00:00:05the saga continues tonight the stakes are high and mighty live from turin england against west

00:00:11germany for a place on the world's finest stage and the possibility of eternal glory in the

00:00:16eternal city of rome a very good evening to you our national game has been barracked buffeted

00:00:23belittled it's taken a right old hammering but here we are in the semi-finals of the world cup

00:00:27it's the biggest the proudest day in english football history since this fellow here lifted

00:00:32the world cup the jules remade trophy in 1966 bobby bobby more are we going to do it tonight

00:00:37well i sincerely hope so i mean for the first time we're probably going into a game the out-and

00:00:41-out

00:00:41underdogs i mean everything stacks up in favor of the germans but i mean the way the lads are digging

00:00:46into the reserves of energy and the determination and the character in the side you know who can say

00:00:51and the way the tournament's going yeah i think they might well do this is the place to be in

00:00:56turin

00:00:57tonight graham what about you are you for england well of course i'm for england yeah very much so

00:01:01and of course everybody back home are for england this is really it isn't it so let's get in and

00:01:07get

00:01:07at them now the team news not quite as anticipated actually terry butcher playing as an extra defender

00:01:12at the back peter beardsley is in as well alongside gary lineker but the butcher news is the one that

00:01:16seems to have surprised a few people bobby well yeah i mean i think we was waiting to see exactly

00:01:22what

00:01:22was going to be happening with regards to mark wright and uh john barnes but uh you know it would

00:01:26appear that uh you know he's starting with the team that started the second half against the

00:01:30cameroons which was basically a straightforward change beardsley for barnes and uh you know

00:01:34hopefully the result's going to be the same you were surprised weren't you terry butcher uh warming up

00:01:39there well i think the thing is that when the uh changes were made in the last game which resulted

00:01:44in trevor stephen uh being on the side and terry coming off i think a lot of people thought

00:01:49probably bobby would stick that but i mean you know terry butcher has not let the country down

00:01:53over 10 years why should everybody now be assuming he's going to let the situation down now i personally

00:01:59think that the fellow has done so well for the country there's no reason why we should be in any

00:02:04shape or form frightened because terry butcher's selected he's he'll be in there don't worry he'll

00:02:09be leading those lads on tonight and i think we are all i was going to have to just carry

00:02:14on

00:02:14actually bobby and incidentally thanks to bobby moore for joining us who's in good voice and

00:02:18commentating for capital radio uh uh this evening well by mutual agreement as we all know bobby robson

00:02:24will be moving on after the world cup we all know that but what a marvelous prospect for bobby to

00:02:28go

00:02:28out right at the very top here he is with jim rosenthal we'll be aware tonight when we come out

00:02:35of that

00:02:35tunnel and up the steps and and hit the green pitch just what the match is about what we're not

00:02:42aware

00:02:43of here as you can see it's so peaceful and quiet i don't think we're aware of the the atmosphere

00:02:50uh and the desire of people people back home i mean we're conscious of it but we're not there we're

00:02:56not in the streets we're not down the high street we're not shopping we're not hitting the buzz are

00:02:59we we're not watching the television we're not listening to the radio all the time you know we're

00:03:03trying to kind of keep players uh not sedated but nice and quiet and getting our rest and just

00:03:09concentrating on the game if there's one thing above all that you're going to drum into your players

00:03:15drum into every one of those players before they face the west germans tonight what is it bobby

00:03:19i'd have to be we've got the technical ability it has to be spirit you know the thing that got

00:03:24us

00:03:25through against cameroon you know we hung on didn't give it up i've seen the i've seen brazil get

00:03:30through on artistry on football uh well we haven't quite got the artistry of brazil but we have other

00:03:36factors we had we had factors in at the end of the cameroon match which the cameroon team didn't

00:03:41have that's what got us through let's hope those factors play their part tonight good evening to you

00:03:45from london and besides bobby moore's 108 caps in turin we have another 179 here in the studio with

00:03:52jimmy greaves jeff hurst and gordon banks all part of that memorable winning campaign in the world cup

00:03:58finals of the 66 jeffrey are you feeling at all nervous i certainly am i said in 66 it's the

00:04:03crowd that's

00:04:04nervous playing you're not so bad it's your family and friends and the nation that are nervous and

00:04:08i'm part of the nation and one of the supporters tonight and i'm terribly nervous are you the same

00:04:12gordon yeah i'm like everybody i think in uh in britain uh rooting for england and uh we've got to

00:04:18this stage now very very crucial stage semi-final and uh we're rooting for them to go through yeah

00:04:23jim i haven't particularly noticed your knees knocking no um i'm quietly confident after yesterday

00:04:30anything can happen in this world cup can't it so let's hope for the best mate yeah i thought your

00:04:35teeth were chattering when you put them on the table this afternoon they were they were for a bit but

00:04:39that was when the air conditioning's on now it's warmed up i mean they're they're nice and just have

00:04:43a quick look at the message the shirt oh well the shirt is toe one in against the old foe

00:04:48gary it's

00:04:48going to be semi-tough but england can do it let's have the spirit of 66 that's what it's all

00:04:55about

00:04:55well let's just talk about the game itself now uh gordon first of all i'm sure you're going to have

00:04:59particular interest in peter shilton because of course i mean when he started he was an understudy

00:05:03to you wasn't he at leicester that's right at leicester nick um he signed as a schoolboy

00:05:06played for england and uh he then uh signed full-time for forms and here we've got a game

00:05:13against egypt a great save got down and the guy's only maybe four yards from gore it's a terrific game

00:05:18next one against the belgium and he gets down tremendously it's going in the bottom corner

00:05:23but to his credit he pushes it away from the goal fortunately right he comes in knocks it for a

00:05:28corner kick but the best one of all this one against the cameroons where the the guy's completely clear

00:05:33under no pressure at all peter stands up holds his ground and then goes for the block great save

00:05:39a lot of goalkeepers would have committed themselves there and then and and it would have been easy for

00:05:44the forward but he made the goal very very small i mean he's he's 40 years old now are you

00:05:48quite happy

00:05:49that he's still number one oh yeah that that's why he's there that's why he's selected and uh he's

00:05:54been doing his job for england they've conceded a very few goals uh over the last few years and uh

00:05:59he's had a great experience counts for a lot mate yeah jeff let's have a word about the germans now

00:06:04i'm

00:06:04sure you're interested in the danger men well they've got three danger men haven't they i mean

00:06:07loath and matthias particularly the captain here we see him in the middle of the park he gets from box

00:06:11to box magnificently very very quick he sets this this ball up wide i think it's to to clinsman

00:06:17and he finishes the move as well and for a small midfield player he gets a very very good header

00:06:22which really goes in the corner and he's is well respected by his fellow mates jürgen clinsman is

00:06:27not only a great player he's having a great world cup and he's a tremendous athlete look at the way

00:06:31he carries away from ricard here with the ball not even without it and carries on running carries on

00:06:36putting him under pressure and he's had a super world cup and we've got rudy voller who again scored

00:06:41in the final four years ago he's had a rest but being sent off he'll be very very fresh

00:06:45and every finish is on target again so you've got three world-class troublemakers tonight at least

00:06:51three to start with yeah are you astonished jim that the opponents in the final of england get

00:06:55there are going to be argentina i am totally disillusioned by this world cup after the

00:07:01archers won it last night i have to be honest i think it's a sad day for the world cup

00:07:05because

00:07:06we all wanted italy to get there regardless because it keeps the pot bubbling over there yeah also because

00:07:11they look to be the best side and argentina don't deserve to be there they've scraped their way

00:07:15through and italy got off to a reasonable start um it might have been a little bit offside but little

00:07:23scalachi knocked it in and they looked at cruising along for a decent win and then i think they allowed

00:07:31argentina they sat back as they normally do allow argentina to come on i don't know what zenga was doing

00:07:37there gordon would know but uh and then poor old donadonio i thought was one of the outstanding

00:07:43players in the italian side misses the pen and there's maradona i was praying for that to go in

00:07:51i don't think um and then i don't know they didn't do their own work because the keeper dived that

00:07:58way

00:07:58in the match against the yugoslavs and he dived that way in that game as well i'm very sad because

00:08:04they have scraped their way through yeah they did play well last night i thought they played

00:08:08reasonably well last night but where can you get a meal an italian meal in london tonight

00:08:14ain't a waiter in sight now just a brief word are you happy to see beardsley in the side tonight

00:08:18for

00:08:18england um not really but uh there you go you know it's um it's bobby robson's choice uh i've got

00:08:25to

00:08:25be honest peter beardsley wouldn't be mine but bobby obviously got a lot of confidence in him

00:08:31all i can say is that if i had a manager that looked like me i'd have got more caps

00:08:35probably jeff and gordon would have done as well i think clients agree with that with uh i thought

00:08:39travis steven would play on the right hand side yeah i think everyone which would help to occupy

00:08:43bremer not occupying but be more concerned about him i think steven would have given a better balance

00:08:48jeff you're quite right okay for the time being thanks very much back to turin after the break

00:09:02well like bobby robson this world cup marks the end for franz beckenbauer as national

00:09:07team manager hoping to become only the second man in history to win the world cup both as a manager

00:09:11and as a player tony francis reports on the most successful and charismatic figure in german football

00:09:19the urbane mr beckenbauer exudes that majestic slightly superior quality which characterized his

00:09:26play that's why they call him kaiser the emperor we first noticed him as a 20 year old in 1966

00:09:33the only attacking sweeper in the world but powerless as it happened to prevent jeff hurst and

00:09:40england from running away with the trophy four years later in mexico it was a different story

00:09:47beckenbauer's goal began to undermine peter bonetti's confidence and from 2-0 up england were on their

00:09:53way out of the world cup

00:09:57we hope we play the same good game like we did 20 years ago and also we try we try

00:10:07to win the game

00:10:08and to be in the final there was an outcry in some quarters when beckenbauer was given the national

00:10:14job six years ago he had no qualifications as a coach only a record 103 caps for his country

00:10:21failure in the european championships on home soil two years ago was a setback but he's recovered very

00:10:27well his squad's been together for 50 days now the atmosphere is marvelous you can tell and the

00:10:34football has been by far the most impressive of the tournament italian clubs are falling over

00:10:39themselves to buy his players and it's no wonder here's book file the big defender

00:10:46litbarsky coming up in support

00:10:57his nonchalance belies a fierce determination to win the world cup again for germany

00:11:01and england's victory over the cameroons is exactly what he wanted cameroon is a very very

00:11:07uncomfortable uh team and it's it's not our style it's not our european style and we it's very very

00:11:15difficult to play against them so and also the english team we know everybody very very well so

00:11:23it's easier for us to play against england so there after the tournament the emperor hands the team

00:11:29over to bertie volks another world cup veteran while he repairs to his home in the austrian ski resort of

00:11:35kitzbühel before deciding what to do next marketing executive to the german football association club

00:11:43manager in the middle east or possibly u.s national team supremo that's if his command of the language is

