At the start of the England-Argentina rivalry 

Maradona's hand of God was a payback to the English.

if rattin thinks that a german refs going to favour england hes mistaken..wont ever happen

1966 is the most fixed world cup ever!! FIFA at that time i was a accomplise of the conspiracy...in the match argentina england and uruguay germany.....

For the English Supporters who complain about the Argentinians complaining about the referee(s) being biased towards England in this tournament, Can any of you tell me why Nobby Stiles was not sent off during this tournament? Why Mr. Nobby Stiles was not sent off although he was one of the most aggressive and bully players to ever play in a world cup, he did not play football, this guy was just a tackling bullying machine, so if referees were not biased , why did not he was sent off? while Rattin was sent off for arguing too much, Also why did FIFA change the venue of the WC semi final against Portugal? Also why did the Assistant referee give England the goal in the final although it was not inside? And why the hell didn't the referee stop the game when half of the fans were in the pitch? Can any of you answer me?

Essa copa foi comprada para a Inglaterra ganha-lá.

It's a sad fact of life that the host nation always seems to get the rub of the green. Argentina '78 and Korea '02 spring immediately to mind. Don't be surprised to see Brazil to win this year's tournament without a heavy dose of controversy.

Conspiracy theory bollox. You follow a ref around and he doesn't speak your language he thinks its dissent and sends you off. It doesn't take a genius to work that one out

So only '66 and with an asterisk next to it?

If you want to see a corrupt referee watch the 🇮🇹 Italy vs 🇷🇺Netherlands game in the 2000 semifinal of the Euro. German referee was so corrupt Gave Dutch two penalties (Italian goalkeeper stoped both) red card (Italy was played 2/3’s the game 10 men) and a whole bunch of yellow cards along with ignoring blatant calls that favoured Italy like penalty against Dutch... Italy won anyways in penalty shoot out.

argentina were animals. they tried to storm the english dressing room after the game and were lucky not to be arrested. the behaviour of their players in the world club championship matches in the same era was even worse with some of the dirtiest, violent fouls ever seen not to mention the disgraceful actions of their fans at home which included pouring hot coffee on the visiting team's players as they came out ever since then i have cheered after every south american team gets eliminated in the world cup, especially argentina

What a rubbish. I am not English, nor Argentine. I saw the original game. That Rattin was sent off was absolutely justified! Look at Argentina's history of losing matches! They just cannot lose in a decent manner. It's a shame. It's in their culture.

Why do most people say that England's third goal shouldn't have counted ? It was legit, just pause at 6:36 and see for yourself.

hahahahaah still salty

The usual Argentinian loud-mouth complaints.

THE ENGLISH COACH CALLING THE ARGIES ANIMALS,AND NOT LETTING THE PLAYERS EXCHANGE SHIRTS,WHEN HE HAD BEEN HELPED BY A REF THAT HAD SENT OFF A PLAYER THAT SPOKE A LANGUAGE THAT HE DIDN,T UNDERSTAND!!AMAZING!!

That game was robbery. I love it how the English are always talking about Maradona's hand, but never mention how Argentina got robbed in this game

english people always cry about Maradona hand but they dont say anything about how this world cup was fixed

I`am English, and I totally agree with Rattin he is one of my favourite player`s. I would defend him on the issue of the flag he only touched it that`s all. He should have never have been sent off. I would like to know was their a enquiry after the game.

Fixed referee ,Uruguay and Argentina were robbed

He played professional football quite long, he had to work as a counselor after. Footballers back then must have been truly working class.

🇦🇷⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love England and always will BUT they are still stuck in the 1960's in terms of the way the play Football.Other countries like Spain,Germany,Brasil,Argentina,France and Italy have left them for dead long ago at Football World cups.All their top clubs have foreign managers and they no longer have any English coaches of any calibre that could turn them into World beaters (not since the late Bobby Robson).Their clubs are laden down with foreign players who then go to Football World cups for their respective countries only to destroy them (Cristiano Ronaldo with Portugal in 2006 , Luis Suarez with Uruguay in 2014).In the Champions league they are along way off Spanish clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona.Someone needs to get a hold of them and drag them kicking and screaming out of the 1960's. English clubs need to invest in English players !

Maradona didn't cheat. He did justice. RIP this legend

the last line of the video is classic English, Rattin is "unrepentant to the end" HA HA unrepentant for getting enrared for getting robbed?

Regarding what happened during this match and the entire 1966 World Cup, i think english fans can literally shut their mouth on the Maradona "hand of god" or the Lampard disallowed goal in 2010.... and any others incidents which would happen in the next 100 years.

It was written by Brian Glanville (famous British sports journalist) that the German referee commented how Rattin had looked into his eyes and that was cause for provocation, along with his constant complaining. Sorry, but these are not basis for a send off in football. For this reason, I don't blame Argentines for their bitter feeling towards this World Cup, specifically this game.

Argentina had their revenge in 1986 Maradona devastated the defense. And now if they play England will lose badly

This World Cup was certainly the most corrupted of the history. From English players who were deliberately injuring french and portuguese players, Pelé multiple agressions, the ref nominations, the stadium choices, rattin sending off, that famous phantom goal... Everything was built for this English home success.

