The World Cup wasn't in 1968 or 9 but on the side of the bus it says "England for the cup". Are they there for the 1968 UEFA championship. Or is this supposed to be set in Another year

Although the 1968 UEFA European Football Championship finals were held in Italy, Turin was not a venue. Seems a combination of dramatic licence and psyching out the opponents.

I would imagine it means the upcoming 1970 World Cup

They won it in '66 and so are confident of doing it again in '70

This movie wasn't a damn documentary. It was almost science fiction.
