"Fight of Göteborg"

In the German wikipedia we have some discussions about the semifinale called Schlacht von Göteborg. There must have been bad language in German and Swedish newspapers, comparing the game to war and fight. The German Panzers, again. German public said the referee was not fair (as coming from Hungary, remember 1954) and the Swedish team played very hard. Can you please help us to get a more neutral point of view? I have never heard about such kind of struggle between our two countries before. Thank you very much.--84.132.138.185 11 juli 2008 kl. 13.25 (CEST)

With a little help from a Swede

There is a long and detailed article on that match in the German Wikipedia. I could translate it into Swedish if someone helps me, since my Swedish is not perfect och jag vill inte skriva dalig svenska här. The West German team suffered two traumatic defeats in its football history, one was the Göteborg semifinal in 1958, and the other was the Wembley final in 1966, when England won by two irregular goals, one was not in, as many believe, and the other was scored when spectators were on the pitch. All other defeats in important matches were accepted. ontologix
