@badradger saidYeah; the winning goals in both 1966 and 1974 were illegal, and both championships should have been reversed.

@badradger saidOf course the 2-1 was offside already and the 3-2 was not a goal...

@badradger saidAgreed, Those were the days before replay which would change the way the game was called. They also added a referee having 2 instead of just 1. Even then they both miss things and it has to go to the replay. If the replay is inconclusive they will go with the call on the ice.

@very-rusty saidErm... neither England team has won anything since 1966... Even both Dutch teams have done (slightly) better since 1967.
I love how dedicated the English football/soccer fans are. Kind of like the Toronto Maple leaf fans only the English football/soccer team has won more Championships than the the Toronto Maple leaf's since 1967.
@shallow-blue saidYes Toronto beat Montreal In 1967 for the Stanley cup, look it up my friend.
