And discussing British Prime Minister Harold Wilson austerity measures such as the introduction of the Prices and Incomes Act meaning the most stringent economic measures since World War II, with an additional 10% increase in income taxes, 19 shillings in the pound? I'm not sure the Beatles will be happy paying that. They'll probably emigrate to the USA. They've just finished recording a new album called "Revolver" which will be out at the beginning of August.

Found this buried away in one of the newspapers on the 23rd July:
Saddam Hussein, Deputy Secretary of Iraq's Ba'ath Party, escaped from prison after almost two years of incarceration, where he had been held on charges of conspiracy to assassinate President Abdul Rahman Arif. Saddam and a fellow prisoner were being transported to Baghdad for a trial, and slipped out of the back door of a restaurant where the party had stopped for lunch, and escaped in a waiting car.
This sounds like a scene from a movie, I wonder what will become of him?

Wembley Stadium, LondonAttendance: 90,584Referee: Rudolf Kreitlein (West Germany)
A game that exploded 5 minutes before half time when Antonio Rattin was dismissed. He had been cautioned about 2 minutes earlier then committed a foul for which he may have been dismissed but was not. However just after the free kick was taken we saw him being dismissed for something he said to the referee. He did not simply walk from the pitch though. There was a 5 minute delay whilst most of the Argentinian team left the field of play and officials were brought in, but finally play continued.
Argentina therefore played the second half with 10 against 11 and gave a reasonable account of themselves, although looked content to try to score on the break or take the game to a "coin-toss" if it finished goalless.
However, a Geoff Hurst header from a cross by Martin Peters about 13 minutes from the end gave England enough to take them through to their first semi-final.

Hillsborough Stadium, SheffieldAttendance: 40,007Referee: Jim Finney (England)Another "controversial" quarter-final which saw players dismissed. Uruguay also felt they should have had a penalty early on for handball, when the score was still 0-0. At half time Haller's goal separated the sides. A few minutes into the second half, Uruguay had two players dismissed for violent play. In the last 20 minutes, playing with 9 men was just too much for them and they conceded 3 more goals. South Americans see this and the England vs Argentina quarter final as a conspiracy, with an English referee in this game and a German referee in the other game.

Goodison Park, LiverpoolAttendance: 40,248Referee: Menachem Ashkenazi(Israel)
A shock in the making when North Korea raced into a 3 goal lead in the first 25 minutes. However the steel they showed in keeping out the Italians was not able to keep out one Portuguese player: Eusebio pulled one back right away. Also give credit to Augusto who won Portugal their first penalty just before half time. After the break, at just one goal behind, it was all Portugal and it didn't take them long to complete the turnaround. Another goal from Eusebio after 56 minutes put them level and 3 minutes later, when they couldn't contain him and pulled him down, he won a penalty which he took himself, to make it 4-3. Augusto himself scored the 5th with 10 minutes remaining.

The Soviet Union added a second just after half time with a tap-in at the far post from Porkuyan following a free kick. Hungary did make a game of it when Bene pulled one back in the 57th minute and it required a good save from Yashin to keep out a free-kick later in the half.

There are now only European teams remaining, and all these teams will play 2 more games, as there is a 3rd-place playoff for the losing semi-finalists.
All four group winners went through their quarter-finals. This also happened in 1958, but in 1962 only one of the group winners actually won their quarter final.
(Monday) 25 July 1966, 19:30: West Germany vs Soviet Union (Goodison Park, Liverpool) (Tuesday) 26 July 1966, 19:30: England vs Portugal (Wembley Stadium, London)

Goodison Park, Liverpool Attendance: 38,273 Referee: Concetto Lo Bello (Italy) Lev Yashin is a highly rated goalkeeper and he kept the Germans at bay for long periods, however they made a breakthrough just before the break with a goal from Helmut Haller. Midway through the second half, possibly a mistake by Yashin as Beckenbauer got a second, and it looked like Yashin thought it was going wide. Although they were cruising, a definite goalkeeping error by Hans Tilkowski let the Soviet Union back into the game with about 2 minutes remaining. He's a tall goalkeeper but failed to deal with a high ball into the six yard area that he probably should have caught or at least pushed to safety. Instead he flapped at it and it fell straight to a grateful Porkuyan who made no mistake to halve the deficit. This made a nervious ending for the Germans but they managed to hold on.

Wembley Stadium, LondonAttendance: 94,493Referee: Pierre Schwinte (France)This was always going to be an interesting semi-final. Portugal came in as top scorers, whilst England had not yet conceded a single goal. So once thing was obvious - Portugal couldn't afford to give England a 3-goal start like they did against North Korea. In spite of the somewhat nasty nature of Portugal's game against Brazil and England's against Argentina, this was actually played in good spirits and no player was cautioned throughout the game. Eusebio had a few efforts on goal but when they were on target, he couldn't beat Gordon Banks. In the 30th minute, Roger Hunt got onto a through ball and although Pereira was able to come out and block his shot, the ball fell to Bobby Charlton on the edge of the box to thump home. 10 minutes from time, Geoff Hust played the ball on the edge of the penalty area, crossed in and found Bobby Charlton unmarked to score a second and equal Roger Hunt's record of 4 goals in the competition so far. However the top scorer is still Eusebio of Portugal and he got his chance a minute later when the other Charlton, Jackie, handled a cross in the penalty area and the referee pointed to the spot. Eusebio made no mistake and England conceded their first goal, but like West Germany last night, they held out to win. Eusebio will have a chance to score more goals, possibly against Lev Yashin (if he's picked) as Portugal take on the Soviet Union for 3rd place on Thursday. On Saturday 30th July, it will be the final between England and West Germany.

