This game marked the 90th Anniversary of the FA and is still regarded a full international by the FA, but not FIFA, even though the game was billed as being against FIFA and the players wore a FIFA crest on their shirts. FIFA''s position is that a Full International can only be between two affiliated countries, so teams featuring players from multiple countries are no longer eligible. The RoE tried to change their keeper towards the end of the first half but replacements were only allowed to be made at half time.
