1966 World Cup

England              3 - 1 Argentina
23' Roger Hunt             88' Luis Artime
46' Martin Peters
93' Geoff Hurst


Portugal             2 - 1 North Korea
48' Eusebio                93' Yang Seung-kook

A truly fortuitous Third Die roll propels Uruguay to the shocking upset. Uruguay had only a 5.5% chance of getting that particular Third Die roll combination!



Soviet Union         1 - 2 Hungary
53' Eduard Malofeyev        6' Ferenc Bene
                           24' Ferenc Bene

 4' Geoff Hurst             14' Ferenc Bene 
74' Bobby Charlton          54' Kalman Meszoly

Like the Uruguayans in the Quarter-finals, the Hungarians hit on their 5.5% chance on the Third Die combination (1 or 2 then 6).
