  This was the sixteenth match since 
	  the summer of 1965 in which England had not conceded a goal. The Czechs 
	  came only to defend, and their nine-man blanket defence smothered the 
	  England attack. England were now unbeaten in their last eighteen matches, 
	  and losing only once in their last twenty-nine, but this was a below-par 
	  performance that disappointed the 75,000 crowd. For the record, this was 
	  only the second goalless draw in fifty-eight post-war full internationals 
	  at Wembley. The only other one was the World Cup curtain-raiser against 
	  Uruguay. |
