Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester Attendance: 29,886 Referee: Leo CALLAGHAN (Wales) A key group game, as with Brazil being in the group, the other teams may need to win both their other games to progress. Portugal drew first blood after just 2 minutes, and although Hungary equalised 15 minutes into the second half Portugal went ahead again 7 minutes later and then sealed it in the last minute, thus ensuring their first world cup finals game ever ended in a win. Augusto scored 2 of their goals. Eusebio had been their top scorer in qualifying.

Referee: Gottfriend DIENST (Switzerland) Venue: Roker Park, Sunderland Attendance: 27,199 These two teams met 4 years earlier in the 1962 world cup. Chile were the host nation and came out 2-0 winners. The game was remembered more though for violence on the pitch and is nicknamed the "Battle Of Santiago". So there may have been some fears when these two were drawn in the same group. Fortunately there were no such incidents this time, and also a reverse of fortunes as Italy ran out 2-0 winners, and with North Korea still to play, must be favourites to progress from the group, although 4 points is not guaranteed to be enough.

Ridiculous having such a weak team in the competition. They'll be lucky to score a goal, let alone win a game. One could counter argue that it is ridiculous that there is only one representative from Africa (who understandably boycotted at this relative insult, hence the Mozambique born Eusebio is playing for Portugal), Asia & Oceania combined for a so called World Cup. Whilst Australia were beaten 9-2 over two legs in the Play-offs suggests punters are underestimating this communist nation's side of "jockeys". I pretty sure Mozambique is still part of Portugal anyway. Maybe one day they'll get to compete independently and boost the number of African teams. Still, back to North Korea - utter crap. I shudder to think how many Italy will put past them when they meet at Ayresome Park. I might pop along myself.

Several comments about Eusebio being Portuguese as a result of the colonization of Mozambique sent me off to investigate how the colonial world in 1966 differed from today's.
Let's start with two easy ones...
West Germany. Germany lost all of its oversees colonies following World War I. Thus between 1966 and today, the only change has been the reunification of Germany.
Italy. Italy lost all of its oversees colonies as a result of its defeat in World War II. No change between 1966 and today.
Spain. Very little was left in 1966. Since then Equatorial Guinea has gained independence (1968), and Spanish Sahara has been invaded by Morocco, and has remained in an unresolved state of governance for the past 40 years.
France. By my reckoning, three territories have ceased to be governed by France since 1966. Comoros (1975) and Djibouti (1977) have gained independence. Back in 1966, the New Hebrides were jointly run by France and Britain. In 1980, they became independent Vanuatu.
Portugal. By the 1970s, Portugal had become a very weak nation, continuing to cling onto, and govern very badly, a handful of its old colonies. Tragically, almost all of them suffered armed conflict on the way to independence. Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Angola and Sao-Tome & Principe all won independence in 1974-75. East Timor also broke away in 1975, but was promptly invaded by Indonesia. It finally gained independence in 2002. And Macau was handed over to China in 1999.
Britain. Britain had been mostly peacefully decolonising for 20 years by the time of the 1966 World Cup, but it still had plenty to let loose. 1966 itself saw 4 independent countries created - Guyana (May), Botswana (September), Lesotho (October) and Barbados (November). They were followed by Mauritius (1968), Swaziland (1968), Fiji (1970), Bahamas (1973), Grenada (1974), Solomon Islands (1976), Seychelles (1976), Dominica (1978), St Lucia (1979), St Vicent & Grenadines (1979), Vanuatu (1980), Zimbabwe (1980), Belize (1981), Antigua & Barbuda (1981), St Kitts & Nevis (1983), Brunei (1984) and Hong Kong (1997). It is possible I have missed some out.
Soviet Union. And, of course, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1990/91, lead to the (re-)creation of 15 nations:- Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan & Tajikistan.
That's something like a net +43 nations from 1966 to today, just based on the list above, and thus excluding others such as the break-up of Yugoslavia, independent Greenland, the split of Sudan, and so on. Its fair to say the world is a very different place now.

During the course of Friday 15th July and Saturday 16th July, each team will play their second game. These are the scheduled games:
These 4 games all scheduled for Friday 15th July at 19:30
[1] Uruguay vs France (White City stadium. London) [2] Spain vs Switzerland (Hillsborough, Sheffield) [3] Brazil vs Hungary (Goodison Park, Liverpool) [4] Chile vs North Korea (Ayresome Park, Middlesbrough)
Group 1 is wide open with all 4 teams having drawn Groups 2 and 4 we are seeing loser vs loser. If either team loses again they're pretty much out. Group 3 is a winner vs a loser. Brazil winning would pretty much see them through and Hungary out although that's not a guarantee.

Venue: White City Stadium, London Attendance: 45,662 Referee: Karol Galba (Czechoslovakia) For the first time in the tournament we saw a team come from behind to win. France took the lead with a penalty after 15 minutes, but then two goals before half time saw Uruguay take the lead, and they managed to hold on to it to give themselves a foothold in the next round. A draw with Mexico in the final game will guarantee them passage to the next round.

After Pele was ruled out through injuries he sustained against Bulgaria (due to their excessantly fouling him) he was rested for this game, and the question was asked whether they could win without him. It turned out they could not. Hungary took an early lead, and although Brazil equalised shortly after, two second half goals, one of them a penalty, saw Hungary become the first team to beat Brazil in a World Cup since... they did so 12 years earlier. Both teams now have one win and one defeat.

