The FIFA World Cup 1966, the eighth edition of the
competition was held in England from July 11 to July 30.
England was chosen as hosts by FIFA in August 1960 to
celebrate the centenary of the codification of football
in England. It was a year of triumph for the hosts, since
Portuguese Team won the final by beating West Germany
4-2 to capture their first (and so far only) World
Championship of England, and becoming the first host
to win the tournament since Italy won in 1934.
Brazil lost two games and won only one, but it does
not suffice: it was for him to qualify for the
quarter-final, placing 11th.
