Qualifying countries

The 1966 World Cup caused some bitter disagreements before a ball had been kicked competitively. A total of 74 teams entered the 1966 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds competing for a total of 16 spots in the final tournament Sixteen African nations boycotted the tournament in protest against a 1964 FIFA ruling that required the champion team from the African zone to play off against the winners of either the Asian or the Oceania zone in order to win a place at the finals. The Africans felt that winning their zone should have been enough in itself to merit qualification for the finals.

Despite the Africans' absence, there was another new record number of entries for the qualifying tournament, with 70 nations taking part. After all the arguments, FIFA finally ruled that ten teams from Europe would qualify, along with four from South America, one from Asia and one from North and Central America.

Summary

First Round

The 1966 World Cup had a rather unusual hero off the field, a dog called Pickles. Pickles (d 1973 was a black and white mongrel dog renowned for his role in finding the stolen Jules Rimet Trophy in 1966 In the build up to the tournament the Jules Rimet trophy was stolen from an exhibition display. The Jules Rimet Trophy, awarded to the winner of the football World Cup, was stolen in 1966 prior to the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England. A nation wide hunt for the icon ensued. It was later discovered wrapped in some newspaper as the dog sniffed under some bushes in London. London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. The FA commissioned a replica cup in case the original cup was not found in time. This replica is held at the English National Football Museum, where it is on display. The National Football Museum is a Museum in Preston, England, founded to preserve conserve and interpret several important collections of Association

The format of the 1966 competition remained the same as 1962: 16 qualified teams were divided into four groups of four. The 1962 FIFA World Cup, the seventh staging of the World Cup was held in Chile from May 30 to June 17. The top two teams in each group advanced to the quarter-finals. The draw for the final tournament, taking place on January 6, 1966 at the Royal Garden Hotel in London was the first ever to be televised, with England, West Germany, Brazil and Italy as seeds.

Despite achieving record attendances for the time, 1966 was a World Cup with few goals as the teams began to play much more tactically and defensively. This was exemplified by Alf Ramsey's England as they finished top of Group 1 with only four goals to their credit, but having none scored against them. Sir Alfred Ernest 'Alf' Ramsey (22 January 1920 &ndash 28 April 1999 was a footballer and manager of the English national football team from 1963 to 1974 The English national football team represents England in international football and is controlled by The Football Association, the governing body for football Uruguay were the other team to qualify from that group at the expense of both Mexico and France.

Kenneth Dagnall ( January 30 1921 – March 1995 was an English former football referee, who officiated in The Football League George McCabe (born March 13 1922 Sheffield Portugal appeared in the finals for the first time, and made quite an impact.

Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and third-place match

The quarter-finals provided a controversial victory for West Germany as they cruised past Uruguay 4-0; the South Americans claimed that this occurred only after the referee (who was Jim Finney, from England) had not recognised a handstop by Schnellinger on the goal line and then had sent off two players from Uruguay: Horacio Troche and Héctor Silva[2]. James " Jim " Finney (17 August 1924 &ndash 1 April 2008 was an English football referee during the 1960s and 1970s active Horacio Federico Troche Herrera (born February 14, 1936) is a former Uruguayan footballer It appeared as though the surprise package North Korea might do the same to Portugal when after 22 minutes they were in the lead 3-0. It fell to one of the greatest stars of the tournament, Eusébio, to change that. Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, GCIH, GCM ( pron eu'zɛbiʊ dɐ 'siɫvɐ fɨ'ʁɐiɾɐ (born January 25, 1942 in He scored four goals in the game and with José Augusto adding a fifth in the 78th minute, one of the most incredible comebacks was complete. José Augusto ( pron ʒu'zɛ au'guʃtu (full name José Augusto Pinto de Almeida) (born April 13, 1937, in Barreiro) is a former

