RIP Gerd Muller...the greatest striker who ever played football.
Don`t forget Ferenc Puskas!
Gerd could 'play'.
@@ODYSSEUSMORTEL What made Puskas unique was that he was a truly great midfield general who could score goals, and then in his 30’s a truly great centre forward able to score goals as the spearhead, and has there been another player who could be so outstanding in both roles?
My sentiments exactly!
yeah..he scored a lot of goals
I'm a football fan since 1974, when I was 7 years old. I am glad to have experienced my heroes Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, Sepp Maier, Günter Netzerall in their active times.
When you look back now, in 2024, Germany have played and won a lot of tournaments with lots of exceptional players. But this generation of 1972 remains very special not only for my generation.
Was at this match as a boy of 12 with my father afterward I knew i had witnessed something special.. Still gives me the chills. So many world class players. Netzer was joy to see it was a special evening an atmosphere I've never forgotten and being with Dad was special
@Gary Fletcher l remember it too.
We all became Netzer at school.
@Gary Fletcher Sure..we all loved Bob Paisley and Shanks.
I am reading a history of German football..”Tor”,
Pretty good if interested, found it in Oxfam.
Some players (Beckenbauer,Mattheus) and teams(Bayern) are not popular,surprisingly!!
@@paulkenneally789 In the 70s and earlt 80s at school football they all called me Gunta ... and I had his long hair!
@@paulkenneally789 I think Beckenbauer was jealous of Netzer. Netzer did not play much for Germany after this game. Beckenbauer preferred Overath because he was not as threatening as Netzer.
@@jeffreylara3835 Both we’re pretty successful post playing career.
The clash of legends .. what a picture quality 👍
@@paulebademeister I would've been 1yo when this match was played. usually what we see today is a much poorer quality of what it was back then due to extensive copying and recopying to a playable version today. The first colored live match I watched was a 1978 world cup match in my little yellow Grundig color TV and the quality was amazing,
@UClsn87QR1GFbYAW8nRqfrgQ He was praising the picture you dickhead.
Did Bertie Vogts not play in this game? He never seemed to miss a game in the 70s
First of all I'd like to thank the person who put this on youtube for people to view because this match took place 7 years before I was born.
Its watching games like this that I wish doc browns time machine existed in the real world if it did I would have gone back intime to see it live.
West Germany were brilliant in this game they came to wembley and simply outclassed England from start to finish and went on to become kings of Europe and then 2 years later become world champions what a great team that was The 1970's for me was the time when West Germany became a footballing superpower and have been ever since.
Franz Beckenbauer is simply the greatest living football legend in the world!
🖤❤💛🖤❤💛🖤❤🧡
Remember seeing it as an 8 year old. It had the most affect on me of any match I ever saw. You see my You Tube name!
Netzer's performance was like nothing I have ever seen. Then and even now. Out of this world!
Was his best year in german team.
Indeed. On this theme, Gunter is one of only three players I can think of who bear comparison with the stars of the fifties, the others of course are Franz Beckenbauer and Johan Cruyff. Germans seemed to be able to produce great players at will at that time.
He fully deserved no 10 shirt. Technically speaking was the best German player in 1972, including the EURO 72
He is so underrated
@@yasminnasser9273 He always played using skill, intelligence and anticipation and never relying on physical qualities and kicking - just like Beckenbauer. In this respect they played like players out of their time in the physical 60's and 70's. More akin to the 1950's.
In Germany this game is considered one of the best ever. It was the base for the Euro 72 and WC 74 win.
Have a nice day. Watched and pleased. Thank you so much for the video. O course like from your subscriber. Country Azerbaijan
Beckenbauer and Netzer were immense in this game. I remember watching it on TV and seeing Germany playing this passing football was a real eye opener.
Both came out from the back when it was 'on', with real class and showed that the art of interception sets the quality defenders and midfield players a big step apart from players who might be quicker, but rarely look and think.
The fun fact is that Netzer and Beckenbauer were extremely pessimistic heading into the game. Netzer said something to Beckenbauer like: if we concede less than five goals we'd have played a great game". I mean it's kinda weird in hindsight seeing what all those players accomplished after that and how dominant they won the Euros that year.
What a wonderfull team that was and England was one of the best ever! Exceptional football moments from Hoeness - Netzer - Bechenbauer and that "killer" Gerd Muller.....as about Zepp Meyer? WHAT A MARVELOUS GOALKEEPER he was!!!!!! Banks dive in the penalty???? A.w.e.s.o.m.e. Those two keepers was the BEST in history football for me! - Football in it's best- thank you for this great video.
