@RaminS I don't speak Cyrillic - медвежонок с виноградным мармеладом. repeat in Transliteration but anyways what does the inscription say? Still to this day nobody knows truly if it crossed the line or not, lol Azeri Irooni Sovietsky ya that makes me confident he called it fairly. I was born in 82, 16 years after thsi game but I watched the clip over, and over again. I can't definitively tell if it crossed the line it went straight down and didn't cross.

@Finally ja i just learned abouthis fellow 1- i am Azeri-Irooni on that side not baku Azeri 2 Um maybe on the 🇷🇺 side 😆 um this guy to my knowledge,
is not related to me. Also, well after sleeping on it withojt Spinnazola spelling out, i say 2-1 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@oghabealborz that is some interesting history and @takbetak lil Geoff Hurst was greatful that is why he was there and German Azerbaijan football relations,
didn’t know any existed. Finally to my knowledge, he is not one of mine 😂

In an amazing twist of fate I've gotten my hands on a pair of tickets for the Final. I'm flying in tonight. See you all at Wembley! It will be my 16th appearance at Wembley, my 15th as a spectator.

Talk about getting caught by atmosphere 😳 !

LOOOL. But that is not the reason they made a statue of him.

He was a footballer playing for Neftci Baku till his injury ended his career. He then became a referee and then became General Secretary of Azerbaijan Football Federation after retiring from referee job.

After his death the Azerbaijan national stadium was re-named in his memory and later on a statue of him was erected there for his services to Azerbaijan football.

And get this : Geoff Hurst who scored that controversial goal was present at his statue ceremony in Baku. LOOOOL.

Well the way the statue is posing is exactly what he did after the ref consulted him about Hurst shot.

According to my sources ,Tofig Bahramof was very popular amongst Azaris for his significant impact on the development of Azarbaijan football at all levels while he was General Secretary of Azarbaijan Football Federation. He also coached Neftci Baku for a while before working for Azarbaijan Football Federation.

His statue ceremony was attended by many famous football figures including Geoff Hurst , Sepp Blatter , Michel Platini and guess who ? Tilkowski who was Germany's goalkeeper in World Cup 1966 Final. LOOOL.

Thanks for your efforts 🙂.
God bless his soul.
Tilkofswski is the first German keeper I know since 66 .
Although it was few years after that I saw clips of 66 world cup. I think the great Mayer was in the squad in 66 . I didn't find Tikofswski very convincing. Mayer was a great keeper though and start of a long stretch of great keepers one after the other .

Sepp Maier was great. I remember that he came to Iran with German National team for a friendly many years ago. He was Germany's goalkeepeing coach at the time.

Chip & Fish Robbers vs Pasta il Consiglieri di Frode.
Plague or Cholera, what do you choose?

Well, I say Pasta il Consiglieri di Frode 3 - 2 Chip & Fish Robbers

It, of course could have been a memorable event especially one of importance, however, with the benefit of hindsight this shit goes down to the history as a fight of botchers, even worse than a divine comedy. Also notable to see the mob-rule standing by and cheering over the dirt!

Dante's Inferno, The Eighth Circuit - "Counselors of Fraud", thats what it is!

Italy vs England

Both sides have brought joy and excitement to their respective nations and many neutrals specially in these horrible pandemic times.well done to them. too bad there will be only one official winner tonight , but both sides are winners in my eyes as well as several other sides who played good footy in this tourney and entertained football fans all over the world.

Hoping for a thrilling final match and may the better side win the trophy tonight.
