England 1-0 Argentina

Hurst 78’

England through to Semi-Final after an amazing one nil win over the South American greats and a game that saw great determination from the English. Geoff Hurst’s seventy eighth minute goal was the goal to seal the path through to the Semis. During that controversial game Argentina's Antonio Rattín became the first player to be sent off in a senior international football match at Wembley. Afterwards, the German referee, Rudolf Kreitlein, said that he had sent off Rattín because he didn't like how he had looked at him. 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 Argentineans team with 10 players. This game, even today, is called by

Argentina as el robo del siglo (the robbery of the century)

brought great controversy was also the beginning of something special for the English.At this point, all semi-finalists were from Europe. The semi-final between England and Portugal was controversial as well. Liverpool was the original venue for the first semi-final. However, due

to intervention of the English officials, the venue changed to Wembley. Eusebio alone had 4 goals wrongfully called back by the offside flag while Bobby Charlton scored both goals in

England's triumph against Portugal. Portugal's goal came from a penalty kick in the 82nd minute after an intentional handball by Jack Charlton on the goal line.

London's Wembley Stadium provided the venue for the final, and 98,000 people crammed inside to watch. After 12 minutes 32 seconds Helmut Haller had put West Germany ahead, but the score was levelled by Geoff Hurst four minutes later. 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. The ball was launched goal ward 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. In the 98th

minute Hurst found himself on the score sheet again; his shot hit the crossbar, bounced down into the goalmouth just. 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. 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.

“The World Cup is a truly international event”

“Yes, yes, yes - no! The linesman says no!

The linesman says no... It's a goal! It's a

goal! Oh, and the Germans go mad at the

referee! This linesman, at the linesman, who

can only speak Russian and Turkish...”“It's only twelve inches high, solid gold, and it means that England are

the world champions”
