In the group stage of the 1970 World Cup, England was in a group with later champions Brazil, Romania and Czechoslovakia. The first game was won 0-1. The second game was narrowly lost to Brazil (1-0). England qualified for the quarterfinals after beating the Czechs: 1-0. The quarterfinals were a replay of the 1966 World Cup final between England and West Germany. Initially, England were much stronger and came to 2-0. The England coach replaced Bobby Charlton to give him some rest before the semi-finals. A miscalculation because West Germany won 2-3.
