 The reason for the unusually late scheduling of the tournament appears to lie with the outside broadcast commitments of the BBC, which also had commitments to cover Wimbledon (which ran between 20 June and 2 July) and the Open Golf Championship (6 to 9 July).1966 was a World Cup with few goals as the teams began to play much more tactically and defensively.This was exemplified by Alf Ramsey's England as they finished top of Group 1 with only four goals, but having none scored against them.