Gerd Muller was deadly.
Watched this as a tribute, having heard of the passing of "Der Bomber der Nation". RIP Gerd Müller, a nemesis not only of England but doubtless many other nations and the most iconic wearer of 13 in World Cups.
I didn't know 'the Bomber' had died - hard to believe.
That Germany side was one of the best in football history. I've no idea why you're all complaining about England, it's not like they'd lost to Iceland or something like that...
C'est cette équipe qui est toujours citée en référence, pas celle de
1974.
Je pense que la différence entre les 2 équipes, c'est Netzer, un très grand milieux
You're so right. Sir Alf Ramsey got so f... unlucky! The game in Mexico, almost won, this one... they played well, but against the best German team ever, than Poland... It was obvious, he had to go. Only 8 months later our team proved what they were capable of. Poor Alfie... ;)
Yes, it was probably their best ever (along with 2014 world cup maybe and they were strong in 1990). They were superb in the 72 Euro final, but a bit lucky in 74 world cup, with home advantage
England's draw at home v Wales also cost them dear in 74 world cup qualification. Moore, Hunter and Shilton all made costly mistakes. We can only wonder what England would have done with Clough as manager
niksur on behalf of all the intelligent England fans.. we know how bad we are lol
What a game, I'm shocked, England we're fantastic. I've never seen them play like that. Also, great to not hear the whistle every two seconds. Don't care for football anymore, but that's proper football by two great teams.
The late great Gerd muller after Emlyn Hughes lost the ball watch his movement for the goal absolutely sensational.
50 years ago today. My father travelled to England in WCup 66, saw several matches live, including the final in Wembley. On this day the souvenirs and photos he brought back came to life. We watched this match, closed circuit broadcast, at the L.A. Sports Arena, and I was a transfixed 10 year-old. Many of these players were in that ‘66 final, as well as the 3-2 West German victory in Leon, Mexico 1970. Two favorite players of mine, Gerd Müller and Jurgen Grabowski, passed away this year. Tonight England is playing a unified Germany in Munchen. So much history between these two powerhouse footballing nations that it’s mind boggling.
2? Only one.
Thank you so much for uploading this awesome game. It's a pleasure to watch such legends on the field.
Nearly 50 yrs later, we STILL talk about Netzer's performance.
@Felix Carpio Both were excellent players, I preferred netzer
Netzer was outstanding in this match but the West German coach , Helmut Schoen , didn't really like playing both him and Beckenbauer in the same line-up , and would use Wolfgang Overath ( himself a very good player , and whom he preferred anyway ) in the 1974 World Cup finals . Netzer , who had joined Real Madrid by that time , would only play for 20 mins in West Germany's only defeat of that tournament against East Germany . A great player who is often overlooked in the mists of time .
Goals:
20:40
1:12:15
1:18:54
1:23:40
At least 3 of them from grave defensive errors.
Thanks.
So p
There's never been a BETTER national side since that Beckenbauer/Netzer/Muller vintage. Gunter and Franz were 2 truly great master craftsman aided by the young Paul Brietner, Uli Hoeness, underrated workhorse 'Hacki' Wimmer and the greatest goalscorer of all time.
This was the European Nations Cup quarter final first leg clash between England and West Germany at Wembley on 29 April 1972.
The West Germans with a new looked team won 3-1 with goals from Uli Hoeness,Gunther Netzer(penalty)and Gerd Muller.What is surprising is that three of those goals came in the last five minutes.
And it was in this match that England for the last time fielded almost half of the 1966 World Cup winning team.Bobby Moore,Alan Ball,Martin Peters,Geoff Hurst and Gordon Banks were survivors left from the 1966 World Cup winning team.But what was most surprising that England's supremo Sir Alf Ramsey left out Alan Mullery who had played scored one of the goals in England's 3-2 defeat to the same opponents the last time both teams met in the World Cup quarterfinal clash at Leon in Mexico two years ago.
Mullery was so bitterly disappointed at being omitted that he announced his retirement from international.
And in that 3-1 defeat to the Germans,Geoff Hurst and Francis Lee had played their last game for England.
Sir Alf,as usual and typical of himself had continued to rely on his old guard,five from the '66 winning team and several from the last World Cup.Only Emlyn Hughes,Paul Madeley and Martin Chivers did not play in Mexico 1970.
