So they're a good side, really good side.
And Ramsey does not pick the 4-2-4.
He's given up on 4-2-4.
Weirdly late, given he hadn't played 4-2-4 with Ipswich for a long time, picks a 4-3-3 or what's described as a 4-3-3.
But this team's got Joe Baker and Roger Hunt through the middle.
It's got Alan Ball shuttling back on the right side.
So Nobby Stiles says, actually, it's more of a 4-1-3-2.
So this side, you've got Joe Baker and Roger Hunt as the two forwards.
You've got Bobby Charlton moves to the left in this game.
You've got George Easton playing through the middle in front of Nobby Siles and Alan Ball shuttling on the right.
So Nobby Siles is actually more of a 4-1-3-2.
And I'm not sure really how many journalists work out what Ramsey's doing.
It's still described as a 4-3-3.
People see Alan Ball as being a winger.
But this is the first game where this term wingless wonders that will be attached to that England side.
It's the first game where that is used.
It's Peter Lorenzo, journalist for The Sun, very fine tabloid journalist, the father of Matt Lorenzo, the TV presenter.
But I still, even though he's come up with that term, I'm not sure how many people really work out what Ramsey's plan is.
But, I mean, Ramsey didn't care about racking up big scores.
He cared about control.
