An image of the unique atmosphere of sportsmanship that is lived between these two teams during that memorable match sisters to pass into the annals of the world as one of the most colorful and entertaining in recent memory. (Double click to enlarge any photo).
readers
Dear friends let me take my leave to dedicate this weekly column about issues outside of bullfighting or the study of civil war in our chronic usual. But again the very latest pushes us to address an issue that I hope will be of interest. In our report of last week we collected the sad news of the death of the illustrious writer José Saramago Luso, a man of deep pro-Iberian ideals, who always defended the union of Portugal and Spain, who always advocated the creation of an Iberian Federation that would unite the two countries, and if I could have seen yesterday's match selections from both countries would no doubt have suffered in contemplating the fratricidal duel. The game was epic, the best on record in the final stages of a world championship, with beautiful moves by both sides and with a total commitment of all players including highlighted is undoubtedly the best player in the world far, which is nothing Cristiano Ronaldo, which would come together one of the best performances of his career, marred only by the equally meritorious performance of national team goalkeeper Iker Casillas, known as the "Holy" which made several stops that prevented great merit Jabulani the ball so many headaches is giving to other keepers had just hosted on the network. I can not escape the image to see players from both teams sharing a common shirt in Iberian selection, a combination that would be invincible, and to complete the dream, to see that team coached by Mourinho, one of the best coaches of all times. Or "jogo bonito", or "Clockwork Orange" or "Azzurri", or milk, the "Iberian."

But the match played last night deserved a different outcome, that breakneck pace, this succession of beautiful moves, the sportsmanship and respect between players, this sublime spectacle that we saw, should have been decided on sporting merit. However, another controversial refereeing decision (and many are already sounded in this tournament) gave victory to Spain, which we welcome wholeheartedly, but we'd like to happen differently, dear friends and readers that the goal that gave Spain's victory was achieved in an offside clear that neither the linesman or the referee of the match saw. We do not know what is happening in this world with the arbitrators may act stunned by the buzz of vuvuzelas, but the level of errors is tremendous, something that begins to look suspiciously Villarato that we suffer in this country for a few seasons ago . But in the world refereeing errors are nothing new, we will travel back in time to a day such as today, 30 June, but 44 years ago, the World Cup 1966. Be swept away dear readers, you will be taken ...

London, June 30, 1966. Wembley Stadium, sunny afternoon, and England face Germany in the World Championship final. He chairs the party's Queen Elizabeth II and with it the FIFA president Sir Stanley Rous, a former college and one of the authors of the new football rules approved in 1938, the English Civil War. Since it began, the World Cup, the championship has been involved in the arbitration dispute, with some very dubious actions that would raise many suspicions. Years later also became president of FIFA, Joao Havelange of Brazil (not that this man complained of arbitration), manifest the desire of Sir Stanley was that Germany and England will play the final, and of course winner is the host country.

teams who felt most affected were South Americans, mainly Brazil, which would be eliminated after controversial refereeing. The Brazilian team he refereed three matches and "coincidences" of the fate of the three referees and six linesmen who played in luck, seven were British and two German readers have to see friends and flies SOL things have lady luck. There was everything in this world, if England used the black arts to seize control of the sea, also would do to gain dominance of world football. Would take too long to enumerate all the blunders arbitration that took place in the championship, but let me tell some of them we rescued from the archive of this taurine-guerracivilero weekly, now in an extraordinary way you talk about football.

Rattin Argentine captain is sent off in the England-Argentina World Cup 1966.

One of the most famous took place in the England-Argentina match, refereed by a German Rudolf casually Kreitlein this inexplicably expelled the Argentine captain Antonio Rattin after this he protested a foul (some attributed the decision to Argentina looked at him wrong.) At that time had not been invented cards (will be created from this incident) and when the braid was saying "außerhalb des Spielfelds "Argentina would reply" but you say idiot. " It lasted nearly a quarter of an hour, between the referee and small gestures of outrage from the albicelestes who claimed the presence of an interpreter. In the end the good Rattin left the field, and not think of anything else to go and sit on the royal carpet to watch the rest of the game, next to the stage for his gracious majesty that should not make for very funny very funny whatever. After resting his buttocks plebeian, he went to the locker room, but not before a flag in tatters with the British flag and addressed the fans after the cry of "animals, animals ", a clever word viewer would use to start a rock band that would become famous later. And when things go wrong it is difficult to straighten, and more if what happened had to happen, is that England won, and a fluke goal, keep in mind that it was not a fluke Argentine defender, I mean it was a lucky goal, good for Britain and bad for the Argentines. In the end, fans and components albiceleste bench, went to the college often (small in size, as it was so tiny it was known as "the satrecillo") enabling the odd campion to Beny Hill in his shiny bald until was taken to the locker room under police protection.

