Come on admit it, it never crossed the line
Geoff Hurst's goal in extra time
In the Third World War at Wembley '66
When England won again, to make it a hat-trick
Twenty years later, a replay of another war
The Falklands, Spirit against the skill of Maradona
The Union Jack's drooped, the English were quiet
The Argies won, Maradona had a hand in it
The line between patriotic bigotry and loyal support
Is it going to war or the simple love of sport?

"Sportchestra! – 101 Songs About Sport".
lyrics by Duncan 'Dunst' Bruce
Il disco contiene 101 canzoni sullo sport. Ma lo sport è solo il pretesto per parlare di altro.
In questa canzone si confrontano 2 partite:
la finale dei mondiali del '66 tra Germania Ovest e Inghilterra, una sorta di 3a guerra mondiale, in cui Goeff Hurst fece una tripletta (l'unica della storia) ma con un gol fantasma;
Il quarto di finale dei mondiali di Messico '86 in cui l'Argentina sconfisse l'Inghilterra con 2 goal di Maradona: il goal più bello del mondo e la mano de Dios, "vendicando" la guerra delle Falkland/Malvine