And the same team remained virtually unchanged from the one that beat Scotland 3-1 in the 1971 Home Championship and those Nations Cup victories over Greece and Malta.
Yes Sir Alf was still sticking to his old methods whereas Helmut Shoen wisely opted for new blood such as Uli Hoeness,Paul Breitner,George Shwarzenbeck.Bonhof and Holzenbein.
It was the clash between the new and the old.And in the end the former won and went on to clinch the Nations Cup in Brussels Belgium.
Mullery had been dropped by Spurs and was on loan at second division Fulham when this game was played so he was hardly likely to be selected by England. And as for your comment about 8 of the side playing in the70 world cup well as it was less than two years before this game its hardly surprising
So many great players. But there was one young man: Paul Breitner (No3) , only 20yrs old. He won all of his duels without any fouls. GREAT!
Paul later became a world class inside forward at Real Madrid. One of the best post war internationals and always his own man.
1:24:32 He'd just scored a goal, but was still happy to tackle for the team - what a superb player Der Bomber was
According to "Tor - History of German Football" this victory is considered the 2nd best accomplishment in German football (to the "1954 Miracle of Bern" World Cup win against Hungary). Helmut Schoen had a lot of injuries and was forced to reshuffle his squad as well as his tactics. Thank you for the incredible quality of the post.
Was the first victory at Wembley that counts a lot.
But there was a much better accomplishment as this one.
The 1/4 final against Argentina in 2010 WC.
4:0 and Maradona was the coach for Argentina.
WC14 7-1 annihilation of Brazil.. in Brazil.. got to be up there
If you talk about all german Championship-teams until today, these bunch from 1972 is one of the Greatest ever. Gerd Müller, Franz Beckenbauer and last but not least, Günther Netzer.
I would say THE best.
I would say the 1972 German team is top3 of all-time. Another top10 of all-time team must be the 2014 German team.
Der unaufgeregte Fachkommentar von Werner Schneider war Fußball, Eiskunstlauf und Eishockey. Diese wohltuende Stimme!👍 Reporter-Legende des ZDF.
Kann es sein, dass es ein anderer Sprecher war? Dieser hier klingt so schulmeisterlich. ("Die Pfiffe müssen nun wirklich nicht sein...");-))
War das Rudi Michel, der auch das Finale 1966 kommentiert hat?
That’s still painful to watch after all these years! I’ll never forget the disappointment after walking 3 miles to my uncles house to see it in colour!......It was a long walk home.
We shd of won that tournament, yet u must know the story of the 68 finals-! Germany ruined it for England diligently injuring are great stiles in a freindly prior to the semis in italy
@@danielhall3766 Did'nt they beat us 1 - 0 ?
@@merseydave1 Their first-ever win over England. First of many!
@@mikecole1633 Wrong they beat England 1-0 in 1968
@@merseydave1 That's the one I meant, in reply to your previous post. 1972 at Wembley I think was their third, as the Mexico QF had happened in the meantime.
Paul Breitner is a fascinating player. He scored against Italy in the 1982 World Cup final 10 years later. Maradona's first championship. Time plays tricks on us.
One of the best in the post war period.
The Whole German Team was exceptional, when I watched this game even as a young boy I knew Germany would go on to Trophy Greatness.
I happened to be in Germany from London visiting my Grandparents as an 11 year old and watched it on TV when they won that World Cup. You cannot imagine the silence everywhere during the game. Not a car on the streets. Like the whole country was holding its breath. You also cannot imagine how the whole country erupted when they won!
Wimmer/Netzer and Rainer Bonhof as a sub. Not a bad midfield! Moenchengladbach and Weisweiler had a production line for 10 years.
RIP Der Kaiser, Franz Beckenbauer, thoughts are with his loved ones
this German team with Netzer Beckenbauer Muller Wimmer and Breitner is the best national team in all football history .
Brazil had better teams, even as recent as the 2002 winning squad...
Uruguay 1950, Hungary 1954, Brazil 1958/1970, West Germany 1972, Holland 1974 and I might add Spain 2008-2012.
The most thrilling football was played by Germany in 2014. They had their flaws but that high voltage attacking football was so fun to watch.
As a 7 year old then, this was my very first England game I could really remember (I had flasbacks of 1970 as 5 year old) ... So All my Years of Hurt started then!!!
Es ist ein epochsles Spiel gewesen.
Es ist nicht wichtig wer gewonnen hat, sondern nur
- was zwei Teams gemeinsam (!) imstande sind zu Leisten -
und der Welt zu zeigen was Sport tatsächlich ist und auch ausmacht.