The referee of the 1966 Argentina-England escorted out by police after being greeted warmly by the players and members of the Argentine bench.
selection
But perhaps the hardest hit during that whole world outside of Brazil, led by one of the best players of all time, Pele. The selection canarinha, who had won the two previous world of Chile and Sweden, would suffer terrible three arbitration that would eventually apearla in the first phase of the tournament. Of these the worst memory of the Brazilians was the one led by the English, what a coincidence, George McCabe played in the match against Portugal's Eusebio, the Black Panther. The game was developed with great harshness, particularly by the Luso who made countless mistakes some of great violence, under the indifferent gaze of the school that seemed to look the other way, as if searching for someone in the stands. Pele did not end the match, having to retire injured after repeated entries suffered during the meeting, which would eventually be won by the Portuguese by 3 to 1 with two goals from Eusebio. Before starting the Brazilian championship was one of the leading candidates to claim victory, something he should not square very well in the plans FIFA and Sir Stanley Rous, especially in a year that celebrated the centennial of the FA, who had planned a final for the championship.

Finally, Germany and England would be the two teams would reach the final, a game full of symbolism to just over 20 years of World War II ended. Wembley Stadium had an impressive sight with its 100,000 villages and occupied the royal box, refereed the match the Swiss Gottfried Dienst. Opening the scoring started the German team, which would mark by Haller in 12 but would take them little joy as empetaba Hurst on 18. After the break the tie remained for many minutes, until the 78 Peters marked for England. Without a minute to finish the game all seemed determined, but the German Weber would tie in 89 with a controversial goal. End the game and begin the extension, and at auction would Hurst's third goal of the British and the controversy. Surely this has been the most controversial goal in the entire history of the world.

ghost of Hurst's goal in the 1966 World Cup final would give the victory to England against Germany.

The ball reaches the striker Hurst which is inside the box and hit the ball with your right leg by beating the goalkeeper, the ball after hitting the crossbar, bounces over the line by returning to the pitch where a corner is cleared by a German player. The British player celebrating a goal, while the Germans protest to a referee doubtful that after consulting the linesman, the Azerbaijani, but would go down in posterity as the "Russian Line", Tofik Bakhramov (look at this name), give as a valid a goal that never should have gone to the marker. England mark another more goal in overtime, as about to end, and perhaps influenced by the goal to limit time trial marked by the Germans in the second half, fans invaded the pitch before the college will beep the end of the match, when England will mark his fourth goal, the referee surprisingly give as valid even when fans invaded the pitch, ending the game with a 4-2. Finally, and not without much effort, especially the organizers who made intensively in the dispatches, the inventors of football could lift the trophy. And thanks to the efforts of a friendly dog \u200b\u200bnamed Pickles, another World Cup star, who was found buried in a garden won the Jules Rimet trophy as he stood exposed in Westminster Abbey.

Another global players in 1966, Pickles the dog would find the Jules Rimet trophy was stolen while it was exposed in Westminster Abbey.

As you know well dear readers, the paths of history are intricate, and its threads are interwoven in such a way that when you are one of them can get to places and moments that one never could have imagined at the start of his career. We talked about bad refereeing, and also in the offices of tinkering, but surely very few of you, if any, has come to think that the championship won by England could be related to the Battle of Stalingrad. Well so my friends, a the reporter asked "Russian line" why he had given the goal, and this answer: "Is the goal?, for Stalingrad." The Azeris had fought in the Soviet army in that terrible battle that cost the lives of four million people since June 1942 to February 1943, to that goal was his way of recouping the hardships of those years. You all think that this man after that, leave the arbitration and would lead a dull life, they are wrong, the friend Tofik happened to be an idol, whether in England (not named him as Sir Francis Drake, another marine chorizo , that was much singing, but almost) as in their own country, where even the biggest football stadium and important bearing his name, he has erected a large statue at the entrance. In 2004 selections from Azerbaijan and England clashed in a qualifying match, there was a British fans pilgrimage to the tomb of this legendary character, and Michel Platini accompanied by FIFA president Joseph Blatter and vice versa, attended the event. The world upside down, the leaders of sport honoring a cheat.

