[@AlfonsHutter]

One of the great but largely forgotten matches in World Cup history. Back and forth match. Great goals, great displays of fighting spirits and great goalkeeping on both sides. Ronnie Hellström was such a beast in this match.

I remember watching this game, weather was terrible, fantastic memories.

[@danpals7678]

Just watched this again for the first time in along time. Am American but was born and raised in Munchen . I was almost 14 when I watched this live(tv) and am amazed how much they play like the current version. I played hockey in the Olympic ice ring and met some of the players there when they brought their kids to go skating. And yes, I know it was the summer Olympics but they built an ice rink on the Olympic grounds, for public use. Vielen dank fuer das video. Thanks for video.

[@theguyinthemiddle2919]

It was great to see Heinz Flohe. I remember him very well from his time in FC Köln. I did not know that he was part of the 1974 team. A great player & a great Captain.

[@frankrothe828]

Very sure, the best game of 1974 world cup………Rest in Peace, Ronnie Hellström

[@六O]

I agree

[@srtyxczewlsrolkid]

One of the best match in the history of World cup and football at all

[@bupe007]

Yes indeed

[@Nigelpreece]

By far the best game of the 1974 tournament, and for once this was Bonhoff's night and not der bomber.

[@Ruda-n4h]

Rainer Bonhof - really good at his best; running at opponents, beating men, laying off 1-2’s and setting up through balls.

[@Nigelpreece]

@@Ruda-n4h Thanks for your reply. as a follower of the fortunes of Liverpool, I remember him having a great game for Monchengladbach in the semi final of the European Cup in '78. He really was a live wire, but also very creative. We all know the role he played in setting up Gerd for the winner in '74. Football is the poorer for the loss of the great Gerd Muller. A man who re-defined the term, "reliability". It is of course 50 years now since your win in Euro '72 when he played such a big part, along with your good self. A extraordinary player, much appreciated and missed here in the United Kingdom. Wishing all of you in Germany a great World Cup. Let football be what we talk about.

The english commentator on this coverage was the well known Gerald Sinstadt, who sadly passed away on the 10 November, aged 91.

[@tancreddehauteville764]

R.I.P. Gerry.

[@michaelwolter6076]

Heinz Flohe. The best player germany ever had. R.I.P.

[@geraldfindon827]

Wolfgang Overath was one of the greatest playmakers of all time, tells you a lot he was voted the best midfielder at the 1970 world cup when you had probably the greatest football team of all time playing, Brazil , but as usual because he was German his skills were always underrated by the world's press .

[@elshadjafar2437]

GOOD DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO. LIKE FROM COUNTRY AZERBAIJAN

[@theguyinthemiddle2919]

The formidable West Germany. Their style of play in this match never changed. Regardless of the score (being behind or ahead) they just attacked. A beautiful match.

[@robertmac9057]

I remember watching this thriller in the rain, particularly Edstrom's brilliant volley.

[@joaochristophbecker]

The best German national team ever. It’s such a pleasure seeing this old games, the classic way they played.

[@paulclement4860]

England was very jealous of Germany's success in major tournaments because they felt they could not compete with Die Mannschaft

[@rolfisdreamworld489]

two very fair teams, great match

[@ricardolima7725]

Por fin voy a poder ver lo más importante de este partido!!! Recuerdo que de niño no pude verlo!!! Gracias!!!

[@felroberto]

Porque? no tenias tv en casa? Pues yo no tenía y lo escuché por la Radio Colombiana

[@luperamos7307]

Por qué no pudiste verlo?

[@محمود-ص5ت5ق]

Most world cup classic matches are not available because of the restrictions of FIFA . I have already download ed all the available matches on this wonderful channel .Why do not you set up a new channel on KZbin to be able to download the summaries of these fantastic matches ? Make it paid . I am ready to pay

[@luperamos7307]

The Germans had tough tough games. The games against Sweden and Poland were in heavy rain on a very muddy ground. Sweden was tough on defense with a great keeper. The Dutch had already failed to beat them. Poland beat Italy and was probably among the top three teams in the tournament. Yugoslavia won the group against Brazil.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

now that you mentioned that game against Poland, a shameful manouver

[@ZardozCologne]

I saw that in the TV as a child .... there was some dispute with fans and the team before as the performence in the 1st group stage was miserable. Then they played in Düsseldorf and the Düsseldorf fans backed the team unconditionally.. Germany attacked, played well .... and suddenly 0:1 for Sweden ... and I will never forget my thoughts:"The fans may not booh, they must support them!" Some seconds, the whole stadium was quiet and then all the fans yelled: "Deutschland, Deutschland", get still goosebumps thinking of that. After the match the Munich Franz Beckenbauer stated that the Düsseldorf fans (and not tMunich) shpuld have been honored wioh the final.

[@محمود-ص5ت5ق]

Why is it not possible to watch most classic world cup matches? Most videos are banned

[@fernandofajardogarcia1312]

Muchas gracias por esta joya... obrigado.

[@Ruda-n4h]

Rainer Bonhof, really good at his best came off the Moenchengladbach production line of the time.

[@jwlemmens8235]

Dutchman

[@pablok2854]

Edstrom jugaba muy bien! Un 9 que pivoteaba para dar hances a sus compañeros dde anotar. Parece el Zlatan de su época. Por otro lado un tremendo partido de Beckenbauer y de todo el ataque alemàn, en especial de Hoeness y Holzenbein. Partidazo!

[@looknotes]

notice augustssons red and yellow patrick shoes. outrageously cool...

[@vinnysamways63]

Great highlights! Do you have(or do you know where I can find) other extended World Cup highlights like this? The FIFA and UEFA channels are crap and show barely 2 minutes per game.

26:42 : What the....? Is that some supernatural support lending a hand for W Germany?

[@六O]

I am surprised to see Herzog playing. Boy i like his films but i did not know he can play football 😕

[@13muller9]

I read in Gerd Muller diaries that he was initially surprised when he found out that Helmot Schon had named Herzog in his 22 men squad for the World Cup, but then he realized why Helmot Schon had decided to call Herzog: Herzog was from Stutgart (If my memory is right), and if W. Germany finished 2-nd in their first round group match, they had to play their next game in Stutgart, and Schon needed local people's support for the national team, thus he had decided to include a player from that city. That is what indeed happened and W.Germany after finishing 2-nd in their group, played their next game against Yugoslavia in Stutgart with Herzog in their line up for the 1-st time!!

[@felroberto]

Not the same Werner Herzog
