Match Report

A dull and
uninspiring start to the World Cup left neutrals wondering on what Alf
Ramsey based his confidence that England would win the tournament. Uruguay
played with nine men back in defence and defied all England's attempts to
break them down. It was the first time in twelve matches that England had
failed to score. John Connelly was Ramsey's one winger. The Uruguayans
celebrated at the final whistle as if they had won. They had squeezed
exactly what they wanted from the game with their stifling defensive
tactics. It was not a pretty sight.