Geoff Hurst, the author of the controversial goal in the final of 1966 stands next to the statue of the linesman Tofik Bakhramov in the city of Baku in Azerbaijan. To fund the stadium that bears the name of the college also Azerbaijani, almost a national hero in his country.

Of course, as the saying goes well "of the powders are this mud", and at this World Cup South Africa we are witnessing a sorry spectacle arbitration with blunders, for which the own Blatter, FIFA president of the powerful has had to apologize publicly, something unthinkable not long ago in this superb organization that is able to impose their will on some countries. Anyway, it remains paradoxical that the same person who a few years ago put flowers at the statue of "Russian online" now regret the errors arbitration. How to stay friend Joseph?. Let us hope that these promised reforms in the arbitral estate also reach the English league, which spent two years attending favoring arbitration always embarrassing himself, the famous Villarato that we mentioned above, which dwarfs the country category in the league.

But as we said before the paths of history are intricate, and cross over, go back and forth, for no apparent reason on many occasions. And if there is something like divine justice, or the inexorable fate that put everything in place, we can say that last Sunday attended one of these episodes. They turned to face Germany and England in the World Cup. The Germans got ahead 2-0 in the first half, and apparently in the field it seemed impossible to escape the bad game match against the British, but the Islanders players seemed to forget for a moment of tactical rigor Capello , in a reaction that here before discovering the touch knew as anger, scored the first goal that shortened distances, and soon after an impressive Lampard whiplash from the edge of the area past goalkeeper, the ball after hitting the crossbar was introduced into the goal bouncing three feet inside the same, but due to the power of the shot and down, the ball re-entered the pitch and from the floor was picked up by Germany goalkeeper. While the British held the field, Capello was dreaming of a paradise in which the Iberian hams hang from the trees and Buckingham Palace opened another Beefeater, the referee inexplicably ordered out the goalkeeper. The goal had not existed, after 44 years justice was done. Maybe one day we learn that the linesman was fighting in the Falklands.

The English ghost goal Lampard won against Germany in the World Cup and did not rise to the marker.

But this was not the first time that the perfidious Albion has had to pay for their misdeeds, and not dear readers, we will not talk to that legendary goal in the World Zarra Brazil, let's talk about another case justice, in this case if it "divine" because after she was the "hand of God." He was contesting the World Championship in Mexico in 1986, faced in the field of play England and Argentina, a few years earlier had fought militarily by the possession of the Falkland Islands. The first half had ended goalless, and within minutes of starting the second period turned the ball reaches the area pumping small where the goalkeeper Peter Shilton struggle to catch a ball with his hands Maradona air, six inches lower than the goalkeeper, is top of my head, but the Argentine is incomprehensible that manages to hit the ball enters the goal to the astonished eyes of the English that do not believe what happened. The graphic footage uncover the mystery, the Argentine star, a true god in his country, aided by his hand to hit the ball, the goal has been the work of "the hand of God." Later in the same match, Maradona would mark perhaps the best goal ever in a World Cup and his team end up winning by 2 1. Once again justice was done, Argentina had taken revenge for that game in 1966 where he was expelled from his captain Rattin and losing the Narrabeen albiceleste as above. Right now, Diego Armando Maradona is Argentina's national team coach, and is a sentence you start to be known as the "Jabulani" because it makes things very rare. It is clear that this man could not overcome his time at FC Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthere are things that mark forever.

work The goal of the "Hand of God" marked on the world that would give Mexico and Argentina's victory, the final winner of the tournament, against England. Next Saturday

