England for sure. Don't forget Neville and Ferdinand, and as Man Utd fan also we still have some loyalty to Beckham as well. (not his fault he left.) Besides I lost all respect for Argentina with that goal and drug cheat Maradona. It was his Hand of God goal that cost England in the 1986 World Cup. Time for some payback.

Wednesday, 10 April, 2002, 17:49 GMT 18:49 UK    \nEusebio: The Black Pearl\n \n \n \nEusebio won the Golden Boot award in 1966\n\nPortugal did not win the World Cup in 1966, but their star striker certainly caught the imagination of football fans across the world. \nEusebio da Silva Ferreira used his amazing acceleration and dazzling dribbling skills to earn the title of top scorer at the tournament, notching up nine goals. \n\nKnown as "The Black Pearl", he made a tremendous impact on Portuguese football and was one of a group of African players who came to prominence in the 1960s . \n\nHe was born in the then Portuguese territory of Mozambique in 1942 and began his career with Sporting Lourenco-Marques, a nursery club of Sporting Lisbon. \n\n \nEusebio  \nFACTS\n\nBorn: 25/01/42\n\nCountry: Portugal\n\nCaps: 64\n\nGoals: 41\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nWORLD CUP STATS\n\nParticipated: 1966\n\nBronze winner (1966)\n\nTop scorer 1966 - 9 goals\n \n \n\nBut, on arriving in Lisbon at the age of 19, he was snatched by rival club Benfica for a fee of £7,500. \n\nIn one of his first games for the club, Eusebio scored a hat-trick against Santos, a side that included Brazilian star Pele, and confirmed his status as one of Europe's most lethal strikers. \n\nThe following year, he was a member of the first side to beat Real Madrid in a European Cup final when Benfica triumphed 5-3. \n\nHe won 10 league championships, five cups and one European Cup in his 15 years at Benfica and was Portugal's top league scorer between 1964 and 1973. \n\nHis dazzling tally of goals for club and country earned him the prestigious European Footballer of the Year award in 1965. \n\nBut it was a year later that he secured a new following with his performance in the World Cup in England. \n\nAfter winning all their group games and helping to eliminate title-holders Brazil in the first round, newcomers Portugal came from 3-0 down to beat North Korea 5-3 in a dramatic quarter-final, thanks to four goals from Eusebio. \n\nPortugal went on to lose 2-1 in the next round to eventual winners England and a tearful Eusebio left the pitch. \n\nBy then, he had captured the hearts of the British public and his figure was soon added to Madame Tussaud's waxwork collection. \n\nEusebio continued to play at the highest level until 1974, but knee problems had already begun to slow him down. \n\nIn 1975, he moved to the North American Soccer League and then returned to Portugal in 1976/77 to play for SC Beira Mar before further spells in the USA and Mexico.

The 1970 Football World Cup was held in Mexico, from May 31 to June 21. The decision was taken by FIFA in October 1964 in Tokyo, Japan beating to Argentina intentions to organize the event. Two years later was choose to celebrate the 1978 FIFA World Cup. It was won by Brazil, who beat Italy 4-1 in the final. This tournament saw the return of free-flowing, attacking play after the physical battles of 1962 and 1966, and is still considered by many fans to be the finest World Cup in history. Not a single red card was issued in the competition. The Brazilian team, led by Pelé (who was in his fourth and final World Cup), Jairzinho, Rivelino and Tostão, is often regarded as the greatest team ever.\n\nQualification\n\nThe main surprises were the absences in the final 16 of perennial South American contender Argentina, 1968 European Championship runners-up Yugoslavia, and World Cup 1966 third-place finisher Portugal. Holland was still to become a major football power--this would happen four years later--and France, mired in a decade-long slump, had been eliminated.\n\nThe qualification tournament for this World Cup was the cause of the brief Football War between Honduras and El Salvador.\n\nSummary\nThe format of the competition stayed the same as 1966: 16 teams qualified, divided into four groups of four playing each other once in a round-robin format. The top two teams in each group advanced to the quarter-finals.\n\n \nOfficial program of the World CupIn Group 1, host Mexico lived up to the expectations of an entire nation by advancing along with the Soviet Union, though the home side's 1-0 victory over Belgium on the last day resulted from a questionable penalty.\n\nGroup 2 saw Uruguay and defending European Champions Italy prevail over Sweden and surprise qualifier Israel after a series of dull, uninspired games. Italy would, however, show the true measure of its talent in the knock-out phase.\n\nThe first great moments of this memorable World Cup happened in Group 3, where two-time World Cup winner Brazil was pooled with World Champion England and solid European sides Czechoslovakia and Romania. In Brazil's opening match against Czechoslovakia, Pelé audaciously attempted to lob a shot over Czechoslovak goalkeeper Ivo Viktor from the halfway line, missing the goal by a whisker. The "Clash of the Champions" between Brazil and England lived up to all expectations, Brazil winning 1-0 after a high-quality game in which England goalkeeper Gordon Banks made arguably the greatest save ever from a Pelé header on the six-yard line.\n\nIn Group 4, first-time qualifier Peru and its attacking style created a sensation by beating established side Bulgaria 3-2 after trailing 0-2 at halftime. Peru eventually advanced along with 1966 runners-up West Germany.\n\nThe quarter-finals saw a transformed Italy prevail 4-1 over host Mexico after trailing 0-1. Brazil beat Peru 4-2 after an entertaining match between two equally attacking teams. Uruguay defeated a superior Soviet Union side after extra time and a refereeing error, as the linesman did not see that the ball was out of play for the cross that led to the winning goal. The last quarter-final, a rematch of the 1966 final between England and West Germany, was one of the great moments of World Cup history. After fifty minutes, England had a 2-0 lead and seemed to have West Germany firmly in its grasp. England coach Sir Alf Ramsey, sensing that victory was in hand, decided then to substitute playmaker Bobby Charlton 'to spare him for the rest of the tournament.' Without Charlton, England lost its ability to set its own pace on the game and could not contain the relentless German attacks. After Beckenbauer made it 2-1 with a fine shot, West Germany equalized eight minutes from time with an Uwe Seeler header and a fateful hesitation by second-choice goalkeeper Peter Bonetti, who stood in for the food-poisoned Gordon Banks. Momentum had irrevocably shifted and West Germa

One of the goals, the first in extratime which cannoned off the crossbar and downwards, remains controversial to this day, with the Germans insisting the ball never crossed the line.
