In these first minutes of the game, the argentinian midfield does not do a good job. It loses too many balls trying to go forward too fast. I was expecting a more talented management of the ball by the argentinians, who were supposed to be very skillful. England put pressure in Argentina intents to organize the offensive, argentinians did not try to move the ball around looking for space, but clash with the english lines and lost the ball 90% of the time.
Ah what's all the fuss about, it was only one of many corrupt and poorly referred matches in the history of Fifa, who refuse even now to use goal line technology which would solve many injustices.
Besides the best thing about 1966 was that Harold Wilson won a landslide election victory, oh yesh
Before the World Cup beginning, the prognosis said that only three South American sides (Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay), was capable to win another World Cup in Europe (remember Brazil´s win in 1958 in Sweden). And the Eurpoean sides was determined to stop this in any cost. The mode that Brazil was kicked out of the tournament, and the suspicious elimination of Argentina and Uruguay (both quarter final matches, the referee was European), make a scar in World Cup credibility.
@G00n3r4Life the 1966 England/Argentina was certainly ONE of the most controversial of that tournament. Also, no question that Maradona's hand ball was also THE most controversial of the 1986 world cup.
By the way, even by their own press, the 1966 English team did not play well until the semis against Portugal.
Everything was set up by Stanley Rose, then the FIFA President, to give England a big chance much greater than fair to win the Cup. But, MadMax is right, Argentina could have done better and cleaner. Before that game, Mexico lost 2-0 but had two chances of scoring against England, Argentina with much better players should have had eight or ten chances, but the argentinians decided on a strategy of anti-football. Onega and Mas were a lot of good players to be used in time wasting.
i saw rattin being interviewed on tv int he 90's. from what he said it was a matter of perception in argentina as regard to the term 'animals'. it would have been more offensive if the argentinian players were referred to as 'playing lke a bunch of schoolgirls.'
...match one of the England players was about to swap shirts and Ramsey ran onto the field and dragged the player and his shirt away with the infamous words, "Don't swap shirts with that animal." Later in an interview he talked about the difficulty of playing the game with "people who conduct themselves like animals."
9:27 Who says diving's a modern thing? Sir Alf Forecasted Brazil wouldn't be a threat but was worried about Argentina. They had a team and tactics to give England problems, yet perversely chose to spoil and foul. Rattin must have had rabbit pie for lunch, he just couldn't keep his trap shut and was mouthing off at the referee at every decision, until the latter got fed up and sent him off: I don't blame him. Still yapping away, it took some eight minutes for him to depart. At the end of the...
engand committed 14 fouls more than argentina. statistics don't lie. the ref was a biased twat who whistled for england on every occasion. he said he sent rattin off cause he didn't like his face. england robbed that game an the whole cup. 20 years later maradona revenged argentina. no fair play against england, not after this game.
@PrettyPiZZAface Maradona hizo dos goles y uno de ellos fue una genialidad, quienes tengan en la cabeza este partido dirán que fue el primero de los goles.
@PrettyPiZZAface So you're saying England shouldnt have won the world cup in 66 even though they were the best team and arguably the best team in 1970 as well. I think you're the one being bias not the referee. If England commited 14 more fouls how could he have blown for England on every occassion it doesnt make sense. Just remeber the Germans created diving and you talk about fair play.
@G00n3r4Life england was not the best team in 1966. they were a strong team among other strong teams. your bullshit media will make sure the people believe england was superior, but they were not. and if you believe in 1970 england was better than brazil, it sums up what i think about england.
nobody accuses brazil 1958 or 1970 or italy 1982 of beeing undeserved wc. but many many people outside the uk say england robbed their wc. and they are right
@PrettyPiZZAface LOL so who exactly was better than England in 1966, since you know so much about football? You claim to have so much knowledge when you dont know the difference between England and the UK. Go to school
@G00n3r4Life england, argentina, russia, brazil were at least the same level as england. angland lost to brazil 5:1 in 1964, the english said it is impossible to stop pele. every referee in the brazil games 1966 was english, in all 3 games. pele was kicked out of the tournament.
but believe whatever you want, i know it is useless to argue with the english. how can i expect that they admit their their only wc-win was a gift from the fifa-boss, the english stanley ross.
