England finally lifted the World Cup in 1966

England were finally given the chance to host the finals of a game that they created back in 1966 and they made sure that equalized on the opportunity. One of the most famous World Cup finals in history because of the story about The World Cup being stolen and Pickles the dog going on to find it, England managed to lift the trophy in their own backyard when they defeated West Germany 4-2.

The match took place at the old Wembley Stadium in London, England where it's best remembered for Geoff Hurst's hat-trick which became the first and currently the only one to be scored in a World Cup final, as well as the fact that referee Gottfried Dienst awarded England a controversial third goal when it was later argued that the goal never crossed the line, something that would never happen in the current VAR era.

The game was a tied at 2-2 after 90 minutes so extra time was commissioned and Geoff Hurst then dispatched two more goals to ensure that the West German team couldn't argue that this win belonged to England.
