Your World Cup,
your predictions.

Brazil's fourth goal against Italy looked rehearsed by artists. Nine passes, every player calm, every movement deliberate. Then Pelé paused, waited, and rolled the ball perfectly into the path of Carlos Alberto charging from right-back. First time, bottom corner. The goal became shorthand for everything people wanted football to look like — rhythm, imagination, freedom. Brazil won 4-1 and sealed the most romanticised team in World Cup history.

Extra time at Wembley, scores level at 2-2, and Geoff Hurst hit the shot that still divides football generations. Bar, line, down — goal given. West Germany protested immediately, England celebrated immediately louder. Hurst completed a hat-trick minutes later as Kenneth Wolstenholme delivered the call that became stitched into English sporting history: "They think it's all over… it is now." The debate over whether the ball crossed the line never really ended.