Spain faces Paraguay to advance to the semifinals of this tournament and is a favorite to win the final victory, something that the Red has not yet managed in all the world who have participated. Indeed, the first world that Spain played was durente the time of the Republic, in 1934 world be played in Italy where he ruled at that time Benito Mussolini. Legendary names played in Spain as Real Madrid Zamora, Ciriaco, Quincoces and Regueiro, not in vain Madrid was the most successful team during the Republican period, and was also one of the favorites to win the title, but had the bad fortune to deal with Italy, tying the first game and lost one 1-0 in the tiebreaker, with again a few arbitrations handled by the pressures of the Mussolini regime, which would make Italy finally boosted with the victory in the final. Notice how would the actions of the two colleges that whistled to Spain, the two referees were expelled for life by their own federations. The world of 34 held in Italy was the first blatant manipulation case football, Mussolini needed victory for his team as a publicity stunt to show the world the power of his fascist regime, for it would nationalize several Argentine players as Luis Monti, Raimundo Orsi , Guaita and Demaria, and Brazilian Marques Anfhiloquio Filo, Italianate and Anfilogino Guarisi. Monti had played the 1930 World Cup final with Argentina in Uruguay, a tournament won by the hosts, where he was threatened with death if he won. Years later, referring to both global declared: "In 1930, in Uruguay, I wanted to kill him if he won, and in Italy, four years later, if he lost." Italy won the final in overtime to Czechoslovakia, then a more contentious arbitration.

is said that Mussolini had a conversation with Giorgio Vaccaro (who even has a name of crooner era army general) president of the Italian Football Federation and member of the Intenational Olympic Committee, which ran in these terms:

-Mussolini: "I can not do, but Italy must win this championship."
-Vaccaro: "We will do everything ...".
-Mussolini: "I'm not well understood, general ... Italy must win this World Cup.'s An order."

Italians celebrate Italy's World Cup achievement in 1934, got more than suspicious following pressure from Mussolini.

At the start of civil war the English football team was one of the most powerful in the world, whose backbone was formed by players of Madrid, as stated above the most important equipment of the republican era, not in vain for the Madrid (and not Real, that these things during the Republic were not frowned upon) was the new champion of the last official title held at the national level few days before the start of the uprising. We refer to the President's Cup of the Republic, who won the Madrid team to face in the final held in Valencia FC Barcelona by 2 to 1, epic game that will be remembered for the now legendary photo of the impressive stretch of clearing a Ricardo Zamora Escolá throw avoiding the Barça team tie. The reception team at the station Atocha in Madrid was tremendous, with thousands of people on the street, the latest sign of spontaneous joy before the start of the disaster a few days later. We have almost completed at this writing an outstanding article on the history of Madrid from its origins to the cruel war that someday publish somewhere.

War Spain would prevent the global contest of 1938, most decaffeinated and thinned by the international political climate, held in France and won it again in the Italy of Mussolini that his players would play with black shirt, symbol of Italian Fascism . Before the final coach Vittorio Pozzo receive a telegram from the Duce disturbing in that read "Victory or death." The war also depart the national team in two, leaving the players divided between the two sides, though most in the Republican to be the most important teams and more players contributed Bilbao, Barcelona and Madrid. Some players would die during the conflict, either because of repression or the fighting, others were about to do so as Zamora himself imprisoned in Madrid at the beginning of the conflict, and many others would have to go into exile forever.

Euskadi selection in 1937 during the English civil war.

There was no Republican combined to play international matches, but if you did a combination of Basque players who formed the selection of Euskadi, which play several matches abroad, leaving many players and definitely the exile, mainly Mexico, also Barcelona toured individually during the war. But in Franco's Spain if they were played international matches, though unofficial, during the war and immediate postwar period, and how could it be otherwise, all those games were played against the team of neighboring Portugal, governed by the pro-Franco regime of Oliveira Salazar. The first match be played in Vigo in November 1937, losing Spain by 2-1, then again losing 1-0 in January 1938 in a match played in Lisbon and did not play again until after the war ended in 1941, in a game back in Lisbon where he would win the Luso combined 2 to 1, in a friendly but formal. It would see both teams in March of that year in Bilbao, where the English team would be imposed by a convincing 5-1. During World War II, Spain would play well only with Portugal, with teams from Germany and Italy, plus a game against France 1942 or against Switzerland. Until the fifties, Spain would never recover the pace of international competition.

Well we are here dear readers and we hope to resume from next week now-guerracivilera taurine, a hallmark of our publication, even if the very latest the places we do not hesitate to discuss any issue, including football and global. Florentino
