When England were eliminated in 1982, we never lost a game, and only conceded one goal.

Beat France 3-1
Beat Czechoslovakia 2-0
Beat Kuwait 1-0
Drew with West Germany 0-0
Drew with Spain 0-0

In 1990, we didn't lose when we were knocked out, we only lost the third place play-off match.

Didn't England once go out of the world cup without ever losing a game as well?

That just could have been WetSockLand.

Just woke up, what did I miss
 




The right result as I see it.
Switzerland sought to nullify footballing enterprise by both sides, by playing a safe option and choking the midfield - at cost of any meaningful attacking forays. They failed to advance that cause, or achieve an ultimate advantage by that style of football, thankfully.

It reminded me a bit, of the World Cup final of 1994, where Italy had all their hopes rested on strangling the Brazillian attack, and get a breakaway opportunist goal. Happily they also lost, but it was the worst final in history and the first to be decided on penalties.