Wembley Stadium, LondonAttendance: 96,924Referee: Gottfried Dienst(Switzerland)
A high-scoring final but not quite high-enough to stop 1966 being the most defensive World Cup so far. England went into the final having only conceded once, and that a consolation penalty. And for them it was their first time ever past the quarter finals, whereas West Germany had won the World Cup 12 years previously. However England appeared to be a bogey team and they had never beaten them. England also have the advantage of being the host nation. England conceded their first goal from open play in the whole competition after 12 minutes. Ray Wilson should have been in control of a high ball into the box but somehow completely missed his header letting the ball drop just in front of him. Helmut Haller was at hand to shoot past Hurst and into the net. The West German team included 3 players from Borussia Dortmund, who had beaten both West Ham and Liverpool on the way to winning the European Cup Winners Cup. The goalkeeper Tilkowski as well as Held and Emmerich. However after 18 minutes, a West Ham combination would get the better of them. A free kick from a distance was quickly taken by Bobby Moore with the German team seemingly not well organised, and Geoff Hurst ran onto the ball unmarked to head low into the goal, thus levelling the scores. The German goalkeeper put his arm up in protest but probably more at his defence than thinking the goal should not stand. In any case Hurst was not offside and they did not need to wait for the Germans to be ready. So half-time the scores level at 1-1. In the second half, England seemed to be getting more into the game as it went on, and with 12 minutes to go, the Germans failed to clear the ball following a corner and Martin Peters scored to put England 2-1 ahead. This remained the situation as the minutes ticked by. With one minute to go though, a somewhat controversial decision by Swiss referee Gottfried Dienst. Jack Charlton headed a ball clear then his momentum carried him into the back of the German forward Uwe Seeler, but the referee awarded a free kick. Lother Emmerich hit it directly into the wall, hitting George Cohen then falling to Held who shot across goal. The ball hit Schnellinger (on the back, not the arm) and rebounded to Wolfgang Weber who was able to score and take the match into extra-time. Further controversy happened in the first period of extra time. Alan Ball crossed, Geoff Hurst took one touch to control then another to shoot and it hit the underside of the bar, rebounded behind the goalkeeeper then out. But did it cross the line? The referee was uncertain. The linesman, Tofiq Bahramov from Azerbaijan, believed it had and the goal was given. This has remained a discussion point since, although there are not enough camera angles to be certain other than a simulation which suggests that not all of the ball had actually crossed. In the second period of extra time, West Germany were searching for an equaliser. In the last minute, the referee blew for a free kick to England but some people thought it was the final whistle. Once again the Germans were not completely ready as once again Bobby Moore played it to Hurst who ran through towards goal. He elected to take a shot that if it missed would go into the stand and thus play down the clock. As it is, it went in. Some people were already on the pitch. They thought it was all over. It is now.

The final result should have been an England 2-1 win in normal time, as their 2-2 equalizer was never a free kick.
Still with the extra time goals Sky Sports utilized the current goal line technology to prove the ball definitively did cross the whole of the line; whilst the 4th goal should have been disallowed for those English fans intruding upon the pitch, as the referee should have blown his whistle to stop the play in advance of the shot.

I don't know what the rules were in 1966 but these are the rules now:
03.8 Impact of substitute/team official/outside agent touching a ball which is going into the goal
Old text In the situations outlined in 3.6 above the referee must stop play if the ‘intruder’ interferes with play or touches the ball
If an outside agent enters the field of play: • the referee must stop play (although not immediately if the outside agent does not interfere with play) If a ball is going into the goal and the interference does not prevent a defending player playing the ball, the goal is awarded if the ball enters the goal (even if contact was made with the ball) unless the ball enters the opponents’ goal.
_________________
The spectators on the pitch were not interfering with play at the time therefore the referee was right to let the game continue and allow Hurst's goal, assuming the rules back then were as stated here.

Great win for England. Despite conceding a last-gasp equaliser to an incorrectly-awarded set piece, they realised that they were not out of it, and did not bottle it in extra time. Hopefully future England teams (in any sport) will be able to follow this advice if such a thing happens to them in a World Cup final.
Hopefully the first of many major tournament victories.
One hopes that this will be the only controversial decision a Swiss referee ever makes against England in a crucial match.
Maybe one day technology will improve to such an extent that controversies such as this one will no longer occur. However, I do fear that West Germany (or Germany, if they ever subsequently re-unite with East Germany) will continue to be bitter about this (totally disregarding the fact that the game should never have gone into extra time) to the extent that even if England score a goal in such circumstances, and the replays show that the ball clearly did cross the line, they will still claim that it didn't.
One thing that I noticed on the replay was West Germany's goalkeeper claiming to be hurt even though the England players had not touched him. Let's hope this ungentlemanly behaviour does not become standard in this gentlemanly game.
