Q50*****

The 1966 world cup is only fondly remembered by English and not by the rest of the world. It was marred by poor facilities, bad refereeing against South American nations, blatant cheating and host of other reasons. The prime example were two matches where blatant cheating by referees were involved. In the match between England and Argentina the referee found fault only in Argentinian players and not in the English players at all. The match was a bloody affair

For Arg vs Eng - Eusébio (bow to his greatness), whose Portugal team would play the winners, said: “The referee always seemed to see only the worst faults of the Argentina players. He could not see the faults of the England players.”

The english referees then repaid their dues to the said referees team and the team made it to semi finals.

Which team are we talking about

Ans 50

West Germany and the referee was Rudolf Kreitlein

The Italian newspaper Il Messaggero wrote an article headlined “Scandal in London – too much favouritism for the England team”, which described Rattín’s dismissal as “a colossal injustice which offended against the very essence of sport” and “succeeded in surrounding the England team with a hearty and definite dislike from all who are not blinded by fanaticism”.
