Russian referee Latisev waved the play on. Czechs moved on, Hungary went
home.

Hungary vs Sweden: Lajos Tichy's shot hit the underside of the crossbar and
bounced a good 20-30 cms behind the goalline, then spun out. Russian referee
Latisev waved the play on. Sweden scored from the counter (incidentally,
Hamrin pushed the defender with two hands just prior to the goal, ref didn't
see that either) and moved on. Hungary lost to Wales in a replay and went
home.
Quote:
Hungary vs West Germany WC Final: With 3 minutes to go in the match, Puskas
scored. English referee Ling first signaled the goal, then reversed his
decision and ruled the play offside. (Film footage showed it was not.) West
Germany won WC54, Hungary finished 2nd.
NOTE: The above is not a misprint. Both in 1958 and 1958 Tichy scored, which
would have been, decisive goals, and the SAME referee disallowed both.
