People forget that West Germany reached the 1966 World Cup final only loosing in extra time and in the 1970 World Cup they reached the semi final loosing in extra time. That was before they won the 1972 European Championships and the World Cup in 1974, in the 1976 European Championship final they were loosing 0-2 to Czechoslovakia coming back to 2-2 and loosing at the penalty shoot-out to the famous Paninka chip shot !... So that shows how good they were before and after 1972 and 1974.

Gunter Netzer was one of the profound magicians of football - one of the greatest of the great of all time. Of course, he was a bit flash for Helmut Schoen, but my goodness he was a player.

[@attk177]

One of his greatest moments was when he had a dispute with his coach Hennes Weisweiler at Mönchengladbach going into the German cup final against Köln and his last game for the club. Netzer had already an agreement with Real Madrid for the next season, which was treason in the eyes of Weisweiler. So Netzer was benched for the final and Köln scored an equalizer right before half time. Weisweiler wants to substitute Netzer for the second half but now Netzer refsuses to play. Even the other players try to encourage him to play. So right before extra time a player from Mönchengladbach gets injured and Günter Netzer just substitutes himself without even asking Weisweiler. With his very first touch of the ball he begins an attack, plays a onetwo and hammers the ball into the left corner of the goal, winning it for Gladbach.

[@RojoShaKi]

***** Because they had so many good players in their team. Günter Netzer played just one half-time, before he was kicked out of this team.

[@swanpride]

Disagree...the team of 2014 might be even better, with Neuer (the sweeper keeper), Lahm (one of the best defenders), Klose (top scorer in WC of all time and a true gentlemen in football), Schweinsteiger aso. And those are just some of the names we already recognize as great players, some of them still have a great career in front of them. Plus, the bench was never so deep. The 1972 team would have most likely had problems if they had lost as many players for the same position as the team did in 2014.

Definitely one of the greatest national teams to play football. However, the team clearly threw the game against East Germany to avoid playing Holland, Brazil and Argentina in the other group. Another interesting fact is that Breitner took the penalty in 1974 final because he said "there were no penalty takers on that team". It's interesting because Germany, after losing the next Euro Championship to the Czechoslovakia two years later on penalty kicks, went on to become the deadliest team on PK shootouts where they have not lost a PK shootout since both in WC and Euro championships, and they have been involved in about 7 or 8 shootouts since 1976. Now, if you play Germany in extra time, you better win before PKs, or the game is over.

The 2:1 was in the first half. There was no dutch dominance in the second half, if you study the videos. It was even. With another foul on Hölzenbein, which not got the deserved penalty, and a goal of Müller, not given because upside, wrong again. So it could have been 4:1.

Should i mention the semifinal match in 2014 Germany vs Brasil , where Germany brock all kinds of records in that semifinal game ! Brasil only hangs on to 5 WC wins and that they participated in every WC or have 20 entries to Germanys 19! Thats about it ! Only Brasil ,Uruguay has his 2 WC titles in the past and Argentinia only won it in 1986 against Germany in the finals and since than they havent won a WC anymore ! In 1990 they lost the Finals to Germany 0:1 ( Brehme scored the only goal , true a penalty kick !)and in 2014 in Brasil again against Germany 0:1 ( Götze Overtime goal!)

[@tomcoolman9422]

By the way Italy 4 WC wins & Germany 4 WC wins and what does South America have only Brasil with 5 WC wins !

[@alexisverpakovskis6804]

Tom Coolman You missed 1978. Argentina has won it twice: 1978 and 1986.

They did not show Müllers second goal in the WC final, which was falsely disallowed for offside.

[@gorabose334]

OH ! What a team ! Golden era indeed.

[@lesterpaul9657]

Maybe the best team in 74 was Poland. The dutch made a big mistake. After their quick goal they tried to humiliate the german team and you can' t do that with them, not on their home ground. Netherlands lost because of arrogance and I will give no quarter.

[@giuliogrifi7739]

Maybe, you found out the word I was lookin' for...."arrogance" !

