Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England held Argentina for an hour until Rojas scored in a breakaway raid
seconds after the usually so reliable Greaves had missed a clear chance at the
opposite end of the pitch. The Argentineans, with skipper Antonio Rattin in
commanding form, then played strolling possession football to frustrate
England and to clinch victory in the
'Little World Cup' tournament. Argentina
won the tournament with three wins from three matches, including victory over
Brazil in a vićious game that was war masquerading as sport. England returned
home convinced that Argentina would be the biggest mountain between them and
the 1966 World Cup. They were particularly impressed by Rattin, who
butter-smooth player who bossed the midfield with style and panache. He had a
moment of madness when he disputed a decision by the referee. A hint of things
to come!
