International football competition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1920â21 British Home Championship was a football tournament played between the British Home Nations during the 1920â21 season. The second tournament played since the hiatus of the First World War, the 1921 competition was dominated by Scotland, who won the first of seven championships they would claim throughout the decade. England and reigning champions Wales came joint second as goal difference was not at this stage used to separate teams.

England and Ireland kicked off the competition in October 1920, with England gaining an early advantage through a 2â0 victory. Action resumed the following February when Scotland beat current champions Wales at home and then Ireland away, to top the table. Wales and England both needed victory in their match to have a chance of catching Scotland, but both sides nullified each other and the result was a scoreless draw, requiring an English victory over the Scots in their final game to beat Scotland's lead. In the final games played simultaneously on 9 April, Wales beat Ireland to elevate themselves into joint second place as England crashed 3â0 to a superior Scottish side in Glasgow, thus making Scotland British Champions.
