The following text appears on the bottom of the image:

"English Football is on its way to France for the 1998 World Cup after years of absence from the competition. New Team manager Glen Hoodle and coach Terry Venables had successfully guided the improving English side through problematic away fixtures in Poland & Georgia and with one final game to play away against Italy, just one more point was needed to qualify. The Italians however, would not be handing the game to England. Quite the opposite.

They had already beaten England at Wembley so the Eternal City was to become the host to the toughest of confrontations. Directly after kick-off the hard physical affair began with both teams giving no quarter. Italy's aggressive 4-3-3 formation was headed up with the powerful offence of Vieri And Inzaghi supporting Zola. But David Batty and Tony Adam shone in defence, England soaking up both the pressure and the knocks.

Paul Ince had to retire early for head stitches but came back battling to a game which saw eight bookings and one sending off. Play was always tight between the two sides and it seemed that nothing short of a mistake or miracle by a player would break the deadlock. At the last gasp one minute from time, Ian Wright came closest to scoring when he struck the opposition's post but the tie remained unbroken. England were finally through to the World Cup Of World Cups."
