...dazzling exhibition of footloose genius, Eusebio sinks North Korea by personally pile-driving four goals into the net. But in the English team, Eusebio meets rather more than his match. No genius in this lot, but the English are drilled and driven by a demonic will to win. So is West Germany, and in the final game of the tournament the two put on an awesome display of pedal operatics. They leap like gin-crazed kangaroos, block like Green Bay Packers, swing their heads like sledge hammers, flip like tumblers and boot the ball 30 yards upfield while standing...

Tension is set up most intensely in the sadic electricity that crackles between the principals. Pleasence plays the husband as the abject dog beneath the good grey skin of a middle-aged respectable who has made his pile and lost his nerve, as a whipped cur whining, wriggling, licking, leaking, crawling on its belly in pathetic need to please. Dorléac plays the wife as a bitch-kitty who doesn't know she is alive unless she is sinking her claws into some poor hound. Slander, in the funniest and most sinister performance of his long screen career...