00:11:50okay

00:11:52well there we are the great man kaiser franz franz beckenbauer but what about the the general

00:11:57for west germany out on the pitch these days graham lothar matthias well i mean arguably he's the best

00:12:03all-round midfield player in the world now and in terms of the team that beckenbauer has selected

00:12:10it looks to me as if he's providing matthias with a lot of midfield support what would concern me a

00:12:16little

00:12:17bit is how are we going to prevent this man with his very strong surging runs getting into the heart

00:12:22of us you tell me i can't tell you at the present time i'm going to watch and wait and

00:12:28see because

00:12:28it's just as important we create problems to them but matthias is a danger to us there's no doubt about

00:12:34that as i say he's selected other midfield players to give him that support it's a battle it's at the

00:12:41highest level that's what can david black keep an eye on him and also get forward into damaging

00:12:45positions as far as we're concerned i don't think that that is going to be the case i think that

00:12:49beckenbauer selected people to take care of the plat and to take care of gascoigne in the hope and

00:12:57the belief that england haven't selected someone to take care of matthias now on paper at the moment

00:13:03elton it looks that way and that's a little bit of a concern i think for any englishman what about

00:13:09peter beardsley up alongside gary lineker now you know lineker's happy with beardsley isn't he

00:13:13well i think that is as much to do with just exactly what you've said i think that gary lineker

00:13:18and peter beardsley now over the last four years have created a partnership where they're happy with

00:13:24one another and therefore i would read as much into peter beardsley's selection as to gary lineker

00:13:30being happy in terms of peter being able to hold up the ball make the kind of little runs that

00:13:35create

00:13:35space for gary and gary's aware of that it's been a partnership that has worked together more

00:13:41successfully than not over the last four years so i see little wrong as to why not play it in

00:13:46the

00:13:46semi-final of the world cup tell you what it's it's not full but there's a real buzz around this

00:13:51place

00:13:52maybe it's just because we're being very patriotic very jingoistic or whatever but i'm so excited why

00:13:57shouldn't we be i mean i'm hoping back home now i mean we're reading out here there's probably overall

00:14:02going to be 30 million people watching uh television tonight quite right and let's get in there and

00:14:08look for that win it's there's nothing wrong with being patriotic there's nothing wrong with wanting

00:14:14your team to win and i'm as excited as anybody else because i'm a spectator like yourself as well as

00:14:19looking at what i suppose people would say the professional side of things but this is the big thing

00:14:24isn't it it's a big game it's a big occasion and we're in there at long last we're in there

00:14:28well

00:14:29we've got another england fan who's just literally i was going to say walked in to join us i'm sure

00:14:34he's probably run i mean steve cramp great to see you steve isn't it nice to be here well i'm

00:14:38delighted

00:14:39i had a little bit with my wife about a month ago she said england will not even get the

00:14:43semi-final

00:14:44she said but if they do you can go and watch them so here i am delighted to be here

00:14:48and hope they have

00:14:48a good game in your view as a sudden supporters a very knowledgeable man about football what are the

00:14:52prospects well i think it's obviously going to be a tough game but i think the lads will be happy

00:14:58to be

00:14:58starting as underdogs i know in uh in running terms it's always better to be in that position

00:15:02and i think playing the germans will suit us a little bit more than playing against the cameroons

00:15:07our style of play and a great atmosphere here tonight and the lads have got a chance you know and

00:15:12i know if um if i was running that you love occasions like this you love the big match

00:15:17atmosphere hopefully they can turn it on today and do the business maybe even fairer question to

00:15:22you what about stamina it's now it's not as hot as it was last night for example but it's still

00:15:25going to be quite energy sapping isn't it out there well it's not so much a one-off like this

00:15:30i mean the lads have obviously had a few hard games and it it does catch up with you at

00:15:33some stage i

00:15:34mean i read i don't know if it's true that gary linick lost up to a stone in weight and

00:15:37if you're

00:15:38losing that amount of fluid it does have an effect on you um so hopefully tonight we can maybe get

00:15:42a

00:15:43result in 90 minutes and they won't have to go all the way because i think the germans have had

00:15:45a

00:15:46slightly easier passage than we have but you know they're professional footballers they're very very fit guys

00:15:51and i'm sure they'll give a hundred percent i don't know whether you know this but uh sunderland's

00:15:55first game back in division one is away to norwich now it's a little nice little training run for you

00:16:00just to get you limbered up later on well i've just heard that this evening so i'm quite happy because

00:16:05actually um i'm hoping to be at the european championship since split when the first game

00:16:09of the season starts so i'm happy it's away from home i'm not going to miss anything very strong

00:16:13geordie representation of course down there on the pitch tonight you'll be rooting for them especially will

00:16:17you yeah there's gaza chris waddle peter beardsley not mention the manager so um there's a very strong

00:16:23northeastern contingent great following back home everybody's behind them let's hope they can do it

00:16:28tonight i think graham that's that's one point which is stevie's just mentioned there and i think bobby

00:16:33mentioned in his interview as well that over here you're not quite as aware of the excitement the

00:16:38expectancy that the great sort of national feeling that there is surrounding this game well perhaps not

00:16:43but i think by now it will have got through to the players i mean in the early stages they're

00:16:48in

00:16:49sardinia away from things apparently they're now on the mainland they've got to a semi-final stage which

00:16:54many many people did not think they were going to do i think they'll be aware of it now uh

00:16:59i'll be

00:16:59surprised if they're not graham let's have a look at the the german side uh stay with us steve for

00:17:05a couple

00:17:05of moments let's have a quick look at the the german side now what do you what do you make

00:17:08of beckenbauer's

00:17:09lineup tonight well i mentioned earlier you know looking at the selection i don't think there's

00:17:14many people would have guessed his selection litbask is not even on the substitutes bench

00:17:19i he's got voller and he's got klinsman up front and he's packed his side with midfield

00:17:24players coming on from behind the ball that my one concern is that i think it gives matias support for

00:17:31him to get forward more and i think that also he will have selected uh players that's beckenbauer to

00:17:38possibly man mark gascoyne and perhaps like to get with platte as well now if that happens and we

00:17:45still are not in there with matias i i'm just a little bit concerned about that because there's no

00:17:51doubt about it both the germans and the italians they do take a lot of concern about the opposition

00:17:58and they do select sides to take into account the opposition now the italians got it wrong let's hope the

00:18:05germans have got it wrong eh just a quick word now with with gordon banks and jeff hurst in london

00:18:10i mean lads german teams have always played with great method haven't they do you think that this

00:18:15german team uh on its day has possibly got more flair than in previous years yes it looks at the

00:18:21moment

00:18:21like an outstanding team no question at all about that a very very powerful side physically what impressed

00:18:26me apart from their skill is the fact that all of them can get up and down the park as

00:18:30tremendous

00:18:31athletes and it's it's a superb test tonight if they win the world cup um which we hope they're

00:18:36not going to get past tonight they could be regarded as one of the the best german sides of all

00:18:40time in

00:18:40my opinion yeah i think they're more or less the same sort of uh style and everything that that we

00:18:46played against in our time very strong as as a side they defend well together they attack well together

00:18:52a lot of stamina and a lot of skill i think we've got to remember that when and i think

00:18:58england the lift

00:18:59that i think they'll get in this particular game is that of course argentina won yesterday the

00:19:06underdogs and of course england can win tonight

00:19:13thanks very much just a last quick word from steve crown before we let him go and enjoy the match

00:19:18and

00:19:18the atmosphere what do you make of the german steve from what you've seen on television so far

00:19:23well i think undoubtedly they've probably been uh the best sides uh in the competition so far but you

00:19:29know i think people have said they've scored goals against some defenses maybe as good as

00:19:34um the attacking side of things so hopefully we can exploit that we we've maybe not done as well going

00:19:40forward as we would have liked to have done in previous games hopefully tonight we can do it

00:19:43steve many thanks for being with us and i hope you have a great season as well

00:19:47and a great night for england building up

00:19:50as the teams are just about to appear to this uh crown i would estimate in turin tonight to be

00:19:57round about the 50 000 mark it's i'm only hazarding a guess but i would think the capacity here

00:20:04is about 80 it falls a few below that but all of them supporting either england or west germany one

00:20:10or two more germans one would expect because it is

00:20:13maybe only three or four hours drive uh across the border and down here yes but at the present

00:20:18time uh the english supporters are making the more noise and that's that's good news to us as well

00:20:24as the players in the dressing room i mean in one respect i hope that the germans are expecting

00:20:29to win this game because i think that in itself may help us uh there's no doubt about it that

00:20:35the germans

00:20:36have shown themselves to be a very good side but sometimes their confidence can go in to complacency

00:20:42they can become overconfident in their own ability arrogance the word i'd use well you can use that

00:20:49i might not use it but you can use that word and i'm sure people understand what we're saying but

00:20:54this is as far as we're concerned the people back home this is now the game isn't it that possibly

00:21:01will

00:21:01take us into the world cup and put into the world cup final and possibly win it but you can't

00:21:07look

00:21:07any further ahead now um than the next 90 minutes and i'm sure every england player out there will be

00:21:15looking to get hold of the game but as i've said previously as much as we're excited as much as

00:21:21we want

00:21:22the game talking to steve cram earlier you've still got to keep that little cold clear bit in your mind

00:21:28so that in fact you're professional enough when the heat's really on elton you've got to know what

00:21:33you're doing graham thanks very much indeed the tension's mounting here we're ready for the national

00:21:39anthems

00:21:45we will now listen to the national anthem performed by the band of the italian air force

00:22:14the national anthem

00:30:40Waddle's made a little dart in there as well.

00:30:44And it's a nice, fluid, positive start by England.

00:30:49Curler now to Berthold.

00:30:54This is Hessler.

00:30:57Soon to come and play here for Juventus.

00:31:03Stadium in Turin, of course, shared by Torino and Juventus.

00:31:09Followers making the run. Butcher spotted it.

00:31:12Took it well. Back now, back in support.

00:31:15Finds Beardsley, also supporting.

00:31:18Waddle playing it wide for Paul Parker.

00:31:23Came off for Gascoigne.

00:31:27Algantara ill at ease there.

00:31:28Hustled by Beardsley.

00:31:30And couldn't even get it through there again.

00:31:32Gascoigne now looking to get a shot in and almost succeeded in making it.

00:31:37And the Germans at the moment so uncharacteristically at sixes and sevens.

00:31:42But here's Hessler.

00:31:44Outside him is Berthold.

00:31:46Ahead of him is Rudi Voller.

00:31:49Voller's making the break.

00:31:52There's no shortage of pace so far as Des Warp is concerned.

00:31:56Voller felt that that came off the English defender.

00:32:00But as a man who's just come back from a one-match suspense and not prepared to argue with the

00:32:04officials.

00:32:06Ron Atkinson?

00:32:07Yes, it looks very much as if...

00:32:08Changed it slightly at the back today.

00:32:10Same three players occupying the back three positions for England.

00:32:13But slightly different pattern.

