World Cup Soccer: Finland v England

BBC One
on BBC One London

Live from the Olympic Stadium, Helsinki

England begin their campaign to reach the final stages of the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. Exclusive coverage of the whole of this evening's match in qualifying Group Two which also includes Italy and Luxembourg.

England have failed to qualify in the last two major competitions - the 1974 World Cup and the current European Championship. They cannot afford to slip up tonight against Finland's amateurs, who lost five of their six matches in their European group-though they did draw 0-0 with Italy in Rome and recently beat Switzerland 1-0 in Helsinki.

Introduced by Jimmy Hill, with comment from Bobby Charlton
