Amazon.co.uk Review

England's World Cup Magic is a limited edition box-set celebrating the England football team and its current incarnation's qualification for the 2002 World Cup, featuring over six hours of action on three discs.

England's Dream Ticket follows England from the ignominious Wembley defeat at the hands of Germany to the last-gasp Beckham-bender at Old Trafford against Greece. Highlights of all the matches, including friendlies against Spain, Mexico and Holland are interspersed with episodes on Sven and Wembley, and capture a sense of the media-frenzy that follows the team. Germany 1 England 5 charts that glorious September 2001 evening, offering the full BBC (Motson, Brooking) coverage of the match. Finally, The England Collection is an entertaining though somewhat flawed hall-of-fame, featuring 50 players who have graced the England team (three keepers, 13 defenders, 18 midfielders, 16 strikers). Some of the selections and omissions are hard to understand, and there is a distinct bias towards the post-1980s, presumably because of lack of rights to footage. Extra sections on 30 best goals, the Next Generation and Bloopers, are fun but still missing valuable players.

On the DVD: England’s World Cup Magic contains lots of extras spread across the three discs, including scene selection; exclusive interviews with Sven and his assistant Tord Grip; England U21 match highlights; text-only match statistics and player profiles; montages of top 10 qualification goals. The England Collection is essentially a file of nearly 100 programmes of around 60 seconds each and is poorly served by the technology--viewers have no option but to trawl through the bulk of the clips one at a time. --Alex Hankin

2.0 out of 5 stars Junk, 16 Jan 2006

By	"overseas_blue" - See all my reviews

First of all, the first two discs in the set I purchased were duplicates of the run to the 2002 World Cup. No England 5 Germany 1 match in it's entirety as promised. Secondly, the third disc of England "greats" is seriously flawed with footage that did not adequately depict why the chosen players were great. How does Gazza's goal against Scotland in Euro 96 not make the list of 10 greatest individual goals? Third, the final disc does not let you simply run through the list. You have to select each individual player as the previous profile finished. An absolute waste of time and money, especially I was visiting London from the States and wanted a nice compliation to bring home for later viewing, a bitter disappointment. Paying full price made it even worse.

2.0 out of 5 stars England's World Cup Magic?, 11 May 2002

By A Customer

Whilst the first two disc's in this special edition are worth the price alone, the 3rd disc is at best a waste of space. Poorly produced, and annoying to watch, it feels as if it has been put together as a last thought, with very little quality. The list of England Great's is a nice idea, but some of the players considered great have hardly started their careers yet!

Overall, to re-live the qualification roller-coaster and enjoy the night in Munich over and over again is great, but the third disc will make a decent coaster!