00:32:15Walker's going man-to-man against Voller.

00:32:18Mark Wright staying with Klinsmann.

00:32:19And Butcher's going to be the spare man at the back by the look of it.

00:32:22Makes sense to me because both Wright and Walker are quicker players than Terry Butcher.

00:32:27Terry Butcher will just be needed there to stand and organize and use his experience.

00:32:32Matthias.

00:32:34Gascoigne was pursuing him.

00:32:37Bulfold to Bremer.

00:32:41Klinsmann.

00:32:42Trying to turn Wright.

00:32:44Wright stuck well with him there.

00:32:45And no foul.

00:32:46The Brazilian referee.

00:32:49Jose Ramiz Wright.

00:32:52Has shown himself, in fact, to be one of the better referees in this World Cup tournament.

00:33:01Parker.

00:33:02A good ball from Butcher.

00:33:06Waller.

00:33:09Look twice at him.

00:33:10He's had the most savage haircut.

00:33:12Which I gather he did for charity.

00:33:13And made quite a few thousand pounds out of it.

00:33:15Lineker offside.

00:33:18He's also got a very, very important role to play tonight.

00:33:21Inasmuch as one of their key attacking figures is the number three Bremer.

00:33:25And it's so important for me that Waddle occupies him.

00:33:28Doesn't blame that infuriating deep position.

00:33:31That's neither here nor there, Brian.

00:33:33But actually has a go in a positive way.

00:33:35To keep their left back doing what he should be doing.

00:33:36Defending.

00:33:38Beardsley doing good work again.

00:33:39Getting really into the mood of this game, Peter Beardsley.

00:33:42But Gascoigne dispossessed by Hessler.

00:33:45He's after him now.

00:33:46But Hessler moved sweetly.

00:33:48Turned away from Gascoigne.

00:33:50Finds his captain Matthias.

00:33:51And in turn it's to Bremer.

00:33:54Lola on the far side.

00:33:55Walker's followed him out there.

00:33:57And succeeds in getting the tackle in.

00:33:59But he was pushing at the German striker.

00:34:01So it'll be a free kick to the West Germans.

00:34:07Parker supporting.

00:34:08The ball just in play up towards Lineker.

00:34:10Don't worry, the Germans will know all about Lineker.

00:34:13And they will be just that little bit frightened every time the ball goes towards him.

00:34:16He's in good form at the moment.

00:34:22Hits Waddle with the free kick.

00:34:26Hits Waddle with the free kick.

00:34:26In fact, both Waddle and...

00:34:32Gascoigne leaving it for Butcher.

00:34:36A throw to England.

00:34:46Fence going to Parker.

00:34:49To Waddle.

00:34:50To Waddle.

00:34:50Good play back, this one.

00:34:52Paul Parker taking it on.

00:34:53Can he get across in?

00:34:54No, it's a goal kick to the West Germans.

00:35:01and it's not a full house here and if you find yourself sitting on the edge of your seats at

00:35:07home don't worry I'm sure that there are millions in our country doing the same it's whatever you

00:35:12think or don't think of our national game it's this sort of night that draws us all together

00:35:16we all seem to be in this together as we shout on the lads in white hoping that Bobby Robson's

00:35:23team can find their way to that World Cup final against Maradona and Argentina in the Olympic

00:35:28stadium in Rome on Sunday evening it's with Waller

00:35:36now Butcher

00:35:39Robson holds such store by Terry Butcher he's known him from way back through his days at Ipswich

00:35:48and Olaf Ton

00:35:52in caution for the challenge on Chris Waddle

00:35:56here's Parker trying to get the ball into Lineker

00:36:01Beardsley up there with him now can Lineker cross it in it's a little too high for Beardsley and the

00:36:05Germans get it away up as far as Rudy Waller

00:36:09into the path of Hesler Klinsmann now he's got real speed right we'll have to motor to stay with him

00:36:19comes through to Butcher and then successfully through to Peter Schulte this looks like a problem area for us is

00:36:26going to be um little Hesler um player that I was hoping would play in this tournament because

00:36:31it's uh somebody I thought would be one of the stars of the tournament

00:36:36onside Beardsley the linesman on the far side kept his flag down

00:36:39Lineker's in a strong position as well Beardsley tried the shot the angle was far too uh severe

00:36:45they're having a lot of problems of germs at the back with when we make those little darting runs into

00:36:49the channels

00:36:50behind their uh fullback areas because uh Argantyler doesn't seem to know possibly should have crossed that a little bit

00:36:56better

00:36:56Argantyler doesn't seem to know whether to flatten out with his two marking defenders and he's playing everybody onside

00:37:01just to revert back quickly to that point I was making about Hesler

00:37:05when Platt goes forward it does leave a big hole in there Brian and I would just be worried whether

00:37:09Hesler has the ability

00:37:10which I know he has to come forward and break out of there and perhaps sometimes

00:37:14he and Berthold will find themselves going two against one um against Pierce

00:37:18well here's Hesler on the ball at the moment

00:37:20just over ten minutes of the game gone if you've just joined us here in Turin

00:37:25England 0 West Germany 0

00:37:28England in the World Cup semi-finals for the first time in 24 years

00:37:33this is West Germany's ninth World Cup semi-final

00:37:36they have an amazing record

00:37:39only twice since 1966 have they failed to reach the final itself in 1970 and 78

00:37:47here's a long way back to Peter Shilton

00:37:51and the police surely in evidence here some 7,000 we're told on duty here tonight

00:38:00Waddle the long ball forward

00:38:02Platt has gone

00:38:04chasing after it

00:38:06well he's turned to Algenthaler but Algenthaler in the end gets it back successfully to his goalkeeper

00:38:15well actually for me I think this is the best we've played since we've been out in Italy

00:38:18it's been a tremendous bright start that little run of Platt is there he cut them to ribbons with the

00:38:23run

00:38:23and they would they had to defend very very well just to prevent anything happening

00:38:26in the meantime it's Berthold as the West Germans now come forward

00:38:29Hessler being watched by Terry Butcher

00:38:33sidesteps Butcher once and then does it again

00:38:35there's the shot it could deflects on the defender

00:38:37and just wide of the goal there for a corner to the West Germans

00:38:42well Hessler showing us some of his wares there

00:38:45twice turning Terry Butcher

00:38:50and Bremer will take the corner

00:38:53there he is turning Butcher for the second time

00:38:55and the deflection probably just coming off Stuart Pearce and just beyond Shilton for the corner to West Germany

00:39:02Wolder in there Berthold in there Klinsmann a good header of the ball

00:39:06Buchwald up from the back

00:39:07but Buchwald didn't get a touch on it because Butcher was way ahead of him

00:39:13here's Hessler again the man who caused the problems a moment ago

00:39:20Matthäus spraying it wide this time to Bremer

00:39:25into Klinsmann and Wolder's after it

00:39:30I think you saw there very much of a German trait as well

00:39:33both Klinsmann when he laid the ball off and Wolder when he nearly got to the ball

00:39:36both went very very dangerously to ground

00:39:39they have got this habit or infuriating habit for me

00:39:42of trying to buy situations just outside the penalty area

00:39:49Parker for England

00:39:55to Wolder

00:39:58Parker stopped that time by Bremer then Parker had the last word

00:40:01no the last word came from the referee who's given the free kick to the West Germans

00:40:07several players tonight

00:40:09treading really on red-hot coals with one booking

00:40:12another one tonight means of course they would miss the final

00:40:16McMahon, Beardsley, Pearce and Gascoigne for England

00:40:20Berthold, Matthäus and Klinsmann for the West Germans

00:40:23they cannot afford to step out of line even once

00:40:28but battling well

00:40:29losing it though to Argental

00:40:31and the striker still sweep has come forward

00:40:33Matthäus almost got on the end of it

00:40:34but Barker was in very neatly indeed for England

00:40:42it's Pearce

00:40:46who's had a good World Cup for Stuart Pearce

00:40:48but that pass not quite getting to Gary Lineker

00:40:52this is Parker

00:40:55Waddle

00:40:57Parker

00:41:00Butcher to Gascoigne

00:41:02that's not a bad ball forward to Waddle

00:41:04Waddle in one of those advanced positions

00:41:07and we hope we see a lot more of that tonight

00:41:11Parker to throw

00:41:22Roze

00:41:22Waddle

00:41:24Waddle

00:41:24going ground-brainer

00:41:25now what about the cross

00:41:26Lineker can't quite get to it

00:41:27the clap couldn't quite get to it

00:41:29didn't quite reach Lineker

00:41:30and Matthäus hooks it away for the West Germans

00:41:33Butcher's header

00:41:34got enough purchase on it to find Gascoigne

00:41:36Gascoigne.

00:41:48England having shown great stickability in their matches so far,

00:41:52without showing really their true form.

00:41:55The indestructible English, the Italian papers were calling them today.

00:41:58But tonight, so far at any rate, showing just a little bit of style

00:42:01to go with that stickability.

00:42:03But Matthäus.

00:42:06Now Klinsmann.

00:42:07Vollers off on the break.

00:42:11Then Wright chooses his moment to perfection,

00:42:15takes it away from Hessler.

00:42:18Got Pearce available.

00:42:21I think that's the important thing with Klinsmann.

00:42:23Wright was brilliant there.

00:42:24You don't dive in at him, let him make the first move.

00:42:27I think if you dive in at Klinsmann, he'll pick you off.

00:42:29But if you make him make the first move,

00:42:31you've got a fair, better than even winning chance of winning it.

00:42:34Köhler.

00:42:34To Klinsmann.

00:42:36Köhler.

00:42:36Follows up front.

00:42:38Heardhold on the right here.

00:42:39And away on the far side is Klinsmann.

00:42:43And just for a moment, the English defence gave him far too much space.

00:42:48A little warning sign there, Ron.

00:42:50Yes, that's the problem.

00:42:51I mean, if you're playing man-to-man marking, a rigid man-to-man marking,

00:42:54which we look as if we're going to do,

00:42:55it's so important that you stick to your responsibilities.

00:42:58Mark Wright got involved in the earlier play.

00:43:00Klinsmann left him on a run.

00:43:01All of a sudden, Mark Wright was left on one side of the field,

00:43:03the opposite side of the field to Klinsmann.

00:43:05It is very much a rigid discipline if you're going to be the marker.

00:43:09Lineker to Beardsley.

00:43:09Nice touch.

00:43:10Now, can Gary Lineker get a shot in here?

00:43:12Could David Platt also?

00:43:14That's not a bad ball for Pearce.

00:43:17Crossed in once more,

00:43:18and Lineker almost getting on the end of it.

00:43:21And this really is a good start for England.

00:43:23Sixteen minutes of the game gone.

00:43:26Still 0-0.

00:43:27What is encouraging as well, Brian?

00:43:28They look so suspect at the back.

00:43:30This is brilliant interplay.

00:43:32We beat the sweeper system.

00:43:34Gary Lineker's nearly done what he's good at,

00:43:35getting first to the ball in the box.

