the 1966 England team had a manager that knew what he was doing and a side that was better at keeping possession of the ball,plus Gordon Banks,at that time the best goalkeeper in theworld

I don't disagree with the point being made but perhaps comparisions should always be made for all teams. For example, compare the 2006 Portugal hero with the 1966 one.

Portugal's great Eusabio was not only universally admired for his wonderful skills and goalscoring but probably just as much for the fine example of sportsmanship that he always demonstrated.
