1966 World Cup LIVE (ish)

Recommended Posts

Well so far what's noticeable is that the quality of play is dreadful. A league one team from the modern era could probably take this lot lol

I wondered what MOTD were doing earlier. Keep tweeting "and Hurst scores for England".

 

Those poor people who don't know their football will think we're in the World Cup final.

What's our team and formation?

 

Lined up on the screen as a 433 formation:

 

                          Banks

 

Cohen    Charlton J     Moore    Wilson

 

       Stiles    Charltons R    Peters

 

         Ball            Hurst         Hunt

I'll be honest I know of every single one of those players other than Wilson?

Amazed by the crowd booing the pass back to Banks near the end and the "we want three chants" when it was 2-1

 

I'd be a nervous wreck if England were hanging onto a one goal lead in the round of 16 let alone the final!

Did we win?

 

The Germans made a time machine, killed the Russian linesman's parents before he was born and replaced him with a young Austrian lad decended from the Schicklgrubers.

 

So no... and this also resulted in them winning the war and we now all speak German and are part of the Great Teutonic Empire... in which case, WE DID WIN!

 

Hoorah! :vardy:

Gordon Banks was absolute quality.

 

Certainly up there with the greatest goalkeepers ever. So proud that he represented, and won the World Cup, with England as a Leicester player.

 

Best ever English player?

 

I know that the FA chose Bobby Moore as our single most outstanding player from 1954-2003 in the UEFA Jubilee Awards.

I'd say Moore though, I think he's the obvious choice. Legend. That tackle on Jairzinho remains as classic as Banks' save.

The real question is how many PFA teams of the year were they each in?

 

The answer is 0.

 

Alan Wright > Bobby Moore.
