World Cup 1966 - Geoff Hurst's Controversial Goal in Color

Footage from the 1966 World Cup final pitting West Germany against England. Did Geoff Hurst score? It seems he did, but nobody will ever be certain. An incredible shot which wasn't even meant to be so accurate gave England a 3-2 lead over Germany which they increased.

According to a story of when Bakhramov was on his deathbed he was asked how he was so sure it was a goal and he gave the one-word reply "Stalingrad", which is the name of the city in the then Soviet Union in which over 75,000 Soviets died against Nazi Germany.

Are you retarded or just not understand the rules of football.. The ENTIRE ball must cross the line therefore it is NOT a goal..

[Spa9hettipig]

You're a fucking idiot. The ball clearly crossed the line and the back spin from hitting the crossbar caused it to bounce back over the line. You can see it cross the line.

Theentire ball IS all over the line you fuckwit. That's why it was a goaaallllll.

Watched this vid a few times, think its a clever piece of videoediting tbh. The 2 pauses crucial in the latter part of the video clearly pause when the ball is not over the line. Hard to tell. because it's that close and if the ball did cross the line, it was inbetween the 2 pauses. But looking at it, it's the first ten seconds of the vid that are more honest than the rest. Still cant decide, but sorry will be the 1st to dislike, subliminal bias. What u take me for! A fool? Fuck you maing. ;)

Isn't it odd that the untiring campaigners for football justice never seem to bring this up? ;-D