[@Charles-uu7gp]

I remember this match like it was yesterday, basically it was clash of the titans

[@chuman6263]

The reason that this team is the best out of any era, is that some of the players are small but their contribution is great. such as berti vogts and gerd muller. I am not belittle players like lothar matheaus or mehmet scholl of the later years but German 70s players played with much heavier ball, boot and other not so favourable football gadget like today.

[@klauszungler4644]

If both Germanys’ played as one team they would have at leased 7 World Cups today

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

Ich wäre schon zufrieden, wenn wir 1966 nicht diesen sowjetischen Linienrichter gehabt hätten. Mir wäre viel lieber, wenn Höneß 1976 den Elfmeter in Belgrad nicht übers Tor geballert hätte...

[@leeturton9254]

Beckenbauer was absolute class... he's the German version of Bobby Moore... even as a manger franz had absolute class and if anyone was going to beat England in 1990 I'm glad it was his superb team managed by the great Kaiser

[@houcinimahmoud9298]

Gunter Netzer was the best play maker of Germany team .

[@Ruda-n4h]

Best since the 1950's.

[@omardabo1287]

Beckenbauer , Gerd Muller ❤️❤️. This German side might just be the greatest national team ever assembled in the history of football. Literally can play in any Era and win it all

[@supermandingo]

One word; Overath

[@rszanger]

West Germany has had its golden generation team in 70's with players like Gerd Mueller, Guenter Netzer, Paul Breitner, Rainer Bonhof, Uli Hoeness, grawbowski, Sepp Maier, and Franz Beckenbauer...

[@skeelo69]

Bonhoff and Revilino, hot shots

[@santabeatrizgomez2380]

Siempre buenas relaciones cn Alemania,ellos votaron para qe el mundial se realizara en Argentina,y asi fue qe llegaron a nuestro pais como campeones y hasta algunos recordaran una cancion qe grabaron los mismos jugadores como cortesia dedicada hacia nuestra gente,(buenos dias Argentina!) Siempre reconocidos y nunca se dan x vencidos,admirable actitud germana,no se si sean el gran eqipo de todos los tiempos,x qe existen otros..pero gracias x tanto! Salud Alemania! 🎆

[@CrownRoyal1985]

In my opinion The best national Teams ever:1- Germany 1974.2- Hungary 1954. 3-Holland 1974. 4-Italy 1934. 5-Uruguay 1950. 6-Argentina 1986.

West Germany was better than Dutch in the 1974 final World Cup.

[@BalboaBaggins]

No, there's a lot more on that particular match. Berti Vogts was trained to constantly be around Cruijff and neutralize him. Germany were lucky the Dutch didn't put in effort until it was too late. There's a documentary about it on my channel.

[@hubert12125]

They havent mention it but Semi final with Poland was one of the biggest scandals .Everything was done to help them to reach finals

[@scottwaldman1021]

Germany best international team ever! 4 times WC winner, 3 times EC winner. A lot of second and third places in WC(EC)-history. More than every other international team.

The West German players in 1974 are irreplaceable. Real GIANTS, LEGENDS if football

[@Октава-ю3х]

Эта команда образец немецкого футбола на все времена. Представить: в 1974 году перед финалом мир разделился вдвое. Одни твердили, что победит Германия, другие - Голландия. Центральная газета Германии посвятила по одной странице каждой команде. Два цетрфорварда говорили: Моя команда победит и Моя команда победит. Мюллер и Кройф и ныне не нуждаются в оценке. Победила команда Шена, Беккенбауэра, Мюллера и других и кого? Легендарную команду Михелса и Круиффа - Кройфа!

[@rolfisdreamworld489]

toll wie der Netzer 1972 für Müller auflegt, schade, dass er 1970 verletzt war. super Zeit, tolles Team

[@ezraezra2928]

Fun Fact: The European Championship in 2024 will be staged in Germany, exactly 50 years after Franz Beckenbauer lifted the World Cup at home soil. However, it also coincides with 70 years of the first major trophy (1954 World Cup known as Miracle of Bern) and 10 years after Joachim Low's famous World Cup win in Brazil (including 7-1 win against Brazil). Germany might win the European Championship for the fourth time if you remember those milestones.