00:43:37Butcher at the near post.

00:43:39Lineker just behind him, Platt just behind it,

00:43:41but not the best of corners that time from Peter Beardsley.

00:43:44He holds his hand up and realises.

00:43:47And it'll be a throw to England.

00:43:59For all that, the West German record in these championships

00:44:02have been very good indeed.

00:44:03Beacon, Yugoslavia 4-1,

00:44:05the United Arab Emirates 5-1,

00:44:07then a 1-1 against Colombia.

00:44:08They beat Holland in the second phase game,

00:44:10and then the Czechs in the quarter-final.

00:44:12They scored 13 goals, conceded only four.

00:44:17Pearce with a long throw.

00:44:18Butcher trying to get in there and make something of it.

00:44:22Pearce up again with a header.

00:44:23Butcher staying in there.

00:44:27Suddenly there are

00:44:29forwards springing forward.

00:44:32Walker kept his head well,

00:44:34gets it back quite comfortably to Peter Shilton.

00:44:53West German throw.

00:45:00Now, Klaus Argenthaler.

00:45:03To Jurgen Kohler for the West Germans.

00:45:06Argenthaler again.

00:45:07Regular goal scorer for Bayern Munich,

00:45:10but he's never scored a goal for his country.

00:45:13For a moment, as though he might have fancied a shot then,

00:45:16but in the end tried the little pass through to Völler.

00:45:19England defending well.

00:45:22Gascoigne.

00:45:24To Platt.

00:45:27Good ball there to Lineker.

00:45:29Inch perfect there for Gary Lineker.

00:45:32Waddell's made a terrific break as well.

00:45:36Waddell twisting, turning.

00:45:38Eventually finds Lineker.

00:45:41And Lineker gets his cross in.

00:45:44Paul Parker on the far side up with a header.

00:45:46Goal kick.

00:45:51Well, one or two of the German players

00:45:53have been fairly dismissive over the last couple of days.

00:45:55Talking about England's style being old fashioned

00:45:58and a bit out of date.

00:46:00And not really playing the modern game,

00:46:03but they've had one or two owners to think on those words

00:46:06in the opening 19 minutes.

00:46:14Olef Thorn to Thomas Berthold.

00:46:17Thorn again.

00:46:20To Völler.

00:46:21Thorn.

00:46:23Klinsmann.

00:46:24No foul.

00:46:26Yes point.

00:46:28Yes.

00:46:31He could just flicking it on, but there's no support up there for him.

00:46:36And Algenthaler can bring it forward again.

00:46:41Andy Bremer.

00:46:45To Berthold.

00:46:48Oh, there's a slip there.

00:46:49Berthold might care to go all the way.

00:46:51It was Gascoigne who slipped disastrously there.

00:46:53Bremer playing it in once more.

00:46:55Walker just getting a touch on that one.

00:46:59And a throw to the West Germans.

00:47:03Olef Thorn with it.

00:47:0620 minutes of the game gone in this first half.

00:47:09Still 0-0.

00:47:11Esler to Tone.

00:47:16And a corner for the West Germans.

00:47:19It came off Stuart Pearce.

00:47:24And Mateus will take it.

00:47:34Said to be 10,000 English fans in the stadium.

00:47:3740,000 from West Germany.

00:47:41Now for Mateus.

00:47:45Walker got it away.

00:47:47Hesler to Bremer.

00:47:49Good left foot on him.

00:47:51The way we make.

00:47:53We make.

00:47:54Right control to Vola.

00:47:56Slip again there by Stuart Pearce.

00:48:00And a hand ball and a free kick.

00:48:05Jimmy Greaves in London.

00:48:06Quite a bright start then by the men in white.

00:48:08Oh Brian, this is a magnificent start.

00:48:10This is the best start that we have had in this World Cup Finals by a long way.

00:48:16And what we've just got to do is keep plugging away.

00:48:20And keep having the faith in ourselves that we've obviously got.

00:48:24And just be patient.

00:48:26Don't let's give anything away.

00:48:28Let's keep it to either back.

00:48:30Just let's keep playing the way we're playing.

00:48:32Because I think we've got them looking very shaky indeed.

00:48:36But here come the West Germans now.

00:48:39It's Tone making a tremendous break.

00:48:41Klinsmann outside him.

00:48:44Tone again.

00:48:47And a goal kick.

00:48:51Yes, it's the best form England that was shown certainly in this World Cup 90.

00:48:56And it was curious really Ron Atkinson that the Argentines who Argentinians who've been lumbering along and somehow staying in

00:49:04goodness knows how in the tournament.

00:49:06They in fact in the semi-final put on a performance that was far better than anything they'd shown before

00:49:10to beat the Italians last night.

00:49:11That's right. I think there's many of the teams that are much more much knows.

00:49:15We've stuck at it.

00:49:16You used a good word there.

00:49:17Stickability earlier on.

00:49:18But we've always felt, haven't we, that England have a performance in them.

00:49:21Tonight hopefully this will be that performance.

00:49:25Berthold who was injured in the clash with Stuart Pearce.

00:49:30Certainly the encouraging signs there are like Peter Bersley's had a nightmare on the trip.

00:49:33Now all of a sudden he's looking to be bright and zestful.

00:49:36The runs he, Lineker and David Platt are making down the sides of their centre-backs.

00:49:40Give you hope every time that there's something at the end of it.

00:49:45It's Bremer.

00:49:47To Algenthaler.

00:49:52Troubles here as Mateus brings it forwards.

00:49:57It was Hassler.

00:49:58And now here's Waddle.

00:50:02To Lennikov.

00:50:06Stop by Bremer.

00:50:07No foul.

00:50:08Play on, said the referee.

00:50:09There's a lot of movement in this game now.

00:50:11A lot of good movement thanks to a lot of sensible refereeing.

00:50:14Now this is Mateus.

00:50:17The Hassler.

00:50:18Flicked on there to Bremer.

00:50:20Beardsley getting in.

00:50:21That's a characteristic move of Beardsley.

00:50:23Getting in there, just nicking the ball away.

00:50:26Parker playing it forward to Gascoigne.

00:50:27Giving Waddle very little chance actually.

00:50:30But there was a foul.

00:50:31And a free kick to England.

00:50:40It's Butcher.

00:50:44Waddle.

00:51:07For that.