Whatever Maradonna paid them back through 1986 hand of God...

"England could not lose that match under any circumstances" Didn't the same criteria apply to Argentina in the 1978 final?

Argintinian crying about cheating , that'd like saying a piece of dogsh!t on the ground doesn't smell horrible 😂😂😂

Where is this continual dissent you talk of? Also, how on earth could the ref even understand Rattin. He gave himself away with his reasoning: "I didn't like the look on his face." Yes, great law of the game that one! Your logic (or lack of) astounds me.

I hate to admit it but both happen to be my favourite teams! 😂However this incident happened way before Maradonas 86 heroics! It's just the tragedy of what happened post this WC for England. They somehow just couldn't win it again.☹️ Im trying to Sequence all of them ( English WC tragedies) to the present day. Beaten in qf in 86. Then came the heartbreaking Semifinals in 90 Then again in 98 And again in 2002 And again in 2006 And then again two years ago! It's jinxed for England! Pretty much like the curse of Camelot! Something always goes wrong and they lose out on winning a long deluded WC again and again! However my gut tells me that they can only win it again if they host the tournament! 😁

But who really won that day? England football is still stuck in 1966.Argentina went on to win 2 world cups and later gave the world Lionel Messi .

The only way England can lift a WC. Wait until FIFA concede another WC on your soil. Oh, I have to recall that Pele was brutally kicked.

Very weird FIFA's own channel putting out a video that paints England as cheating a whole World Cup.

Because of this video I saw my great grandad and my grandad as a kid thanks so much

Viva Rattin.

With VAR England would have never won that match and the finale agains Germany.

Disgrace of footbal, disgrace of fifa! Stolen cup for England! they never diserve it!

After listen English people Say maradona is a cheater ...that world cup England 66 is te most cheating ever

That whole world cup was a great robbery.

That was a good World Cup. Great players played in that World Cup. Pele, Eusebio, Yashin, Beckenbauer, Charlton, Moore, Banks.

Why would a German be biased towards England? Rattin just doesn't get it. He seems to be bitter and honestly a cry baby. He's trying to make this all seem like its a conspiracy theory. I saw the highlights of the game and England looked the better team. Even if he didn't get sent off England most likely wins.

1966 was worse then 1990 because there were no cards at that time!

Behind every true football rivalry is a war. Hence, I think really rivalry began only after the Falklands war.

La revancha llegó exactamente 20 años más tarde y en la misma instancia. "EL QUE LE ROBA A UN LADRON TIENE 100 AÑOS DE PERDON" exclama un dicho por estas tierras... Con la PEQUEÑA diferencia de que todos los goles de Argentina en la final del '86 cruzaron la línea de cal. Saludos desde el Puerto de Mar del Plata, Argentina

Un Capitano ha diritto a discutere con l'arbitro. Il gesto di Ramsey, che impedisce lo scambio di maglie, non torna a onore dello stesso.

Daylight robbery, what do you expect pirates. But 20 years after The Great Maradona payed them back.

Argentines are always complaining of injustices...specially in soccer.

no offense but there is no rivalry between these teams. England needs to play at an elite level to consider themselves to be a "rival" of teams like Argentina or Germany. Right now they are a laughingstock. Should never have fired Capello

Viva Argentina.

But when it was played in Argentina 12 years later Argentina DID win and in their own controversial circumstances!

After watching this and seeing the ball never crossed the line you have to admit England were really jammy. I look at 1966 completely differently now. Payback in 1986 with Maradona and 2010 with Frank Lampard. The ghost of 1966 ensured Argentina won in '86 and Germamy won in 2010!

British made football worst.

Apparently post match England made 30 over fouls while Argentina had 19. Pretty sad. I always thought Rattin got sent off because he did do something wrong

From what I know of this incident, Rattín didn't deserve to be sent off. But then in those days, the number of footballers/referees who spoke English was much less than what it is today. If they'd had a common language, it might have been easier to sort the whole thing out (unless the ref really was that biased). Plus, FIFA hadn't introduced yellow and red cards yet at that time.

See, karma always gets england. They got karma for the Argentina match in 1986 and for the Germany match in 2010

Things like this is the reason why nowadays, all match officials must be able to speak English to referee in international tournaments. In addition, most players on the South American teams play in Europe now, so they're more or less able to understand other languages, including English. Just unfortunate that this was not the case back in 1966.

absolutely deserved to be sent off because Rattin thought that he could sway the ref by intimidation and he couldn't thats why hes so out of kilter, his continued discourtesy aggressive and provocative manner were more than enough reason. He kept saying that the ref made decisions that went England's way that is correct, but the decisions went that way for a reason, they were correct decisions, I watched some of the tackles back again the Argentinians put in they were disgraceful, when a team cheats and continues to cheat like that, then the only recourse is to punish them. I'm surprised there wasn't more of the Argentinian team sent off. It was a deserved win by England, the Argentinian team have no class, they are crying babies, because they got caught cheating of course Argentina cheated again 20 years later, and were not caught, that again shows you they have no class any footballer that cheats in that way and doesnt own up to it isn't talented hes a cheat. Lets not try to paint this in any other colour than it is, the Argentinians are cheats they were then they are now.

