International Season 1983/84, Part 5

June

Belgium’s Michel Renquin had to withdraw from Belgium squad to help his Swiss club Servette in the championship playoff. Georges Grun came in to replace him for the Euros.

Two days before Belgium’s friendly vs. Hungary, Enzo Scifo’s citizenship application was approved (He was of Italian descent). In the macth vs. Hungary, Alex Czerniatinski was sent off two minutes after coming on as a substitute.

England toured South America with matches vs. Brazil, Uruguay and Chile. The win vs. Brazil (managed by Zico’s brother Edu Antunes) at Maracana (2-0) will always be remembered for the beautiful solo goal scored by John Barnes.

England lost to Uruguay (0-2) and played a scoreless tie with Chile.

The 1984 Euros took palce in France with France winning with Michel Platini at his absolute best.

Denmark, Portugal and Spain were the surprises, while West Germany and Yugoslavia were great disappointments.

Juup Derwall ended his reign as West Germany Manager, soon to be replaced with Franz Beckenbauer. France’s Michel Hidalgo retired in style after eight years in charge.
