German newspaper claims: If you stay in the EU, we will acknowledge 1966 Wembley goal
GERMAN newspaper Bild has incredibly claimed: We will finally acknowledge that Wembley goal from 1966.
Travel back in time 50 years to arguably England‘s greatest ever sporting achievement.
Geoff Hurst scores arguably the most contentious goal of all time as England go on to lift the 1966 World Cup, with Germany saying they may finally forgive and forget
Bobby Moore led the Three Lions to the 1966 World Cup title, as Geoff Hurst‘s sublime hat-trick won it 4-2 after extra time.
However, there was one moment of, shall we say, controversy?
Hurst’s second strike of his trio in the match gave England a 3-2 lead in extra-time after the game ended 2-2 after 90 minutes.
Despite the West Ham man grabbing his third later to give the Three Lions a 4-2 win, German fans have NEVER forgiven the match officials – or England – for costing them a piece of silverware.

Until now that is… But there’s a catch.
Bild have claimed they will finally forgive England and concede that infamous winning goal counted, if the UK remain a part of the EU.
In an incredible front page, including a host of outrageous, hilarous stereotypes, Bild poked fun, saying: “Dear Britain…

“We won’t wear sun cram on the beach in solidarity of your sunburn.
“We will go without our goalkeeper at the next penalty shootout to make it more exciting.
