Ramsey's 1966 England. Banks in goal, Moore as captain, Charlton from midfield, and Hurst writing the final in extra time.

Tags on the page — wingless wonders, set pieces, defensive steel — are shorthand for how the model leans, not a documentary.

On the pitch

The goalkeeper rating (92) is doing more work than the outfield glamour. Possession sits at 54, not a religion. They will ask a question at set pieces (aerial 84).