Meanwhile in the other two games, Ferenc Bene's late goal for Hungary against the USSR, who were led by Lev Yashin's stellar goalkeeping, proved little more than a consolation as they crashed out 2-1, and the only goal between Argentina and England came courtesy of England's Geoff Hurst. Ferenc Bene ( Balatonújlak, December 17, 1944 – Budapest, February 27, 2006) was a Hungarian Football Lev Ivanovich Yashin (Лев Ива́нович Я́шин (22 October 1929 – 20 March 1990 was a Russian Soviet football goalkeeper, considered by many to be Sir Geoffrey Charles Hurst, MBE (born 8 December 1941 in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire) is a former footballer of During that controversial game (for more details see Argentina and England football rivalry), Argentina's Antonio Rattín became the first player to be sent off in a senior international football match at Wembley. The Argentina and England football rivalry is a highly competitive Sports rivalry that exists between the national football teams of the two Antonio Ubaldo Rattín (born May 16, 1937 in Tigre, Buenos Aires Province) is a former Argentine football player best Afterwards, the German referee, Rudolf Kreitlein, said that he had sent off Rattín because he didn't like how he had looked at him (it is worth noting that the referree did not understand Spanish)[3]. Rudolf Kreitlein (b November 14, 1919 - d was a German international Football referee and tailor in the 1950s and 1960s Rattín at first refused to leave the field and eventually had to be escorted by several policemen. Only after 30 minutes England was able to score against an Argentinian team with 10 players. This game, even today, is called by Argentina as el robo del siglo (the robbery of the century)[4].

At this point, all semifinalists were from Europe. The first semifinal between England and Portugal was controversial as well. Liverpool was the original venue for the first semifinal. However, due to intervention of the English officials, the venue changed to Wembley. [5]Eusebio alone had 4 goals wrongfully called back by the offside flag while Bobby Charlton scored both goals in England's triumph against Portugal. Sir Robert "Bobby" Charlton, CBE (born 11 October 1937 in Ashington, Northumberland) is a former English Professional Portugals' goal came from a penalty kick in the 82nd minute after an intentional handball by Jack Charlton on the goal line. [6] The other semi-finals finished 2-1: Franz Beckenbauer provided the winning goal for West Germany as they beat the USSR. Franz Anton Beckenbauer (born September 11, 1945) is a German football coach manager and former player nicknamed der Kaiser Portugal went on to beat the USSR 2-1 to take third place.

Final

London's Wembley Stadium provided the venue for the final, and 98,000 people crammed inside to watch. The 1966 FIFA World Cup Final was the final match in the 1966 World Cup, contested by England and After 12 minutes 32 seconds Helmut Haller had put West Germany ahead, but the score was levelled by Geoff Hurst four minutes later. Helmut Haller (born July 21, 1939 in Augsburg, Germany) was a footballer who represented West Germany at three World Sir Geoffrey Charles Hurst, MBE (born 8 December 1941 in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire) is a former footballer of Martin Peters put England in the lead in the 78th minute; England looked set to claim the title when the referee awarded a free kick to West Germany with one minute left. Martin Stanford Peters MBE, (born 8 November 1943 in Plaistow, London) was a football player and member of the victorious The ball was launched goalward and Wolfgang Weber managed to poke it across the line, with England appealing in vain for handball as the ball came through the crowded penalty area.

With the score level at 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes, the game went to extra time. Aggregated Extra Time (AET, commonly known as extra time is an additional period played in some sports codes if the score is tied at the end of normal time In the 98th minute Hurst found himself on the score sheet again; his shot hit the crossbar, bounced down into the goalmouth just. [7] It has been debated ever since whether it did cross the line, which would have made a crucial difference, since the score towards the end of extra time would have remained at 2-2, and West Germany would not have allowed Hurst the space to score what would have been the third goal. Whether the ball crossed the goal line or not has been a matter of discussion for decades, and the controversial call has become part of World Cup history. Recent digitally-enhanced footage is said to clearly illustrate that Geoff Hurst's second goal did not cross the line [1]. In the last minute it was Hurst again, who dribbled easily through the German half to net his third goal, just as the gathered crowd invaded the pitch to celebrate with the team, thus cementing the victory for England with another controversial goal. This made Geoff Hurst the only player ever to have scored three times in a World Cup final.

BBC commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme's description of the match's closing moments has gone down in history: "Some people are on the pitch. Kenneth Wolstenholme DFC & Bar ( July 17, 1920 - March 25, 2002) was the football commentator for BBC They think it's all over. They think it's all over is a well known quotation popular in England. " (Hurst scores) "It is now!".
