Well we'll all remember the 1966 WC Finals..... With Brazil not makingt it passed the group stage.... Portugal coming back to beat N. Korea 5 - 3...... and ofcourse England winning their first and only WC. But should England have won it? Portugal were the surprise team of the tournament and they had at the time the best player in the world, the dark stallion Eusebio. Down 3 - 0 against N.Korea, Eusebio scored 3 goals in a Portuguese rally to beat N. Korea 5 - 3. Now many say in the semi final Portugal was robbed. Reports that the queen made the arrangement with FIFA to keep the cup in England. You thoughts... Posts tagged with worldcup | MetaFilter::

He has been World Cup crazy since 1966. He will share his views about the past, . in the unaccustomed role of favorite--and promptly screwed it up.

Well I guess my post really didn't explain that much. What I really asked was your thoughts on the tournament itself.
In the US, this would lead to a lawsuit by survivors and descendants of the incident.

Think about it: the 1998 World Cup final - two goals headed in, .. But for the first time since 1966, Portugal were going to the semifinals.

Faced with evidence like this it's impossible to disagree.
Like ruudboy said. What goes around comes around. sure Portugal had a wondeful team, but what they did in the group stage vs. Brazil was a disgrace.
Would've been cool if N. Korea had beaten them though... an Asian team in the semis!!! And making England's path to the final that much easier, thus adding another twist to how they won the Cup!
Anyways, they (Portugal) tryed with all their might to kill GOD(PELE), i saw a special on it the other day, the hacked and hacked him to death, as far as i'm concerned, that's what they get!

NEVER MESS WITH GOD, see what happened to Portugal when they finally made it in 2002, he never forgets.
If I remember correctly a very clear handball wasn't called against the English.
Don't forget the reparations..