00:51:15Offence

00:51:20Curled in there towards right

00:51:21Who nearly got a touch on it

00:51:24Gascoigne hit powerfully there

00:51:25Into the arms

00:51:28Of the German goalkeeper

00:51:33Fine, that's encouraging as well

00:51:35The England bench must be pretty confident

00:51:37That's another good effort from Gascoigne

00:51:39Good to see midfield players backing up outside the box

00:51:42But the England bench must be very

00:51:44Very happy with Mark Wright

00:51:46The very fact that he's been sent up for every second

00:51:49Doesn't look as if they're too concerned

00:51:50About him splitting his head again, Brian

00:51:53Well, here's Hesler

00:51:55Black was at him

00:51:57Algentala for the West Germans

00:52:03And Butcher can shepherd that one back quite comfortably

00:52:06To Peter Schiltern

00:52:18Yes, lovely ball

00:52:20Hit with the outside of the boot

00:52:21And Gascoigne read it perfectly

00:52:23Will that go for the corner

00:52:25And I think there was a foul by Gascoigne

00:52:28Or was it by Buchwald

00:52:29No, it's given England's way

00:52:32I think he's good at that young Gascoigne

00:52:33Getting people round the sides of the box

00:52:35And if he can't beat them

00:52:36He's got that Klinsmann-like habit

00:52:38Of just being able to run into a defender

00:52:40Watch this

00:52:41He's made sure he's collided with the defender

00:52:43He's bought a free kick there

00:52:44But he does it quite well to be fair to the kid

00:52:47Well, let's see what he can do with the free kick

00:52:48Now, Gascoigne with it

00:52:49Butcher's in there

00:52:51Plats in there

00:52:52Right with a plaster over his eyes

00:52:53In there

00:52:57Gascoigne's free kick

00:52:58Floated there

00:53:00And

00:53:01Ilgner gathering it

00:53:03High above his head

00:53:04But there was an offside

00:53:05It's a free kick to the West Germans

00:53:20Aragantala

00:53:20There's Beardsley after him again

00:53:22And after him again

00:53:23And still Beardsley goes

00:53:24Just nicks the ball away from him

00:53:26But it goes again to the West Germans

00:53:27Matthias now

00:53:28Spreading it wide

00:53:30Once more to Bremer

00:53:33A little space here for Hestos

00:53:35Treads on the ball

00:53:35And Butcher was in in an instant

00:53:37And Lineker pulled away

00:53:39Over on the left-hand side

00:53:40Gascoigne now picking it up

00:53:44Foul again on Gascoigne

00:53:45That time by Tone

00:53:46And another free kick to England

00:53:5027 minutes gone

00:53:52England are quitting themselves well

00:53:54But it's still scoreless

00:53:56Here in Turin

00:53:57In this World Cup semi-final

00:53:58Paul Parker for England

00:54:00On the far side

00:54:00Cut out easily though

00:54:01By Bremer this time

00:54:02Tries to get it forward

00:54:03Walker there

00:54:04Again quick to respond

00:54:06And getting in ahead of

00:54:08Klinsmann

00:54:14Walker again getting the touch

00:54:15Klinsmann trying to get away

00:54:16Trying to bring

00:54:17Voller into the play

00:54:18Here's Klinsmann

00:54:21And now Fairtold

00:54:25Charged down beautifully

00:54:26By Pearce

00:54:27And it'll come for Beardsley

00:54:29Now Guntala's at his back

00:54:32Played in for

00:54:33Platt

00:54:36Gascoigne

00:54:36And away goes Platt

00:54:39He's only got Lineker up

00:54:40Although Waddle's making a great break

00:54:41As well as with David Platt

00:54:43He might want to go all the way

00:54:44In the end he tried just too much

00:54:46A look of disappointment

00:54:48On the face of Chris Waddle

00:54:49Who'd made such a break for him

00:54:50In actual fact Brian

00:54:52I think Chris Waddle

00:54:53Made a bad run there

00:54:53He actually took the space

00:54:54That Platt he wanted

00:54:55I think it'd have been better

00:54:57Running wider

00:54:57And giving Platt more options

00:55:00Matthäus

00:55:01For West Germany

00:55:02Sorry Ron

00:55:02He tightened it down very much

00:55:04I mean David Platt

00:55:04Would have liked the option

00:55:05To have either had a go

00:55:06At the last man

00:55:07Or indeed to have joined up

00:55:09With Waddle

00:55:09But Waddle took the space there

00:55:11But encouraging to see

00:55:12Waddle at least run forward

00:55:15Algenthal

00:55:17In the end it came to Nuffel

00:55:21Brookwald

00:55:22The big defender right forward

00:55:23Bringing Berthold into the play

00:55:25Klinsmann and Waddle

00:55:26Waiting in the middle

00:55:26And Ton's in there too

00:55:28And it was

00:55:30Poor work again by the West Germans

00:55:32As Gascoigne takes it up again

00:55:33For England

00:55:35Backed up by Beardsley

00:55:37A little chip by him

00:55:38Finding Gascoigne again

00:55:39Beardsley's gone on his run

00:55:42And Gascoigne tried too much

00:55:44And was unable to put it anywhere

00:55:47Other than to Buchwald

00:55:49Here's Matthäus

00:55:53Esla

00:55:55Bremer

00:56:00Agenthaler to Köhler

00:56:04Buchwald

00:56:11Manage has made a brave decision

00:56:13You would think

00:56:13Bearing in mind

00:56:15We've talked about Matthäus

00:56:17Oh here's Waddle away

00:56:18Schiltern off his line

00:56:20Oh Waddle still there

00:56:22Terrific work again by Gascoigne

00:56:24That really saved England's bacon

00:56:26Because Waddle had turned

00:56:27And Schiltern was out of his goal

00:56:29And the cross had gone through

00:56:31Goodness knows what Klinsmann

00:56:32Would have done to it

00:56:33But Gascoigne did some

00:56:34Terrific defending there

00:56:35For England

00:56:37Rudy Boller again

00:56:38Cross coming in towards Klinsmann

00:56:40Who's usually good in the air

00:56:41But beaten that time

00:56:42Parker

00:56:43Completing the clearance

00:56:46Now Bremer

00:56:49Spell of pressure here

00:56:49From the West Germans

00:56:51Agenthaler

00:56:53Long range shot

00:56:54Goal kick to England

00:56:55He's been doing that

00:56:56A fair amount

00:56:56As he's stepping through

00:56:57And you just wondered

00:56:58When he was going to

00:56:59Unleash one of those

00:57:00I think if you remember

00:57:01Games against Glasgow Rangers

00:57:03You've seen him do it

00:57:04Once or twice

00:57:04We've hit miracle goals

00:57:06But he's allowing

00:57:07To come through us now

00:57:08That could be

00:57:09That's a great ball

00:57:10Through there

00:57:10I think Peter Schilt

00:57:11Was a little bit frightened

00:57:12Of knocking him down

00:57:13There in the box

00:57:14You know

00:57:15Gamble to try and push him

00:57:16Away from

00:57:19Goal

00:57:20Beartold

00:57:21Esther

00:57:22Just to go back

00:57:23To that earlier point

00:57:24It is a brave decision

00:57:26I think by

00:57:26Bobby Robson

00:57:28Not to

00:57:28Not to put someone

00:57:30In marking

00:57:30Matthias

00:57:31We generally reckon

00:57:32To be the best

00:57:33Midfield player

00:57:34In the tournament

00:57:34And yet the nearest

00:57:36Marker he's had

00:57:36In most occasions

00:57:37Has been in fact

00:57:38Chris Wadden

00:57:39Half an hour gone

00:57:40Still 0-0

00:57:45To the goal

00:57:46Coming forward

00:57:46Braymond

00:57:48To

00:57:50Downside of the boot

00:57:51They're trying to get

00:57:52Klinsman away

00:57:53Bright covered it well

00:57:54For England

00:57:58West German is through

00:58:00Braymond will take it

00:58:12On to the left foot

00:58:13He's always more comfortable

00:58:14With that

00:58:14Walker gets it away

00:58:17Beardsley chasing

00:58:19And doing well

00:58:20Lineker loves playing up front

00:58:21With Beardsley

00:58:22And at the moment

00:58:22This is an excellent

00:58:23Combination

00:58:24Now can Beardsley

00:58:25Finish it off

00:58:26Well he's picked up

00:58:27Waddle here

00:58:31Outside of the boot

00:58:32Lineker's

00:58:33Hello

00:58:33Platt

00:58:34Couldn't get on the end

00:58:35Of it

00:58:35Pierce

00:58:36A blockbuster

00:58:36Possibly

00:58:38And in the end

00:58:39On to his

00:58:40Less favoured foot

00:58:42And a goal kick

00:58:43But again

00:58:44The Germans slow

00:58:45To

00:58:46Come and mark

00:58:47Them in there

00:58:48Yeah and I think

00:58:48Peter Beardsley's

00:58:49Made a hell of a difference

00:58:50This is Peter Beardsley

00:58:51Playing tonight

00:58:52It's not

00:58:53Alright we'll see

00:58:54Waddle

00:58:54Good ball in from Waddle

00:58:55Lineker's very unlucky

00:58:56To miss that

00:58:57As indeed is

00:58:57Platt on the second ball

00:58:59Then we see

00:59:01We'll see Pierce

00:59:02Just not quite

00:59:03Make a good contact

00:59:04Off his right side

00:59:05But the encouraging thing

00:59:06Is that the runs

00:59:07The two strikers are making

00:59:08Particularly Peter Beardsley

00:59:10Who's had a

00:59:10As I say

00:59:11Hasn't had the best of times

00:59:12But today looks to have

00:59:13All his zip about him

00:59:14Nice ball there

00:59:15By Hessler

00:59:17Froller

00:59:18Pursued again by Walker

00:59:20He's not giving him

00:59:20A moment's piece

00:59:21And look

00:59:22That's Hussler

00:59:23And Froller

00:59:23Into a mistake

00:59:24He's hobbled off

00:59:25With an injury

00:59:25The game will go on

00:59:26He's off the field of play

00:59:28And you can see

00:59:29The referee there

00:59:29Indicating to the

00:59:31West German physios

00:59:32You've got to come

00:59:32Round the back of the goal

00:59:33If you want to attend

00:59:34Quite right

00:59:41We're waiting for the

00:59:44Ball to return

00:59:45And the Germans are taking

00:59:46As much time as they can

00:59:47They obviously want to try

00:59:48And get

00:59:50Their man back on the field

00:59:52Again

00:59:58It's with

01:00:19And it comes clear to Klinzman

01:00:28And it comes clear to Klinzman

01:00:30Froller

01:00:30Froller still getting treatment

01:00:31On the far side

01:00:32It breaks down the game

01:00:32But this time

01:00:33It's

01:00:37Actually the whistle had gone

01:00:38But it was a moment of

01:00:40Wonderful excitement there

01:00:41Chris Waddle letting fly

01:00:43From something like

01:00:4435 yards

01:00:45That Badu Ildner

01:00:46Backpedalling

01:00:47Furiously

01:00:48And just getting

01:00:49A hand to it

01:00:50But the whistle had gone

01:00:52What a lovely