@PrettyPiZZAface And Germans are just as stubborn. Its a matter of opinion and obviously being the losing country in the final you're going to be bias. If west germany won by a controversial descision you wouldnt b complaining. I just like to ask without reseraching name 5 players in the russia and argentina team that you so convincingly say were fantastic
@G00n3r4Life i am not a german, i live here but don't support them. in the semis playing at wembley gave england an advantage. the match was scheduled for liverpool, in the last minute portugal should go to london. i am sure portugal was very happy about that. english mentality: win at all cost.
@PrettyPiZZAface Dear whoever im speaking to firstly stop putting down the 66 world cup team and pretending to know so much about football when really you don't, secondly get a life, stop researching fifa corruption. OK , finally you decide to make more pointless, self assured comments make sure you go back school first. thankyou and shut up.
@PrettyPiZZAface So by your fuzzy logic applied, the decision(s) of a 'German' referee two decades earlier gave Maradona the right to be forever recognised as a 'disgusting cheat' in the highest level of the game - 'Hand of Cunt!!'
That's a lie. Rattin yelled at the referee and the referee thought he was insulting him, because of his angry facial expression. Rattin was already cautioned, so it's just normal to send him off.
@PrettyPiZZAface No matter, if some team does 200 fouls, if they do one goal and the other team doesn't, they win, you Argentinians are stupid crybaby, just cause Falklands are ours. We win with goals not fouls. Stupids
Germans and Argetinians Stupids crybaby, we destroyed you both in wars and football.
@WilliamRaleigh7 Of course you are 16. The 1966 WC was 16 years before the Malvinas War you idiot. The referee sent off Rattin 'cause apparently Rattin insulted. How in the name of God a German who doesn't speak Spanish could understand a swear!
@laleli88 Oh really? Everything i see is; We won the War, the Match, 20,30 years before or after, what's the difference? We won, We win, and if it is needed again We'll Win over again, Argentinians, Germans, Stupids they are the same thing.
We play, We fight of a Honourable way but loosers are who create stupid lies just to justify theirs cryings, and after they feed a stupid scorn and they come back against us, to kill some of our Innocent and good brothers, fathers, grandfathers just for it.
@WilliamRaleigh7 "We fight"? You didn't fight anything chubby boy. And are you comparing football with war? OMG... You must have the lowest IQ in your class. Get a life...
This is certainly one of the most controversial matches in World Cup 1966. The Argentinian captain was ejected, almost inexplicably, by the German referee. The Argentinians were so angry that they called the English thieves... this is after Ramsey made the infamous reference of "animals" - which the Argentinians took great offense to.
@G00n3r4Life 1986.Argentina won 1 game of 4 ko.games controversial, but 1966 england won 2 of 3 ko-games controversial! every wc had some luck in some point of the tournament, but england was constantly favoured. and even the semifinal against portugal should never be played at wembley, but in the last second the english changed it.
and statistics don't lie, therer are many articles about argentina-england 1966. england 33 fouls! argentina 19.
@PrettyPiZZAface Talk about clutching at straws, You're saying that playing at Webley won England the match. Ofcourse you're so knowledgable about football so you;re right.......The world cup final finished 4-2 not 3-2 even if geoff hursts second wasnt a goal 3-2 is still a victory. England had the best keeper, the best centre back the best centre midfielder in the world and the best striker despite him not being fit for the world cup. Its a simple fact England deserved to win the world cup
@G00n3r4Life hahaha this is the most stupis comment, but every english uses it. the last hurst goal was a result of germany totally attack england, they would never do that if the score was 2:2.
and you think hurst was better than pele? yeah and glen hoddle was better than maradona.
and russia had the best keeper in the world, jaschin.
however believe what you want, you proved my oppinion about the english and i am not gonna argue anymore, i know it is useless
@PrettyPiZZAface Jimmy Greaves actually mate. Never got to play on the big stage but without doubt one of the best goal scorers ever shame he never had the chance in the world cup. Gordan Banks was the best keeper in the world at that time without question.
