Notes
Greenwood: Last MatchDue to the peculiar format of the 1982 World Cup - a second group stage after the first - England needed to beat hosts Spain in their final group game to progress to the semi-finals. However, they only managed a 0-0 draw â their second of the stage. England go out of the World Cup without losing a game. Ron Greenwood's last match in charge.