01:00:53Clean strike there

01:00:55By the England

01:00:56England player

01:00:57Chris Waddle

01:01:00And back goes the goalkeeper

01:01:02Just flicking it onto

01:01:03The bar and over

01:01:04But the whistle had gone

01:01:05It would have counted

01:01:05For nothing

01:01:06And Platt's conceding

01:01:08Another free kick

01:01:09As he goes into

01:01:10The back of Hessler

01:01:13Hessler will take

01:01:14The free kick

01:01:15To Bremer

01:01:17Boller still getting

01:01:18Treatment on the

01:01:20Far side of the ground

01:01:24They're told

01:01:26And the foul there

01:01:27By Pearce

01:01:28On Berthold

01:01:29Will give the West

01:01:30Germans a free kick

01:01:32Let's go back to

01:01:33London again

01:01:33For a quick word

01:01:34With Geoff Hurst

01:01:37It's amazing really

01:01:38Brian

01:01:38What a great start

01:01:39You had to dream

01:01:39A start for a

01:01:40World Cup semi-final

01:01:41This is it

01:01:43Tactically it's great

01:01:43To see Chris Waddle

01:01:44Now in the last

01:01:45Third of the field

01:01:46Doing what he

01:01:46Should be doing

01:01:47And at the back

01:01:48The picking up

01:01:50The marking

01:01:50Is a lot better

01:01:51Than it has been

01:01:51With the leggy

01:01:52Mark Wright

01:01:53Along with Klinsman

01:01:54And Desmond

01:01:55All-Cruz

01:01:55Quick and nippy

01:01:56Along with Vuller

01:01:57And leaving

01:01:57Butch's spare

01:01:58And that's really

01:01:59A masterful

01:02:01Tactical switch

01:02:01For me

01:02:02I mean we're

01:02:03Curling balls

01:02:03To front people

01:02:04Everybody's doing

01:02:05Exactly what they

01:02:05Should be doing

01:02:06It's a marvellous

01:02:06Marvellous start

01:02:08Well but two

01:02:09Germans now off the field

01:02:10Getting treatment

01:02:10They're down to nine men

01:02:12And really the referee

01:02:13Yeah he's being

01:02:14Quite severe and strong

01:02:15About it saying

01:02:15The game will go on

01:02:16So Matthäus

01:02:17The West German captain

01:02:19Will have to gather

01:02:20His beleaguered forces

01:02:21Around him

01:02:22Vuller is almost

01:02:23Back onto the field

01:02:24And I'm sure

01:02:24They will hold up

01:02:25The free kick

01:02:26Until Bertolt

01:02:26Does get back on

01:02:34Looks concerned

01:02:35But here's Matthäus

01:02:38And Wright

01:02:39With a brave header away

01:02:43Here's Lineker

01:02:45Parker

01:02:47As Jeff Hurst

01:02:48Was saying

01:02:48It's good to see

01:02:49Waddle

01:02:49In these forward positions

01:02:52As opposed to

01:02:54So much negative play

01:02:55That we saw from him

01:02:56Really

01:02:56For so long

01:02:57Against the Cameroon

01:02:58Of course I'm sure

01:02:59That Jeff would appreciate

01:03:00That strikers working

01:03:01Well together

01:03:02And Lineker and Beardsley

01:03:03At the moment

01:03:03Seem to be very happy

01:03:04In each other's company

01:03:08Waddle with a long

01:03:09Long ball

01:03:09When it reached Stuart Pearce

01:03:12The Germans get it away

01:03:13To Thomas Bertolt

01:03:16Forward to Klinsmann

01:03:19Tries to

01:03:20Dummy Walker

01:03:21Walker

01:03:22Pushing him away

01:03:24And the free kick

01:03:31In actual fact

01:03:33Just a step over

01:03:34Walk a little bit

01:03:35Too close

01:03:35Just the threat

01:03:36Of Klinsmann's pace

01:03:37Our defenders seem to be

01:03:39Having more of a problem

01:03:40In the last few minutes

01:03:41Since Waller's gone off

01:03:42They're not quite sure

01:03:43Now who they've got

01:03:43To Mark

01:03:44Where's before

01:03:45It was all spelt out

01:03:46For them

01:03:47Well there's Waller

01:03:48Still getting treatment

01:03:48Still some way

01:03:49It seems from getting

01:03:50Back onto the field

01:03:51And Matthäus

01:03:53The West German skipper

01:03:53With the free kick

01:03:55Looking towards

01:03:56Buchwald

01:03:57Who's in there

01:03:57Parker just getting

01:03:58A little touch

01:03:59On that ball

01:04:00To get it into touch

01:04:02And Olof Thorn

01:04:04With the throw

01:04:04For the West Germans

01:04:06Back to Brink

01:04:15Klinsmann

01:04:16Wait wide for Gertel

01:04:20That looks very much

01:04:21As if Waller may not

01:04:22Be coming on

01:04:23Actually

01:04:23I notice that

01:04:24They've just handed in

01:04:24Their registration

01:04:26To the FIFA official

01:04:29Here's Hessler

01:04:33Turn

01:04:34Trying something

01:04:35From the range

01:04:36Shelton

01:04:36A good save

01:04:37That bounce

01:04:38Just awkwardly

01:04:39In front of him

01:04:39And he spread himself

01:04:41Beautifully

01:04:42And gathered it

01:04:43In the end

01:04:44Quite comfortably

01:04:47It's now

01:04:48With Stuart Pearce

01:04:50Forward to

01:04:50Piersley

01:04:51A little turn

01:04:52By him

01:04:52And a clear

01:04:52Obstruction there

01:04:53By Buchwald

01:04:55Over three kicks

01:04:55A week

01:04:59As Ron was saying

01:05:00It looks as though

01:05:00Riedler

01:05:01Will be coming on

01:05:02And indeed

01:05:03That's the end

01:05:04Of it for

01:05:04Rudy Vela

01:05:15So that was the

01:05:16Partnership

01:05:16That were in

01:05:17Against

01:05:18The Czechs

01:05:18In the quarterfinals

01:05:19When Vela

01:05:20Was suspended

01:05:22In the meantime

01:05:23It's swallowed

01:05:24With the free kick

01:05:25For England

01:05:27Bramer getting it away

01:05:34Butcher

01:05:35To Parker

01:05:37Played in again

01:05:38For Gascoigne

01:05:43Offside against Parker

01:05:44Free kick

01:05:44To the West Jones

01:05:48About six minutes

01:05:49Of the first half left

01:05:52This fella

01:05:53Is helped

01:05:54Away

01:06:06Agantala to

01:06:11Köhler

01:06:12Spook

01:06:13Vowl

01:06:16To Bremer

01:06:19To Agantala

01:06:19To Buchtwald

01:06:24And then

01:06:25Agantala

01:06:25Spotting a little

01:06:26Gap

01:06:27Looking to get

01:06:30Well he looked to get

01:06:31Matthias through

01:06:33And Parker brought him

01:06:34Down

01:06:34There was a handshake

01:06:35At the end

01:06:35But a free kick

01:06:36To the West Germans

01:06:38But he's a threat

01:06:39When he steps in

01:06:40Is Neil

01:06:40Agantala

01:06:41When he steps in

01:06:41From the back

01:06:42That's a typical

01:06:43Matthias run

01:06:46Somehow

01:06:47Other

01:06:47Lineker

01:06:48And Beardsley

01:06:48Have to try

01:06:49And negate

01:06:50That a little bit

01:06:50When Agantala

01:06:51Steps in

01:06:52Not easy

01:06:52For them

01:06:52I must confess

01:06:54So Matthias

01:06:55Behind this free kick

01:06:56Bramer's in there too

01:07:01Agantala's up there

01:07:02Tong's going in

01:07:03Flinsman's in the wall

01:07:04Having a little

01:07:04Tussle with Stuart

01:07:05Pearce at the moment

01:07:11Five minutes to go

01:07:12To the interval

01:07:13Played there

01:07:14For Agantala

01:07:15And pushed right

01:07:16By Peter Shilton

01:07:22As I say

01:07:23He's never scored

01:07:24For the West Germans

01:07:25But he was nicely

01:07:26On target there

01:07:27And Shilton

01:07:28Was more than equal to

01:07:29It was a favourable

01:07:30Hight for a goalkeeper

01:07:31Of Shilton's standing

01:07:32To be honest

01:07:32But here's a corner

01:07:33Could be more problems

01:07:34Now for England

01:07:35Bramer curling it in

01:07:36And England defending

01:07:38Well again

01:07:38Out as far as Hessler

01:07:41Beardsley coming out

01:07:42To nick it away

01:07:43Into touch

01:07:49Tong getting it in

01:07:52Riedler

01:07:53Not really a shot

01:07:54Pearce getting it away

01:07:56With the right foot

01:07:56Only as far as Agantala

01:07:57All hands to the pump

01:07:58At the moment

01:07:59In this English defence

01:08:01Bramer

01:08:01To Matthias

01:08:03What a ferocious shot

01:08:04But surely not

01:08:05From that range

01:08:06Back again for Agantala

01:08:08He was being closed down

01:08:09Well there Matthias

01:08:10Here's Bukval

01:08:13And now Berthold

01:08:18Agantala

01:08:18Lineker coming back

01:08:19To lend a hand

01:08:24Hessler now

01:08:24On the far side

01:08:28To get the ball

01:08:29Back again

01:08:30Still with Hesler

01:08:32Still with Hessler

01:09:00Hesler

01:09:05Good spell there by the West

01:09:06But for all that

01:09:07The English defence

01:09:08Looking quite comfortable

01:09:10Let's see what they can do here

01:09:14Saved by Schiltern

01:09:15And a free kick

01:09:16Or rather a corner now

01:09:17Which Bramer will take

01:09:24Butcher getting it away

01:09:26Hessler

01:09:29Riedler

01:09:32Hessler again

01:09:34Berthold

01:09:39Agantala swept wide again

01:09:42To Bramer

01:09:45He was looking across

01:09:47To the left hand side

01:09:48Of the field

01:09:48Bramer

01:09:49Usually found a bit of space

01:09:50For himself

01:09:50And he most times

01:09:51Uses it so well

01:09:53It's Olaf

01:09:54Toll

01:09:59Riedler

01:09:59Back to

01:10:00Agantala

01:10:03Berthold

01:10:03Bit of space

01:10:04For him

01:10:04Playing it quickly

01:10:05Into Hessler

01:10:07Everybody

01:10:08Barlinica

01:10:08Back in the English

01:10:09Half of the field

01:10:13Butcher

01:10:14Losing out for a moment

01:10:15There

01:10:15And the German fans

01:10:18Shout for a free kick

01:10:20The referee

01:10:21Well on the spot

01:10:22Waves play on

01:10:24Brian

01:10:25It's funny how games

01:10:25Can change in an instant

01:10:27I think this

01:10:28Game's changing

01:10:28A little bit

01:10:29Since the advent

01:10:30Of Riedler

01:10:30He's come on

01:10:31He's been busy

01:10:32And bright

01:10:32He's never stopped moving

01:10:33Whereas

01:10:34Voh was a little bit static

01:10:35He was easily picked up

01:10:36Now at the moment

01:10:37This lads

01:10:37Chewing all over the front line

01:10:39And all of a sudden

01:10:40They find they've got a target

01:10:41They can play off

01:10:43Essentially now

01:10:44They've started popping the ball

01:10:45About the Germans

01:10:46And basically

01:10:47It's because this guy's there

01:10:48Offering himself all the while

01:10:51Right

01:10:52To Waddle

01:10:55Gascoigne made a good break away

01:10:56On the right hand side

01:10:57There

01:10:57And how well

