France 2-0 England (1984) 

Michel Platini, best ever french player!

even without a world cup champion medal,the Platini's France team has been my all time favorite national team. so exciting to watch even a friendly game.. the days where international matches ,world cup provided the top quality football,every star& leader of the team gave their best shots

I was there, stood amongst the French fans with my friend. We were both foreign exchange students living in Orleans who'd made the trip and found ourselves in the wrong area. Somehow it because obvious that were England fans but there was no tension. I recall that when the second brilliant Platini goal went in, every Frenchman stood up and applauded. Suddenly all eyes were on us so we too (somewhat grudgingly) stood up and clapped the Frenchman's genius, earning us approving winks from all concerned!

I was in love with this team.

Dream team france 1984

Tigana Fernandez Giresse et Platini meilleur milieu de terrain français de tous les temps

Quel plaisir de revoir ce football fluide et brillant!

Good day. Thank you so much for the nice video. Bravo! Enjoyed and liked of course. Greetings from Baku city

Platini, tigana,giresse and Fernandez. Got to be up there for the best midfield 4 of all time

Michel tu es fantastique, mon idole a tout jamais !!!

Platini fuoriclasse assoluto !!!!!!!

Une merveille de match, jolie revanche sur ce match manqué du Mundial 82

What is interesting about this match is it was built up by the English newspapers and media as a battle between Platini and Hoddle to see who would come out on top. So, Platini scores a great free kick and header. True, Hoddle scored great free kicks but not headers. Platini scored the first goal in the centre forward position. Hoddle was never going to make a run off the ball into the centre forward position. So in reality, there was no comparison between the two players. Platini could play centre forward, score headers, be an assist king in mdifeild, made lots of runs off the ball, play with his back to goal. Hoddle couldn't do any of those things. Not having a go at Hoddle, a player I liked a lot, but sadly just demontsrates yet again the media we have over here in England wasn't as kwoledgable as they should have been. By the way, what an incredible free kick!

Remember setting in lounge with my parents watching this

I would have loved to have seen this French team against the Brazil team of the same era... Platini, Giresse,Tigana,Fernandes vs Zico,Socrates,Falcao,Eder,Toninho Cerezo. Man what a match that would have been. In 81 France was without Platini and Brazil was without Zico when they met in Par de France. France got overrun by a BRILLIANT Brazil team. In 86 everyone was on the wrong side of 30..Falcao,Eder didnt play, Socrates was slow and old. Zico was injured and .........old.

febuary 29th 1984 (leap year remember). shown live on bbc1 france were all over us. one sided match.

ici la France a pris sa revanche puisque deux ans avant ce match en phase finale du mondial 82 les anglais ont battu la France par 3 à 1 on se souvient du premier but anglais de robson à 27 secondes du début du match "but le plus rapide du monde

Shilton " No, it's fine, i am allowed to handle the ball outside the penalty area" Doh! 2 - 0.

France 84’ 12/12 chapeau 🎩 !!

5:07 "Once more the goalkeeping is tremendous" Yeah, a routine stop followed by a howler! What was he playing at? 3:39 6:13 I see that even six years before his disastrous World Cup, Shilton was still diving about two seconds after the ball had passed him. LOL I saw Shilton in the flesh when he played for Derby but I'm just too young to remember him playing for England. Can those born before the early 80s tell me if he used to get stick during his England career and if people ever questioned his place in the side? People my age and younger have grown up to believe that he was one of the all-time great 'keepers and was right up there with Gordon Banks but he hasn't looked anything special to me whenever I've seen clips of him playing for England.

And all of them born in FRANCE.

Fair play on the terraces that day

very fair commentaries from english men.

Stein and Walsh? Erm...ok

What an appalling England side

At that time we had a French Team which will look at a French team. Now , I know that by saying that remarks, I going to be treated like someone awful racist. AnyWay, In this country (France), more and more we don't have the right to express our own perception, because of the beautiful characters make sure, keep watch, what are you're saying. We are under control of the indignation Diktat !!

Yet another crap England team