Venue: Ayresome Park, Middlesbrough Attendance: 13,792 Referee: Aly Hussein KANDIL (Egypt) Chile needed a win after losing their opening game, and when they got a penalty on 26 minute looked set to get it. However they couldn't add to it, and were frustrated by an equaliser 2 minutes from the end. So North Korea get on the board with a point and a goal. Only 13,792 bothered to turn up and watch, and having both lost their opening games, it's a fair bet that both sides will go home after their next game.

Venue: Villa Park, Birmingham Attendance: 46,587 Referee: Konstantin ZECEVIC (Yugoslavia) Our second goalless draw of the tournament, and like the first it involved a European team against a South American team, the latter seeming content to take one point against the team they considered their most dangerous opponent of the group. This result means that Switzerland are now definitely eliminated, and so the result may suit Argentina more, who will be playing them and needing only a draw. West Germany have done well but if they lose to Spain they are likely to be eliminated. A draw will also be enough to see them through.

Venue: Old Trafford (Manchester) Attendance: 25,438 Referee: Jose Maria CODESAL (Uruguay) Portugal get their second win, helped by Vutsov's own goal. Their star striker of their qualifying campaign Eusebio also got on the score-sheet. In spite of the fact that Portugal have won both their games now and Bulgaria have lost both of theirs, it is not certain yet that Portugal are through or that Bulgaria are eliminated. If Brazil beat Portugal on their last game and Hungary beat Bulgaria then Brazil, Portugal and Hungary will all have 4 points. If Portugal beat Brazil and Bulgaria beat Hungary, Brazil, Bulgaria and Hungary will all have 2 points. In those cases, it will come down to goal-average.

Both these teams won their first game, so went in knowing another win would definitely see them through to the next round, due to last night's game being drawn. The Soviet Union won with the only goal of the game in the second half, and will definitely be through. Italy are likely to go through with them as they will probably only need a draw against North Korea now, unless Chile somehow thrash the Soviet Union.

Wembley Stadium, LondonAttendance: 92,570Referee: Concetto Lo Bello (Italy)The hosts England comfortably saw off Mexico. Although Roger Hunt had an early headed goal ruled out, a Bobby Charlton shot from outside the area, and a goal that did stand from Hunt from close distance after Calderon could only parry a shot from Jimmy Greaves gave England a 2-0 win. This group is still open but both England and Uruguay can progress by drawing their final games.

I notice that the Uruguay vs France match is to be played at White City Stadium. This is because of the, frankly, astonishing revelation that Wembley refused to cancel its regular greyhound night to host such a trivial event as a World Cup football match. Even more bewildering, when you consider that at the time Uruguay were the joint most successful nation in World Cup history, with 2 wins; and no European nation had qualified for more World Cup tournaments than France. (France also had the best record of any European nation in the 1966 qualifying competition, having won 5 out of 6 matches, and conceded just 2 goals.)
The White City Stadium was in Shepherd's Bush, west London, and had been built to host the 1908 Olympics. It took just 10 months for George Wimpey to construct it. (Yes, the same George Wimpey who founded the company that now has an annual turnover of £3 billion, and numbers the Channel Tunnel amongst its biggest construction projects).
As well as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and the athletics competitions, White City also hosted the swimming, water polo and diving (in an outdoor pool in the middle of the in-field), archery, gymnastics, wrestling, cycling, rugby, football and lacrosse (!)
The finishing line at the White City Stadium was 26 miles and 385 yards from Windsor Castle, and that is why the official distance of today's marathons are such an odd figure.
The stadium was heavily used for training in the build-up to the 1924 Paris Olympics (the ones featured in Chariots of Fire), but two years later it was converted into a speedway and greyhound venue. It hosted the English Greyhound Derby almost every year from 1927 to 1984. The 1939 event, held just 8 weeks before the outbreak of WWII, was attended by over 90,000 spectators. White City was not used for the 1948 London Olympics.
The reinstallation of a running track, inside the greyhound circuit, resulted in world records for Chris Chataway in the 5,000m (1954) and Derek Ibbotson in the mile (1957). Queen's Park Rangers played at White City from 1931-33 and 1962-63 - both occasions were failed attempts to boost attendances. Rock concerts, rugby league, rugby union and boxing events were also staged at White City, but by the 1970s it was in a pretty poor state, hosting just greyhound racing and speedway.
White City Stadium was demolished in 1985. It is commemorated by several plaques at the BBC's White City media village, in a 1989 Pogues song, and in the video for the Human League's "Life On Your Own", which was filmed there shortly before demolition.

Can I just say to schedule teams so that they only have two day breaks between games is scandalous (for France, Spain, Hungary, & Chile).
If they are going to do this then FIFA really needs to look at allowing substitutes (I'd suggest 3) rather than only allowing one substitute if a player is injured and only allowed on the referee's discretion as currently stands....

The teams do have fairly large squads though, so can presumably rotate the players around a bit if tired, although this may cause issues of unfamiliarity. In any case, I think these players should be fit enough to play games a few days apart, even if they have had a moderately long season before.