The referee did give free kicks to England but did not seem biased. Rattin should not have been sent off but I don’t accept there was an arranged conspiracy. In the Uruguay quarter final the two sendings off, Troche and Silva, were for bad fouls but the German players did roll around a lot, as happened when they played Soviet Union in the semis when Chislenko was dismissed. In conclusion I think Argentina were unlucky but certainly not conspired against. I think Alf Ramsey’s involvement was a bit of an over-reaction too.

Every Argentine loves to go on about the situation but completely forgets about the way they bribed the Peruvians to lose more than 4-0 in the 1978 World Cup and don’t get me wrong I love Maradona but they seem to completely forget about his handball goal in the 86 World Cup the true cheating score Argentina 2-1 England

I like Argentina a lot better than England, who didn't even qualify for the knockout stages in World Cup 2014

Enemies yes, argentina hates england .. but rivalry between both teams ?! Hahahaha

But at the same time this was a very dodgy and suspicious thing that happened I feel very sorry for the Argentinians and the Uruguayans for this because that shouldn’t have happened really but it’s history and we can’t change it

Also if I was someone fixing things for England. I would have wanted them playing Uruguay in the Finals certainly not Germany. Germany and Brazil would be the teams you'd least like to play in any Finals

Watch the match and judge for yourself. The complete match exists. Everyone sees the world through rose coloured glasses anyway. Every match your team wins shows supreme talent, every loss is a cheat or injustice. Every youtube discussion degenerates into that at some point.

machine gun in the world cup 66??? 5.40???

Now that was really stupid of him saying that if he didn't get sent off then somebody else would have on Argentina. I just can't take Rattin seriously in this interview. It was a terribly idea for him to squeeze the British flag on the corner flag. Any guy who does that to any country in any venue would get into trouble by fans. It was also disrespectful. Honestly this interview makes him look even worse.

At least Argentina won the World Cup in 1978 fair and square !! Yeah

Ratin ✍️🇦🇷✨️☀️👑 Champiun for Biutifull Play 💚💚💚🥀🥀🥀🥀

It was clear as crystal, German referee, and an English, in charge of West Germany vs Uruguay. Ask yourselves, what did England win after that World Cup, the answer is nothing.

Germany is definitly more of a rival for Argentina than England now cause Argentina has 3 world cups England has only 1 while Germany has 4 even France is starting to become Argentina's rival

Argentina has had the last laugh. England haven’t been in a final since 1966 - while Argentina have reached 5 finals winning 3 times.

Ironic to see some English crying babies calling Maradona a cheat......they robbed an entired WC!!!

Friendly reminder that in the final vs west Germany linesmen were SOVIET.

England won it because they played at home, have they won anything else since then. The answer is no.

Argies complain about cheating 😂

Missed out Englands 3-1 win in the 1962 World Cup

Uruguay was rough against Germany in that WC.

He twisted the British flag, NOT English ...!

This film would be better if it included the refs thoughts as well.

Englabd will never ever win tge World Cup.

lol this guy is bitter and twisted

Dude is so bitter, maybe you should’ve acted better.

He called him a Nazi-Fotze. The Argentine captain's family refused to harbour Nazi war criminals who escaped prosecution after WWII. those were the reason's why he was sent off.

1:51 Roma y Marzolini

Apparently even the Hurst was offside, though it's difficult to tell from the angle shown here.

If you see the fouls of Uruguay-Players against West-Germany, you can understand why they were sent off the pitch. That is what Rattin forgot to say in this documentation.

You know which goal I mean. The second one brilliant though it was, was a consequence of the first, although I am not saying England were better than Argentina in 1986.

Estudiantes vs Milan 1969 Celtic vs Racing 1967 Minute 3:12 What is he complaining about? That IS a foul. No need to keep pestering for an explanation. Clear Foul.

worse world cup ever so dirty

Yeah, in 1966 the German ref was biased in favour of England. lol

Referee made a excuse to send rattin off

alf ramsey! the opposite of a gendleman

I was 13 at the time, and remember the incident well. In the modern game the referee is often surrounded and cajoled by groups of players who are allowed to get away with it. In 1966, dissent was taken much more seriously as it undermines the referee, and people in those days were more respectful of authority. There was also a culture clash, in that South American footballers were more accustomed to arguing with the referee than those in northern Europe. As captain, Rattin should have known this - "asking for an interpreter" is a poor excuse as the only reason to do so would be to argue with the referee. I was unaware that Rattin had twisted the corner flag: it was not this action that incited the crowd, but the 8 minutes in which he refused to leave the pitch. Great goal by Geoff Hurst by the way.

england would never win the worldcup if it wasnt for the behind the scenes work. they played the same way ,longballs and crosses for 50 years . boring

FIFA, CONMEBOL, England, Brazil, Germany, Chile, Uruguay... All always steal to Argentina 😂😂😂

Cheats, dirty cheats. They still are

That explains the falkland problem haha
