July 1966: The dreams of an Iranian political correspondent are
shattered to pieces when he is informed that instead of flying to
Saigon, he will have to travel to London to report on the World
Cup. To him, this is an insignificant matter at a time when the
world is silently burning in the flames of wars and in the coldness
of the Cold War. However, to his surprise, he finds football to be
a new global language. World Cup 1966, in particular, appears to be
reuniting people all over the globe. In the middle of the world's
unrest, World Cup 1966 is a moment of fresh air. From the early
elimination of the two time champions, Brazil and Italy, to the
phenomenal appearance of North Korea; from the brave Portuguese men
who gave their all to stay longer in the competition to the proud
Germans who made every effort to repair the broken image of their
nation; from the tears of Black Pearl to the nine goals of Black
Panther; and from England's disappointing draw in the opening match
to their glorious victory in the Final; the story brings back all
the ups and downs of World Cup 1966, set against a stark backdrop
of world events that defined that tumultuous time period.
