A Great Moment In British Football

Just as Italy, France or Spain winning the WC wasn't seen as the best moment for "Mediterranean football", the English winning in 1966 had nothing to do with "British football", as there is no such thing.

Strange that no other host has ever been allowed to play all their games at one stadium, have fans running on the pitch during a game, have the captain of their most dangerous rivals wrongly sent off, or have a goal allowed when it clearly never crossed the line. Probably fitting that the lady who presented the trophy would much preferred to give it to the runners up, after all its really her country.

Thankfully one may sleep easily in the certainty that such a thing will never occur again.
