"Two World Wars and one World Cup, doo dah, doo dah..."

My dad told me about this and all I could think was “you owned a TV at that time?” He watched the game through the radio. When I say watch, I mean he sat there in the living room with mom and no air conditioner while listening to an old radio.

Found it with a quick search

Watching soccer is punishment enough, I can't imagine how boring it is to listen to it on the radio.

It’s by far the world’s most popular sport for a reason!

Wasn't that game, along with the 1974 WC final, supposed to have been fixed?

This isn't quite true. He said specifically that he hit the ball as hard as possibly (still aiming for the goal) because he wanted to be sure that, if he missed, the ball would have gone well into the stands to wind the clock down more. It wasn't exactly a mishit.

Popularity =/= quality

In fact, it is notorious that people are naturally attracted to boring stuff. /s
