Notes

One of England's extra-time matches occurred in group play against Belgium at World Cup 1954, where extra-time was played in drawn group matches although tournament elimination was not immediately at stake.  Under the peculiar arrangement in force for that tournament, each team played only two of the three other teams in the group, which made deadlocks in the group table much more likely.  The hope was that extra-time would produce a winning team and thus avoid the need for a play-off match between teams level on points at the conclusion of group play.  Superiority in goal difference or goals scored was not then in use as a means of breaking deadlocks in points earned in group play.