01:10:58Waddle has found him

01:11:02Gascoigne treading on the ball

01:11:04Bringing

01:11:05Tries to get it away

01:11:06Gascoigne brings him down

01:11:07A free kick to the West Germans

01:11:08But Waddle's hitting

01:11:09Some magnificent long balls

01:11:10Tonight

01:11:11He's playing in a funny area

01:11:13He's not playing as deep

01:11:13Certainly not playing as deep

01:11:14As he did against the Cameroons

01:11:16Playing in a little bit

01:11:17Of advance

01:11:18And that's still not as high

01:11:18Up the field

01:11:19As we would like to see him

01:11:20But more in the role

01:11:21Shall we say

01:11:22Of a creative

01:11:22If player

01:11:25Hook foul to

01:11:26To Algenthala

01:11:31To Brema

01:11:37Matthias

01:11:40Brema

01:11:44Matthias

01:11:46Algenthala

01:11:47Berthold in some space

01:11:49On this side

01:11:49But he plays it short

01:11:50And simply

01:11:51To Buchwald

01:11:55The last few seconds

01:11:56Of the first half

01:11:57Now

01:11:58Bright first half

01:11:59By England

01:12:00But

01:12:01Nothing on the score sheet

01:12:02For them

01:12:03But nothing for the Germans

01:12:04Either

01:12:04Still 0-0

01:12:09And there goes

01:12:10The half-time whistle

01:12:11In this

01:12:12World Cup semi-final

01:12:14Here in Turin

01:12:15The half-time score then

01:12:17England 0

01:12:18West Germany 0

01:12:19Great great start

01:12:21By England

01:12:21But one would have thought

01:12:23Bobby Robson

01:12:23Needing to do a little bit

01:12:24Of reorganising

01:12:25At half-time

01:12:26Defensively Graham

01:12:27Now that

01:12:28Voller's got off

01:12:28And Reidler's come on

01:12:29That's changed the shape

01:12:30Of the Germans

01:12:30Doesn't it

01:12:31Well Reidler's playing

01:12:32That little bit wider

01:12:33Than Voller

01:12:34Wider of Klinsmann

01:12:35And that means

01:12:36That the three lads

01:12:37At the back

01:12:37Have just got to make sure

01:12:38That they're right

01:12:39They're a little bit

01:12:39They haven't quite

01:12:40Got it sorted out

01:12:41Because with Reidler

01:12:42Coming out

01:12:43He's pulling them

01:12:43A little bit wider apart

01:12:44And I think

01:12:45That that will

01:12:46You know

01:12:46Attention will be paid

01:12:48To that

01:12:48In the England dressing room

01:12:49At half-time

01:12:50I think Ron said

01:12:51During the commentary

01:12:52England playing

01:12:53Their best football

01:12:54Controlled football

01:12:55Of this World Cup

01:12:56So far

01:12:56Some great passing movements

01:12:57Oh very much

01:12:58I mean there's one here

01:12:59Starting involving

01:13:00Actually

01:13:01Two of the England

01:13:02Midfield players

01:13:03Gascoigne

01:13:04Who's been absolutely

01:13:06Superb

01:13:06Gary Lineker

01:13:07Looking nice and sharp

01:13:08In there

01:13:09It's a lovely movement

01:13:09Having a look

01:13:10Nice little run

01:13:11To his partner

01:13:12Beardsley

01:13:12They're looking

01:13:13Happy to be together

01:13:14Again

01:13:15And then pushing in

01:13:16Again

01:13:17To Platt

01:13:18Who along with

01:13:19Gascoigne

01:13:19I think have been

01:13:20Outstanding for England

01:13:21In the first half

01:13:22Great ball delivered

01:13:24For Pearcy

01:13:25And Gary unlucky

01:13:26Because there's his strength

01:13:27To come across the face

01:13:28Of the defender

01:13:29This time the German

01:13:30Got his foot in

01:13:31But that was a hallmark

01:13:32Of what England have done

01:13:33Right through

01:13:34Since the start of the game

01:13:36And until the last

01:13:37Five or ten minutes

01:13:38They really have

01:13:39Controlled the game

01:13:40I've been very

01:13:41Very pleased

01:13:41With the midfield

01:13:42I mean for me

01:13:43Chris Waddle

01:13:44Is playing right side

01:13:45Midfield

01:13:45There's three

01:13:46Midfield players

01:13:46In there

01:13:47And they have

01:13:48Dominated in the

01:13:49Middle of the park

01:13:50So far

01:13:51So good

01:13:52With a word of caution

01:13:53Back to you in London

01:13:54Nick

01:13:54Thanks very much Elton

01:13:55Well Geoffrey Hurst

01:13:56I think it's fair to say

01:13:58England playing very well

01:13:59But overall

01:13:59It's a really attractive

01:14:00Game of football

01:14:01Isn't it

01:14:01I think it's a credit

01:14:02To the World Cup so far

01:14:03If they want to look

01:14:03At standards FIFA

01:14:04On how the game

01:14:05Should be played

01:14:05Without the terrible

01:14:06Acting we've seen

01:14:07In previous games

01:14:08That's a great standard

01:14:09To attain

01:14:09But forgetting that

01:14:10I'm only really interested

01:14:11In our bad England

01:14:12And what's amazed me

01:14:13Is the quality of the passing

01:14:15In previous games

01:14:16Our passing

01:14:16Has been absolutely abysmal

01:14:18I don't think we've

01:14:18Strung three passes together

01:14:19In the rest of the tournament

01:14:21The quality

01:14:22From five yards

01:14:22To fifty yards

01:14:23To the night

01:14:23Straightforward passes

01:14:25Curling with the inside

01:14:26And the outside

01:14:26Of their foot

01:14:26Fifty yard balls

01:14:27And waddle

01:14:27It's been absolutely amazing

01:14:29And the understanding

01:14:29They've had between them

01:14:30It's been marvellous

01:14:31Jim you were saying

01:14:32Before the game

01:14:33That you weren't too happy

01:14:34About Beardsley

01:14:34Being in the side

01:14:35Well no

01:14:35I've been

01:14:36I'm a great admirer

01:14:37Of Peter Beardsley

01:14:38In his Liverpool role

01:14:39I have been critical

01:14:40Of his role

01:14:41With England

01:14:42In the past

01:14:42But I've got to

01:14:43Hold my hands up

01:14:44Not to the Germans

01:14:45But to Peter Beardsley

01:14:47And say that

01:14:48He is having

01:14:49A superb game tonight

01:14:50I suppose Bob's had a lot

01:14:52Of faith in him

01:14:53And has given him

01:15:20I think we look quite sound

01:15:21At the back

01:15:22Really when you consider

01:15:23The strengths of the strengths

01:15:24Of the Germans

01:15:25Is these guys up front

01:15:26Peter Shilton

01:15:27Was nearly stranded

01:15:28At one time

01:15:28Yes he was

01:15:29There was a ball

01:15:29Push through

01:15:30But I wouldn't say

01:15:30He was stranded

01:15:31No in fact

01:15:32He did ever so well

01:15:32Here

01:15:33Because when the ball

01:15:34Is

01:15:35Oh this one

01:15:36Is a little bit

01:15:37Dicky

01:15:37The shots dipped

01:15:39Just in front

01:15:40Of him

01:15:40Which he's took well

01:15:41This free kick

01:15:42Squared to the middle

01:15:43He's adjusted his position

01:15:44And come forward

01:15:45And he's made that easy

01:15:46He's made that look easy

01:15:47If it had stood back

01:15:48It would have had to have made

01:15:50A more difficult save

01:15:51So his positioning

01:15:52Was very very sound

01:15:53One man

01:15:54Another man we must mention

01:15:55Chris Waddle

01:15:56He's had a terrific game

01:15:57He's been getting forward

01:15:57Hasn't he

01:15:58Well in the rest of the tournament

01:15:59He's been picking balls

01:16:00Off the back four

01:16:00And playing five yard passes

01:16:02To next to nobody

01:16:03And my grandmother

01:16:03Could have played like that

01:16:04Tonight and I've been advocating

01:16:05For the last few games

01:16:06He's doing his business

01:16:08In the last third of the field

01:16:09And he's getting there

01:16:10And he's running into there

01:16:11He's running players

01:16:12Into that position

01:16:13Then getting in one to one

01:16:14And that's where

01:16:15He's got to do his job

01:16:15It's no good beating people

01:16:16In the back four

01:16:17Our back four

01:16:18It's beating them

01:16:19In the last third of the field

01:16:20And he's been tremendous tonight

01:16:21One thing I must put

01:16:22To both of you actually

01:16:22Whether you'd fancy

01:16:23The penalty situation

01:16:24That we now have these days

01:16:25In the World Cup

01:16:26At my age

01:16:27No thank you very much

01:16:28I couldn't even think about it

01:16:29At my age

01:16:29Yeah well can I just bring back

01:16:30Some grotesque memories

01:16:32For you Geoff

01:16:32Thank you very much

01:16:33I think it's December 71

01:16:35West Ham against Stoke

01:16:36League Cup as it was

01:16:38Hurst taking the penalty

01:16:40Banks the save

01:16:42It was

01:16:42Well Gordon's smiling anyway

01:16:44One of my lucky ones

01:16:45But Banksy brought you down

01:16:46In the first place

01:16:47And should have been sent off

01:16:48For the professional foul

01:16:50Cynical foul actually

01:16:51And then he

01:16:51Then he has the cheek

01:16:53To save it Geoff

01:16:54That was a cracker

01:16:54It was a hell of a save

01:16:55It was one of my lucky ones

01:16:57The first leg at Stoke

01:16:58I had a penalty

01:16:58We won there

01:16:59Exactly the same position

01:17:01I put it within an inch

01:17:02And he went exactly there again

01:17:04And a little monkey

01:17:05Knocked it over

01:17:06Thanks for reminding me

01:17:06Yeah I know you'd appreciate that

01:17:08Just briefly

01:17:08A word of praise

01:17:09For the referee of this game

01:17:10He's refereeing it well

01:17:11Which makes a very pleasant change

01:17:13Right yes

01:17:14I don't think

01:17:14With the game as it's being played

01:17:16In the spirit

01:17:17It doesn't have to

01:17:18It's refereeable

01:17:19Some

01:17:19Yesterday

01:17:19In some cases

01:17:20It wasn't even refereable

01:17:22Yeah

01:17:22But it's an easy game

01:17:23For a referee

01:17:23It's been a beauty

01:17:24It's been a beauty

01:17:24With the sport and the way

01:17:25It's been played

01:17:25We're clearly happy

01:17:26On all fronts

01:17:26Gents for the time being

01:17:27Thanks very much

01:17:28Back to Turin

01:17:28After the break

01:17:40Welcome to Steve Koppel

01:17:41Who's here observing

01:17:42And supporting the team

01:17:43That he used to play for

01:17:44England

01:17:451982 World Cup

01:17:46Now you're a little bit unhappy

01:17:48I know beforehand

01:17:49About the defensive formation

01:17:50Are you happier now?

