The 1958 FIFA World Cup was the only time all four nations of the United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - qualified for the finals together. There were 16 teams in the tournament, split into four groups of four, and they were divided in such a way that each group had one of the British teams in it. Early in the film a large display depicting the groups can be seen. It's notable that, unlike the convention that would apply in later years, the U.K. teams are not represented by their individual national flags, but are all represented by the Union Jack.
The English language version of this film has a few extra end credits attached, giving the English language narrator, scriptwriter, dubbing editor etc. These are many of the same people (including the Narrator, Steve Hudson) who made Argentina Campeones: 1978 FIFA World Cup Official Film (1978). This implies that the version with English narration was not created shortly after the German language original in 1958, but about twenty years later. Indeed the end credits are in yellow, superimposed on what is otherwise a completely black and white film.
