Comment on football matches

The 1966 tournament had its fair share of drama even before a ball was kicked. The trophy was stolen, a replica was made, and then the original was found in a hedge by Pickles the dog. Held in England, behind the play of stars like Bobby Charlton and Bobby Moore, the hosts found themselves in the final against the mighty West Germany. And to this day it is one of the most controversial matches in football and in the England-Germany rivalry. This is largely because of one moment in extra time.