01:17:52Well I think on the performance

01:17:53They've done terrific

01:17:54The markers have marked

01:17:56Really tightly

01:17:56Except for one or two occasions

01:17:58And I think England

01:17:59They've got to be happy

01:18:00After 45 minutes play

01:18:01You were a little

01:18:03Wanted to point out

01:18:04That we were talking about

01:18:05What was going on

01:18:05In the England dressing room

01:18:06And what was going on

01:18:07In the German dressing room

01:18:08Was probably more interesting

01:18:09As far as you're concerned

01:18:10That would interest me

01:18:11Because I don't think

01:18:12There's any way

01:18:13That Franz Beckenbauer

01:18:14Will be pleased

01:18:14With their first half performance

01:18:16They've never really got off

01:18:18Their game off the ground at all

01:18:20Which is due to England

01:18:21I mean they're taking nothing away

01:18:22But if we were to say

01:18:24Go into the German dressing room now

01:18:26That's what we think

01:18:27Can we put ourselves

01:18:29In his mind

01:18:29Because as much as now

01:18:31Being a physical battle

01:18:32It's got to be a mental battle

01:18:33As well

01:18:33And I would think

01:18:35He's been having

01:18:36Some rather strong words

01:18:37To one or two of his players

01:18:38Steve would you make

01:18:40Any changes tactically

01:18:41Or maybe bring on

01:18:42A substitution

01:18:42Or you're just happy

01:18:43The way it's going

01:18:44Well I'll be

01:18:46Well pleased really

01:18:47With as I say

01:18:47The first half

01:18:48The thing that worried me

01:18:49The last five minutes

01:18:50Is that the Germans

01:18:51Were getting a little bit more

01:18:52With Bremer and Bertholdt

01:18:54And I think that could be a problem

01:18:56In the second half

01:18:57If we can stop that

01:18:58If we can get our fellas

01:18:59Especially Chrissy Waddell

01:19:00Run at a few more people

01:19:02I can only see a good result

01:19:03At the end of this

01:19:05Let's hope so

01:19:05Forty-five minutes to go

01:19:06Unless of course

01:19:07Is extra time

01:19:08And heaven forbid

01:19:08The penalties

01:19:09As we rejoin

01:19:10Ron Atkinson

01:19:11And Brian Moore

01:19:12Thanks a lot Elton

01:19:13As the second half

01:19:15Gets underway

01:19:15The West Germans

01:19:16In those faded green shirts

01:19:18Attacking the goal to the left

01:19:19Yes

01:19:20No doubt

01:19:21Franz Beckenbauer

01:19:22Had plenty to say

01:19:22Apparently he read

01:19:23The riot act

01:19:24After their quarterfinal

01:19:26Against Czechoslovakia

01:19:27And said

01:19:27If we play as badly

01:19:28Against England

01:19:29In the semifinal

01:19:30You can forget

01:19:30All about the final

01:19:35This is Hessler

01:19:38It's looked as though

01:19:39He might cause a few problems

01:19:40Skilful little player

01:19:41They're on the right side

01:19:42Of midfield

01:19:47It's with Bremer

01:19:49And now Buchwald

01:19:53Argentele

01:19:54A long ball forward

01:19:55Looking out to

01:19:56Turn

01:20:01And then comes to Pierce

01:20:04Curl with the jump

01:20:05For the West Germans

01:20:06Gets it to Berthold

01:20:09Matthäus

01:20:11Agentele

01:20:13Going away on the left

01:20:14For him

01:20:16Berthold again

01:20:19Hessler's gone away

01:20:19Outside

01:20:20Has played in nicely

01:20:22Towards Riedler

01:20:23And then for Matthäus

01:20:24England in a spot of trouble

01:20:26Here

01:20:27And in the end

01:20:29It was David Platt

01:20:30Who got it back safely

01:20:31To Peter Schiltern

01:20:35But with Matthäus

01:20:36Getting a little bit of freedom

01:20:37Inside the England box

01:20:39That really was a worrying moment

01:20:40Very much so

01:20:41I think what is happening now

01:20:43That happened at the end of the first half

01:20:45Was Argentele

01:20:46Is getting plenty of free possession

01:20:48He's an excellent player

01:20:49Not in the Beckenbauer class

01:20:51But towards that in possession

01:20:53He sets up play

01:20:54Switches play

01:20:54He brings white people into play

01:20:56And he's also got the ability there

01:20:58So he's just split the defence

01:20:59From 50 yards

01:21:00And almost got Olive Tarny

01:21:02And so

01:21:04Somehow or other

01:21:04I don't think we can allow him

01:21:06As much freedom on the ball

01:21:07Here's Riedler

01:21:09To Hessler

01:21:14He looks really dangerous

01:21:15Trying to get a 1-2 goal

01:21:17But Beardsley had something to say about that

01:21:21Sadly for England

01:21:22Beardsley's forward pass

01:21:23Goes straight through

01:21:24To the West German defence

01:21:25And it's Andy Brenner

01:21:27She had a horrible feeling

01:21:29When I saw the team announced

01:21:31That we were left without

01:21:32Too much resistance

01:21:33In midfield

01:21:33If he came against us

01:21:34I'm hoping that doesn't work out

01:21:37I personally would have liked to see

01:21:39A place for McMahon and Steven

01:21:40In there somewhere

01:21:42Because this sort of

01:21:43The fellow like Hustler on the ball

01:21:45And Mateus

01:21:46People like that

01:21:47They can all get very, very busy

01:21:48And at the moment

01:21:49They're just pinning us back

01:21:50By ball possession

01:21:52Argentele now

01:21:53Here's Totten

01:21:58Trying to get

01:22:00Hessler in

01:22:01Some good defending

01:22:02Good combination there

01:22:04Between Butcher and Walker

01:22:1322 times

01:22:14These two nations have met

01:22:15England with 12 victories

01:22:17The West Germans with 6

01:22:18And 4 drawn

01:22:24Parker

01:22:26Oh, bang it in for Paul Parker

01:22:29Almost getting a shot in

01:22:30With a great surge of pace

01:22:33In that West German penalty area

01:22:35And I thought for one wonderful moment

01:22:37It was going to bounce

01:22:38Superbly for him

01:22:39To hit something on the volley

01:22:40Hard beyond Ildner

01:22:42And it just didn't bounce properly for him

01:22:44Some good defending though

01:22:44By Argentele

01:22:46Yeah, this is

01:22:47This is a great

01:22:48Great perception there

01:22:49From Waddle

01:22:50Young Parker's gone on ahead

01:22:52Ball sits up nicely

01:22:53Not a natural forward

01:22:55Possibility of a corner there

01:22:56I would have guessed as well

01:22:57But not a natural forward

01:22:58I'd love to have seen

01:22:59A natural forward in that situation

01:23:01The lad was in

01:23:03Sort of uncharted territory

01:23:05For him, Brian

01:23:05And probably just started

01:23:07To panic a little bit

01:23:10Berto

01:23:12That would represent

01:23:13Our best chance

01:23:14I don't fancy us

01:23:15If we sit back

01:23:15And try and absorb pressure

01:23:16I think they'll pick us off

01:23:18Like this

01:23:18I think we proved

01:23:19In the early part

01:23:20Of the first half

01:23:21When we went at them

01:23:22Gave them problems

01:23:23At the back

01:23:23Because they're not racy

01:23:24They're not quick

01:23:24At the back

01:23:25And that would represent

01:23:26Our best chance of success

01:23:29Argentele

01:23:30With a bad hold

01:23:31On the far side

01:23:32Successfully finds him

01:23:33Shakes off

01:23:34The tensions

01:23:35Of Peter Beardsley

01:23:38Break is on there

01:23:39With Tone

01:23:43That's out of play

01:23:45Goal kick for England

01:23:48Talking about the

01:23:49Overall record

01:23:50Between these two countries

01:23:52England have won 12

01:23:53Out of 22

01:23:54But it rather disguises

01:23:55The fact that the West

01:23:56Germans in fact

01:23:56Didn't beat us

01:23:57Until 1968

01:23:58And since then

01:23:59They've won 6

01:24:00Out of the last 10

01:24:02England have won only 2

01:24:04So the recent record

01:24:05Certainly favours

01:24:06The West Germans

01:24:07And the last time

01:24:08We met was in 1987

01:24:09In Dusseldorf

01:24:10On that occasion

01:24:11They won 3-1

01:24:16It's Pearce

01:24:19England doing well

01:24:20At the moment

01:24:20But still

01:24:21Not finding a way through

01:24:23Hard though David Platt

01:24:24Was trying there

01:24:27Now Gantala

01:24:27Shut the door

01:24:28Coming forward again

01:24:29A long ball forward

01:24:31By him

01:24:31Trying to get Riedler away

01:24:33But Shilton

01:24:33Read that quickly

01:24:34For England

01:24:41Always remember

01:24:42For a place

01:24:42In the final

01:24:43When this wonderful

01:24:44Jamboree of 1990

01:24:45Comes to an end

01:24:46In just a few days time

01:24:48On Sunday evening

01:24:49In the Olympic Stadium

01:24:51In Rome

01:24:56It's Lee

01:24:58To right

01:25:04The gap suddenly opened up

01:25:05And Wright was prepared

01:25:07To give it a go

01:25:07It came off the defender

01:25:08But

01:25:09Opener there

01:25:11Under the likelihood

01:25:12Of an English corner

01:25:13Berthold

01:25:17That was Beardsley again

01:25:18That was

01:25:19For Beardsley

01:25:20That Liverpool fans

01:25:21Would know so well

01:25:22Just sneaking in there

01:25:23Getting possession

01:25:24Looking for Stuart Pearce

01:25:26A throw to England

01:25:30I've said it before

01:25:31You know

01:25:32In this system

01:25:32Pearce does have a

01:25:33Thankless task

01:25:34He's our only real

01:25:35Left-sided player

01:25:36He's got to cover

01:25:37An awful lot of ground

01:25:38At that

01:25:39Beardsley on the chase

01:25:42Again

01:25:43And wins a corner

01:25:44German's not too happy

01:25:45With that

01:25:48But again

01:25:49A typical piece of Beardsley

01:25:50You know

01:25:51I've always liked

01:25:52Watching Peter Beardsley

01:25:53Play

01:25:53And it's suddenly

01:25:53Defined that he

01:25:54Just was

01:25:55As we've said so often

01:25:55In this World Cup

01:25:56Chasing the game

01:25:57But now

01:25:58He's really on top

01:25:59Of the game

01:25:59And here he is

01:26:00With a corner

01:26:01For England

01:26:01Floated in there

01:26:02Platt trying to get in there

01:26:03I'm surprised

01:26:04That Alginthalo

01:26:05Allowed that to get down

01:26:06To boot level

01:26:07Before

01:26:08Getting it clear

01:26:09And Berthold

01:26:09On the chase for them

01:26:10Trying to get Klinsman away

01:26:12Walker doing a good job

01:26:13Suddenly Tone is in there too

01:26:16This could be a real problem

01:26:18Not for Peter Shelton

01:26:20An excellent piece of goalkeeping

01:26:22As Parker tried to hold off Tone

01:26:24And the 40 year old England goalkeeper

01:26:27Did so well

01:26:31Bottle now

01:26:31Taking up the running for England

01:26:33Gascoigne taking it on from him

01:26:35Trying to go past Alginthalo

01:26:37And away come the Germans again

01:26:39Matthias

01:26:40Getting it back again

01:26:41From Tone

01:26:42A challenge from Peter Beardsley

01:26:43And now Berthold on the far side

01:26:47Hassler outside here

01:26:48And Riedler going through the middle

01:26:49The bad pass

01:26:50They were on the wrong wavelength

01:26:52And England breathe again

01:26:55Braymer struggling

01:27:00Braymer's down on the bench

01:27:01As we have a look again

01:27:01This fine piece of goalkeeping

01:27:03Standing up

01:27:04Big and straight there

01:27:05Peter Shelton

01:27:06Made it a difficult target for Tone

01:27:09And I noticed when the ball came back

01:27:11From Peter Shelton

01:27:12Braymer was calling somebody else in

01:27:17To cover for him

01:27:22Ron Atkinson

01:27:23Yes I mean

01:27:24We just said about Shelton

01:27:25I mean

01:27:26We certainly haven't seen a better keeper

01:27:28In the tournament

01:27:2840 years of age

01:27:29Who knows what he might play to

01:27:30Just having a little look there

01:27:32At Gascoigne

01:27:32Gascoigne after that run

01:27:34Through a minute or two ago

01:27:35Looks as if he's banged his leg

01:27:37A little bit

01:27:37I know he didn't get up too swift

01:27:39And he looks maybe

01:27:41To be hobbling a little bit

01:27:44Well it's only a lively start

01:27:46To this second half

01:27:46As Motha Mateus

01:27:48Swings one forward again

01:27:49Towards Klinsmann

01:27:50Up goes right

01:27:53And Riedler

01:27:54Trying to get one in there

01:27:55Hessler might get a shot on target

01:27:57But here's Gascoigne

01:27:58Winkling the ball away for England

01:28:02Parker away on the right for him

01:28:03Again Waddle's made a good break

01:28:05And he's played it instead to Lineker

01:28:06Who let it run too far

01:28:08Braymer was in there

01:28:08Back on the field again now

01:28:13There's always something

01:28:15A special feel

01:28:16About England-West Germany games

01:28:17And this one's certainly got it here

01:28:18Again in Turin tonight

01:28:21Hessler

01:28:21The worrying thing at the moment

01:28:22Brian

01:28:23It looks

01:28:23Grammar's on about

01:28:24What the Germans were talking about

01:28:25At half time

01:28:26I wonder if Beckenbauer said

01:28:28Hey

01:28:28Get it geared up

01:28:29Let's step up

01:28:30Because at the moment

01:28:31They're going a lot harder

01:28:33And faster than this

01:28:34Hessler with the cross

01:28:35Wright with the clearance

01:28:43Yes occasionally at the back

01:28:44It's all hands to the pump now

01:28:47Backing down the hatches

01:28:49And Mark Wright

01:28:52With a valuable clearance there

01:28:54But it's a corner which Braymer will take for the West Germans

01:28:57Klinsmann's in there

01:29:00Berthold's in there

01:29:00Riedler's in there

01:29:01But so too was David Platt

01:29:03And Lineker suddenly put it back inside the penalty area

01:29:06But Gascoigne got it away

01:29:10Ten minutes of the second half gone

01:29:12Nil-nil

01:29:13In the World Cup semi-final in Turin

01:29:15Between West Germany and England

01:29:19Hessler

01:29:23Argentala

01:29:25De Matthäus
