England players stretch during a training session at St George\'s Park, Burton upon Trent, England, Monday June 28, 2021, ahead of their Euro 2020 soccer match round of 16 against Germany at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday.

The Wembley goal of 1966 was mystical and historic. The memory of that goal always comes back whenever England and Germany meet. Whether that goal was legal or not remains uncertain, and a mystery. As for Germany, that goal is the grief that always challenges their spirit every time they play against England, including in the last 16 of the Euro 2020.

The score during that historic game was tied 2-2 after 90 minutes, and the match was extended. Geoff Hurst\'s right foot shot in the 101st minute was driven away by the quick reflexes of West Germany goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski. But Swiss referee Gottfried Dienst confirmed it as a goal after consulting with linesman Gospodin Bachramow of Russia.
