2. The Hosts Question 1 The FIFA World Cup 1966 was held in England. It was the eighth staging of the World Cup and 16 countries attended. It was held from the 11 th of July to the 30 th of July. England was chosen to host on August 22 nd, 1960, in Rome, Italy. Ten countries from Europe qualified, four from South America, one from Asia and one from North and Central America. This was the first times North Korea and Portugal qualified for the Cup. Countries qualified for World Cup Country failed to qualify Countries that did not enter World Cup Country not a FIFA member

3. The Finals Question 2 The Finalist were England and Germany. England won the match 4-2. They were the first host to win the Cup since Italy in 1934. Question 3a Haller scored a goal for Germany in the 12 th minute. In the 18 th minute Horst scored for England. And then in the 78 th minute, Peters scored for England. In the 89 th minute Weber scored for Germany, making the score a tie by the 90 th minute. Thirty minutes extra time were added. In the 101 st minute and the 120 th minute Horst scored two goals for England, winning the match. There is much argument on whether the third goal for England should have been given or not.

5. The Terminology Question 3b The ball was passed to Hurst, from which he shot it onto goal line, but right after it was kicked away by the goalie. There was a lot of conflict on the grounds so the referees had to consult the ration lines before awarding the goal. Personally I don’t think the ball went in. Question 3c The defense weren’t very active. They should have marked the attacking teams players, so that they wouldn’t have had room to kick the ball. Also, they could also have tried to simply tackle Horst and get the ball back.

6. The Attacking Team Question 3d Horst had the ball, efficiently avoiding the defenders. He kicked the ball in the to goal and the ball bounced off the post and onto the goal line. The referee had the consult the someone else before awarding the goal. Question 3e Most of the other players on the attacking team were running towards the goal, just incase the ball didn’t go in and and they should kick it in.
