Match Report
by Norman Giller |
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.
