But the teams of this 1966 tournament failed to produce the
excitement and skills of what some of the past great teams
like the Hungarians in 1954 and Brazil of 1958 and 1962.

entrants. Sadly, the game had become more defensive, and
individual skills had to make way for those of the
tacticians.
The months leading up to the tournament contained lots of
drama.
