World Cup 1966

 

At the 1960 Congress held in Rome, England was awarded the hosting rights. The selection was made in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the English Football Association, a celebration that took place in 1963. Entries for the tournament remained open until December 15, 1963, and the draw for the qualifiers was held on March 31, 1964.

The problems for the organizers began early, as they had to face several disagreements with the African federations. These demanded that a direct berth be granted to the continental champion rather than having that winner face the Asian champion for a single place. Furthermore, at the 1964 Tokyo Congress, the United Arab Republic requested that FIFA suspend South Africa from the organization due to its racial policy—something FIFA accepted, expelling the country from the tournament. Despite this, the African teams and most of the Asian teams withdrew, leaving the qualification in that zone with only two teams. The venue for the qualifying playoff was also a headache for FIFA, as it had been decided that the matches would be held in Japan in April 1965, but since no agreement was reached regarding the match dates, the venue had to be moved to Cambodia in November of the same year, where the matches were finally played.

The qualifiers produced several surprises, such as the elimination of the previous World Cup runner-up, Czechoslovakia, at the hands of Portugal, which had assembled a strong team based on Benfica and led by their great star, Eusébio.

Yugoslavia, for its part, finished third in a group won by France, who returned to the World Cup after their excellent performance in 1958. Bulgaria had to return to Italy, as it had four years earlier, to play a playoff match—this time against Belgium—in order to secure their qualification.

West Germany recovered from a 1–1 home draw against Sweden in their first match and won the remaining three to qualify without major problems. Switzerland qualified after coming out on top in a tight battle with Northern Ireland and the Netherlands. Meanwhile, Hungary (the Olympic champions), the Soviet Union, and Italy all qualified as well. Spain, the 1964 European champions, had to fight through three matches to secure their spot against the Republic of Ireland.

In South America, the same teams from four years earlier qualified, although it should be noted that Chile—third at the previous World Cup—required a playoff match against Ecuador after both teams finished tied in their qualifying group. Mexico reaffirmed its dominance in the North and Central American zone, while North Korea surprised the Australians and eliminated them from the tournament.

Defending champions Brazil faced a renewal phase in their squad and had alternated good and bad results since the final in Santiago, Chile. The team once again had Vicente Feola as coach, but internal divisions arose due to interference from the head of the delegation, Carlos Nascimento. When the time came to choose the final squad, he had to deal with the anger of the veterans, who argued that some of the players who had been sent home should have remained on the team. Meanwhile, the host nation had a new coach, Alf Ramsey, who had taken over after Walter Winterbottom stepped down following the 1962 World Cup in Chile. Ramsey, who had achieved great success with Ipswich Town in domestic competitions, had not been able to reproduce the same level of results with the national team and, like the Brazilians, had alternated good and bad performances.

The scandals of the Cup centered around the refereeing. According to many, it was a tournament organized so that the hosts would win the title and Brazil would be sent home early. Brazil’s matches were officiated by a German referee and two English referees, who offered no protection to the Brazilians—especially Pelé—against rival defenders who “confused” the Brazilians’ legs with footballs and delivered all kinds of kicks. Pelé became an easy target for Zhechev in the first match, and the Bulgarian’s rough treatment kept O Rei out of the second match. He returned for the game against Portugal only to receive further blows from Morais, leaving Pelé limping on one leg for the remainder of the match. After Brazil’s elimination, Uruguay and Argentina became the next victims. The quarterfinal match between Uruguay and West Germany was officiated by an English referee who sent two Uruguayan players off early, while the Argentines saw their captain, Rattín, sent off by German referee Kreitlein. Such refereeing caused a rift between the South American and European federations and would undoubtedly be one of the reasons that cost Stanley Rous the FIFA presidency.

England claimed the title by defeating the Germans in a controversial match still debated today over whether the tie-breaking goal in favor of England had fully crossed the line. Germany fielded a compact team led by a 19-year-old who would become one of the greatest players in football history—Franz Beckenbauer. Portugal, led by Eusébio, overcame a scare against North Korea in the quarterfinals and secured third place by defeating the Soviets, whose standout player was the legendary Lev Yashin, who was finally able to display his full quality at a World Cup. But without a doubt, the biggest surprise of the tournament was the Korean team. Initially regarded as an easy opponent, the Asian side shocked the world by eliminating Italy and came close to repeating the feat against Portugal, whom they led 3–0 after just 25 minutes before ultimately losing 3–5.

CURIOSITIES AND OTHER INTERESTING FACTS

– On Sunday, March 20, 1966, the Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen from Westminster Central Hall, where it was on display. A week later it was found wrapped in newspaper by a dog named “Pickles.” The dog discovered it under a tree in a garden in the outskirts of London, in the Beulah Hill neighborhood, where its owner, David Corbett, was taking it for a walk. The discovery earned Corbett a reward of £6,000.

– For the first time, a mascot was used to promote the event. It was a little lion dressed as a footballer named “Willie.”

– Three hundred footballs were manufactured especially for the tournament. They featured elongated panels and came in yellow, orange, and white models.

