimmy Dickinson for Belgium at World Cup 1954,
and by England's Kyle Walker for Netherlands at Nations League Finals 2019.
Eleven of England's twelve extra-time draws occurred in tournament elimination matches
and went to a
penalty kick shootout,
with England gaining advancement in only four
of them and falling short in the other seven. The other extra-time draw occurred in
group play against Belgium at World Cup 1954, where extra-time
was played in group matches if the score remained level after regulation time although tournament elimination was not
immediately at stake. Under the peculiar arrangement in force for that
tournament, each team played only two of the three other teams in the group,
which made deadlocks in the group tables much more likely. Superiority in goal difference or goals scored was not
then in use as a means of breaking deadlocks in points earned in group play.
The hope was that extra-time would produce a winning team and thus avoid
the need for a play-off match between teams level on points at the conclusion
of group play.
Three of England's
twenty extra-time
matches came before penalty kick shootouts became, at World Cup 1982, the
method of settling which team advanced in tournament play (or won the
tournament in the case of a final match) when the score remained level after extra-time. In
all three of these matches, extra-time produced goals by one or both teams.
In two of them, extra-time goals produced a winning team. Only the World
Cup 1954 group match against Belgium did not produce a winning team, and none
was required because tournament advancement was not at stake.
In the
seventeen extra-time matches played after adoption of the penalty kick
shootout, extra-time produced goals on only six occasions, twice at World Cup
1990, when England beat Belgium, 1-0, and Cameroon, 3-2, on extra-time goals in successive
matches, once at European Championship 2004, when both England and Portugal
both scored in extra-time to draw 2-2 and Portugal advanced on penalty
kicks, once in the Nations League Finals 2019, when Netherlands beat
England, scoring twice in extra-time, to advance to the Final, once in the
European Championship 2020 when England beat Denmark and once at
European Championship 2024 when England beat Slovakia. Of these
seventeen matches, extra-time goals thus produced a winning
team on only six occasions. No goals were scored in extra-time in the four extra-time
matches England played between the World Cup 1990 match against Cameroon and the
European Championship 2004 draw with Portugal, including their third extra-time match of
the World Cup 1990 tournament, the 1-1 semi-final draw with Germany.
The status of
extra-time has recently been in flux. Law 8 of The Laws of the Game
(July, 2003) provides simply that "competition rules may provide for two further equal periods to be
played." Law 10 stated, "For matches ending in a draw,
competition rules may state provisions involving extra time, or other
procedures approved by the International F.A. Board to determine the winner of
a match." The rules of the particular competition thus determined
whether and under what conditions extra-time was played.
In the mid-1990s, both FIFA and UEFA adopted the sudden
death "golden goal" in an effort to reduce the number of extra-time matches going to
a
penalty kick shootout. No longer did the teams play to the end of extra-time
after one of them scored; the match ended immediately on the scoring of the first
extra-time goal. The penalty kick shootout was used only if
neither team scored in the 30 minutes of extra-time. The golden goal
rule first appeared in senior international play at the European Championship in 1996 and at the World Cup
in 1998. The final matches at the European Championship tournaments of 1996
and 2000 were both settled by the scoring of a golden goal.
The golden goal rule drew a great deal of fire. Critics
said it was unfair because it denied the team conceding a goal the opportunity
to come back. They cited as an example the case where wind, sun position
or pitch
conditions strongly favour the team which scores in the first half of
extra-time; the match will end with the team conceding the goal denied the
opportunity, after the teams change ends at 15 minutes of extra-time, to enjoy
the same advantages as the scoring team. The critics also claimed that the fear of yielding a goal with such drastic consequences
encouraged even more defensive football, that it was questionable whether the
golden goal effectively reduced the number of penalty kick shootouts, and that
some of the greatest matches in history would have been cut short and shorn of
the drama that made them great had the golden goal rule been in place.
In early 2003, in an effort to meet some--but only some--of these
objections, UEFA announced it would replace the
"golden goal" with the so-called "silver goal" in the
elimination stages of its tournaments, including the European Championship
2004 final tournament. Later in the year UEFA put the new silver goal
rule in place for the second-leg playoff matches between teams finishing
second in the qualifying groups for the European Championship 2004 final
tournament. If the two home and away playoff games ended with the teams
level in points, in goals scored and in away goals scored, then extra-time
would be played under the silver goal rule.
Under the "silver goal" rule, no longer was the team which scored the first extra-time goal the
sudden death winner of the match. Instead, the teams played on until the
end of the 15-minue period of extra-time in which the goal had been
scored. If one team scored during the first half of the full 30 minutes of
extra-time, the teams would play on until at least the end of that first half.
If one team was ahead at the end of that first half of extra-time, it won the
match. If the score remained level at the end of the first half of extra-time, either because no
goals had been scored in that half or because both teams had scored an equal
number of goals in the half, the teams would play the second 15-minute period
of extra-time. Again, if one team scored in the second half of extra-time
to break the deadlock, the teams would continue to play until the end of the
full 30
minutes of extra-time. If one team was ahead at the conclusion of the
full 30 minutes of extra-time, it won the match. If the score was level at the end of
the full 30 minutes of
extra-time, either because neither team had scored in extra-time or because
they had scored an equal number of goals during extra-time, a penalty kick shootout
was held to determine which team advanced in the tournament or, in the case of
the final match, won the tournament.
On February 28, 2004,
however, the International Football Association Board amended Law 10 to
provide that only procedures it has approved are permitted where competition
rules require determination of which team advances and which is eliminated
after a match has been drawn in regulation time, and it specified that extra-time
followed, if necessary, by a penalty kick shootout is the only approved method
in that event. The ruling put an end to
sudden death goals of both sorts, golden and silver. It meant that a
full 30 minutes of extra-time must be played in all tournament elimination
matches in which the teams are level on goals at the end of regulation time,
followed by a penalty kick shootout if the score is still level at the end of
extra-time. The decision, however, became effective only on 1 July 2004
and did not affect the European Championship 2004 final tournament, in which
the silver goal rule governed.
England, of course, have never played a match in which a
golden goal was scored by either side, although they played in three
extra-time matches in which the golden goal rule was in effect, against Spain
and Germany at European Championship 1996 and against Argentina at World Cup
1998.
At European Championship 2004, for the first and only
time, England played an extra-time match in which the silver goal rule was in
effect, the quarterfinal against Portugal. The silver goal rule did not,
however, determine which team advanced although both team scored
in extra-time. After regulation time ended with the teams level at 1-1,
neither team scored during the first 15-minute period of extra-time. But
Portugal went ahead during the second 15-minute period of extra-time, at 110
minutes, 2-1. Had the golden goal rule been in effect, the match would
have ended then and there, with Portugal winning, 2-1. But, since the
silver goal rule governed, the match continued until the end of the full 30
minutes of extra-time, and England managed to equalize at 115 minutes.
Both teams having scored during extra-time to produce a 2-2 draw, the teams
went to a penalty kick shootout, with Portugal advancing.
