This actually remind me of something. Every time on every big fotball forum England is favorite for the title. My question is - WHY?!?!?! You are going every time with so big expectations and what you have got ? 1 World CUP? ROFL ! When this hapened? Accidently in 66 ROFL. Very poor INDEED

1967 Unofficial World Champions


The clash with England at Wembley in 1967 is undoubtedly Scotland’s most famous victory over the Auld Enemy. It was less than a year since England had been crowned World Champions and they went into this game on the back of a 19 match unbeaten run.

Featuring four of Celtic’s legendary “Lisbon Lions” as well as the likes of Jim Baxter, Denis Law and Billy Bremner, Scotland were still considered massive underdogs for the game.

Denis Law opened the scoring after 27 minutes, bundling the ball home from a rebounded shot by Willie Wallace. Bobby Lennox doubled the advantage on 78 minutes before Jack Charlton, moved to centre forward after sustaining an injury early on, clawed one back for England five minutes before full time. Three minutes later, debutant Jim McCalliog scored to make it 3-1 to the Scots, however Geoff Hurst hit back immediately to make it 3-2.

Famously, as the match drew to a close, Rangers legend Jim Baxter slowed to a walking pace and began playing “keepie uppie”, tormenting England and their support. The amazing victory led fans to playfully dub Scotland the “unofficial world champions”.
As you will all know sadly scottish football is not what it once was.

Lol, yeah, expectations for England are always way too high. I haven't seen a really world class England side since 1970, however, I'm not sure that you can "accidentally" win a world cup.

The England side of 1966 deserved to win the World Cup because they were the best. The team had some of the greatest footballers we have ever seen. The Charlton brothers were magnificent and Booby Moore has never been equalled as a captain and midfield player.

They had guts, unlike subsequent English teams, and I was privileged to be able to see them play.

I'll never forget the family sitting in front of the black and white telly, curtains drawn against the sun watching the 1966 World Cup Final. Thirteen years old and my football viewing had peaked. Watching Leeds can do that for you,

Yes you can. I saw it with my own eyes when Italy took it few years ago. They had to lose vs Australia (Australia were better than them but the were penaltied with unfair Red card! ) in the 1st round after groups. I have to admit that World cup is more often deserved than not so I haven't been or watched the games of England so you are right here. That doesn't change the fact that England is overpriced every time they play football!!!