– North Korea brought 12 official supporters, selected by the government through a contest in which 10,000 North Koreans participated.

– One of the most controversial decisions of the Cup was Rattín’s expulsion in the Argentina–England match. In the 36th minute, the referee decided to send off the Argentine captain. Rattín refused to leave the pitch, argued for ten minutes, gestured angrily, asked for an interpreter to communicate with the German referee Kreitlein, then sat on the carpet that connected the Queen’s box to the field. Finally, he crumpled the corner flag and left.

– Speaking about his expulsion against England, Rattín recalled years later: “I didn’t know what that carpet meant. I saw it was dry and lay down on it to rest and watch the match a little longer. Then I left because people were throwing chocolate at me. Since I was a bit hungry, and to annoy them, I ate the chocolates while walking slowly. When I reached the corner flag, I grabbed the English flag, twisted it, insulted them, and they started throwing beer cans at me. I left because they were either going to get me drunk or kill me.”

– Once the match between England and Argentina ended, English coach Alf Ramsey ran onto the pitch—not to celebrate, but to prevent his players from exchanging shirts with the Argentine players, telling his men: “We don’t swap shirts with animals.”

– The match between France and Uruguay had to be played at White City Stadium because on the scheduled day, a dog race was taking place at Wembley Stadium, the original venue for the match. The stadium owner refused to cancel the race.

– Regarding the final incident in the England–Argentina match, in which the Argentine players surrounded the referee, José Omar Pastoriza later declared: “I ran onto the pitch and hit him. What else was I supposed to do? Sorry, but I hit him. How was I going to stay calm after that guy robbed us shamefully?”

– Italy’s elimination at the hands of North Korea in the first round was unacceptable to Italian tifosi, so the destination of the team’s return flight was kept secret to avoid furious fans and the press. Even so, some supporters discovered the arrival location and “welcomed” the players with a rain of rotten fruits and vegetables, as well as insults, including a sign that read “ITALY VOMITS YOU.”

– Gottfried Dienst, the Swiss referee who validated the most controversial goal in World Cup history (England’s third goal against West Germany in the final), responded when questioned: “I sleep soundly; I know the ball went in.”

– In this World Cup, Mexican goalkeeper Antonio Carbajal became the first player to participate in five World Cups.

– One of football’s ironies took place in this World Cup. Bauer, a member of the Brazilian national team in 1950 and 1954, was playing a friendly match in Mozambique when he met Eusébio. He immediately recommended that Benfica sign him. Years later, Eusébio’s two goals would eliminate Brazil from the tournament.

– Bulgaria became the first country to score two own goals in the same World Cup.

– Geoff Hurst became the only player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.

– On July 30, 1995, wearing a shirt and tie and football boots, Hurst reenacted his famous shot at Wembley Stadium. From outside the box he shot the ball toward the goal; after hitting the crossbar, the ball bounced toward the grass and struck the goal line. “Definitely a goal,” the player simply said.

– The Koreans were so convinced they would be eliminated after the first round that they had already bought return tickets for after the match against Italy. After defeating the Italians, they had to cancel their tickets and buy new ones. Since they had no hotel reservations and all accommodations were fully booked, they had to accept the offer of a religious group that lent them its facilities.

– After the defeat against North Korea, some Italian players insinuated that the Koreans, taking advantage of the physical similarity of their squad members, had swapped some of their starters at halftime—something that was never proven.

– Following Brazil’s early elimination, Brazilian coach Vicente Feola did not return home with the rest of the team. When asked why, Feola declared: “I’m going to wait until things calm down. If I return now, I’m afraid they’ll try to kill me.”

– After the defeat against the hosts, the Argentine team was invited to a reception. The squad was lined up, and next to “Mono” Mas stood a short, somewhat old, and very ugly woman. Mas, believing she wouldn’t understand him, said to her face: “You’re really ugly.” The woman replied: “And you’re not exactly handsome yourself.” She was the translator assigned to the Argentine team.

– Just before the match against Portugal, Hungarian goalkeeper Szentmihály hit his head on a goalpost while trying to block a teammate’s shot. The goalkeeper was treated for several minutes by the team doctor. When the match began, he was still dizzy, and his poor performance was one of the keys to the team’s 1–3 loss to the Portuguese.

– The siblings in this World Cup were English players Robert Charlton and John Charlton.

– Among the players who were not born in the countries they represented were:

France: Nestor Combi and Héctor Adolfo de Bourgoing, born in Argentina
Portugal: Eusébio, Hilario Conceição, Lucas Vicente, and Mario Coluna, born in Mozambique (at the time a Portuguese colony)

                                                                        Squads

“As in the previous World Cup, one month before the registration deadline each national team had to submit a list of 40 players, from which the final 22 had to be selected before July 3. Once registrations were closed, no changes to the squads were allowed. For this World Cup, the only amateur teams were those from the socialist bloc —such as the Soviet Union, Hungary, North Korea, and Bulgaria, although the latter is questionable— while the only country that did not have a unified national league was Brazil.”
