How Germany Won the 1954 FIFA World Cup...

This is the story of the 1954 FIFA World Cup. It is the story of two teams. The Golden Team Hungary and West Germany were playing their first FIFA World Cup after WW2. Hungary were the clear favourite to win the World Cup whilst little was expected of Germany. The 1954 FIFA World Cup would end up being one of the greatest World Cups ever.

Wow! The Hungarian team was absolutely amazing! The stats of the golden team are incredible. Puskas is deservedly so one of the greats in world football 👍🏼

[@TheSportsFiles-mm1kg]

Yeah, they're quite possibly the best team who didn't win the World Cup.

Germany story was so increadibke the mircle of burn was increadible

[@adamcashin4021]

The format for this world cup is shocking. The groups were pretty unfair due to the seeding, meaning a non-seed that beat a seeded team would likely then have to play them again just to confirm it before progressing, unless they could at the very least earn a draw against the other seed, and extra time was played if there was a draw. The Hosts weren't seeded (the only time the Host wasn't seeded when seeding was used) (even Qatar were seeded). Even weirder the seeding occurred before the qualification had actually completed, with Turkey ending up seeded under the assumption that Spain would beat them. Even more bizarre the four group winners (Hungary, Brazil, England and Uruguay) went into one half of the draw, whilst the runners up had the other half (Yugoslavia, W Germany, Austria and Switzerland). This created an uneven route to the final.

[@TheSportsFiles-mm1kg]

100% agree. An awful format that, thankfully, they never used again.

[@adamcashin4021]

@@TheSportsFiles-mm1kg Would be an interesting what if to look at what could have happened if the format had continued. Not that easy a task, as the 58 world cup was unseeded with a draw based only on Geography; and later draws had only top seeds, half of which went to the hosts and defending champions. But might be possible to guestimate.

Thank you. Very much appreciated.

[@MegaCalin88]

Great video! Good luck with the channel

[@TheSportsFiles-mm1kg]

Thank you. As a new channel, I really appreciate comments like this.

The German commentator for the final match, was amazing! If you have watched newly re-mastered & edited footages of the match by any chance, you'd know what i'm talking about?!

[@TheSportsFiles-mm1kg]

Yes I know what you're talking about. The passion was incredible!

[@kaihiggins725]

Stupid format honestly. We saw the same with the stupid playoffs in 58 when Czechoslovakia won 6-1 against Argentina and had something like +7 goal difference but Northern Ireland went through because they won in the playoffs 😂

[@TheSportsFiles-mm1kg]

Yes, they've honestly had a lot of poor ideas for the format over the years.

Miracle of Bern ✨ The Rise of the mighty Germans 🇩🇪🔥

[@TheSportsFiles-mm1kg]

For me, this is arguably the most important moment in German football history. It gave them confidence and pride again.

They said it was adidas, but we know it was Dopping.

[@Giooseb]

skill issue

[@SamTex69]

1:56 11 Europe 2 Americas and 1 Asia makes up 14, not 16?

[@TheSportsFiles-mm1kg]

The host and reigning champions qualify automatically. So, 14 spots required teams to qualify.

[@roulianleponey45]

Easy answer : by cheating

[@markwillcocks7701]

This was the worst format of any world cup .1950 was a close 2nd

[@TheSportsFiles-mm1kg]

I agree with you. Fifa really did try some strange formats over the years.