Die moderne Kommerzialisierung des Fußballspiel will genau das das vernichten.
Wir alle dürfen das nicht zulassen.
This was the first football match I watched on TV, and I fell in love with football. In this video we hear the german original comment of Rudi Michel, the man who commented many great matches, so the final in Munich 1974. Great memories of great moments!
Nein. Es war Werner Schneider vom ZDF😉
@@jurgenraabe4995 Sie haben recht, es war Werner Schneider, ich habe die beiden verwechselt!
@@poldiwacholdi5502 Darauf eine leckere Wacholderbeere.
The first international football I ever saw and it had a profound effect on me. I realised then that skill and intelligence was the way.
WOW! What real football they played!! No lawn-chess, stood-football and boring ball-bedload you see so often nowadays
Absolutely agreed.
37:06 Guy gets practically elbowed in the face.. it was poorly timed and was a definite foul.. no foul given.. everybody plays on without any fuss. Ref hasn't given it.. play on. This is what I miss.. I'm old enough to remember when diving, cheating and getting people sent off was considered unmanly and unsporting.. today the player would act like he'd been hit by a truck in the face, roll around for ages and Jurgen Klopp would be all teeth and jumping up and down on the sidelines trying to pressure the referee. The ref would be forced into a decision, the player would be sent off and all the pundits would tut over it for 15 minutes after the match and we'd all have a big debate about it.. I for one am sick of that shit.
The game has to allow for more contact for the diving and cheating to stop. When the ref stops for every fall the game will never flow and players will exergerrate every foul, looking for a freekick. As long as its virtually a non contact sport, the diving and rolling will never stop. I miss the 90's football where it was a perfect balance between technical skills on the ball and physicality. Now its a contactless sport and theres more physicality in Chess.
@@vja1970 Ignorant comment. 1. Elbowing in the face is more than "contact" & it is a fould no matter the exaggeration of the reaction to it *i.e. even attempted murder is a crime.* 2. This match was long before diving was a thing.
THAT was beautiful game... Look how they handle the ball. No awkwardness, tripping over their own feet like today..
I remember watching it, with my jaw dropped.. ;)
Are you serious? The technical level is atrocious in this game. So many miscontrolled balls and misplaced passes.
@@garethjones6675 xxD
The technical level is neitehr "atrocious" nor is it "awkwardness" today - the ball was much heavier in those days than the light-weight things of today, which makes for a completely different behaviour and necessity for ball-"treatment".
@@garethjones6675 Don't exaggerate. Not much difference in ball treatment in that game and today if we consider qualities of the ball in 1970s and in modern football. Misplaced passes can be seen aplenty these days as well. Here in 1972 game we already see possession game by Germans and pressing by both teams. And very fast game as well with acceleration by both teams. Not much difference from modern game.
That's was when i first started supporting the Germany National team
Two of the great goalkeepers of the world who suffered similar fates , car crashes that cut their careers earlier .
Sepp was never the very highest class and made a few clangers but won the World Cup for the Germans with 2 inspired performances against Poland and Holland.
Thank you for this video.
Gordon Banks is wearing His own make/design of Goalkeeper Jersey in this match,not an official Umbro Jersey.No three lions badge or number,button up collar instead of crew neck.He wore the same style Jersey for Stoke City,but in a pale green or blue.
VLW Paulo Bastos!!! Nota 10!
Brilliant game especially the second half, end to end. England were much better in that period than in the first half. Marsh gave the team real energy when he came on and caused the German defence real problems. Thank you for posting. Netzer though...wow just different class all the game, shame he missed the 1974 wc final.
Da war ich 7 jahre alt und ich habe es gesehen.....Danke dafür!
Netzer was the key player, made all the difference in midfield.
yet was surplus to requirements come the world cup
@@dlamiss Gunther Netzer was injured and could not play in '74 WC. Despite missing him, West Germany still won. They were that good.
@@sqrt6935 He was actually n the 74 WC squad but by then was only a peripheral figure. Played a few minutes against East Germany
Wolfgang Overath was also good!
@@dlamiss WG had Wolfgang Overath who was in some ways similar to Netzer. For me Netzer at his best was better than Wolfgang, who was also very good player. But I think Wolgang was a more consistent player.
The photography is terrific 💜
Müller thought that "I will try this again in a couple of years..." PERFECT
Both were very classy in every aspect even when they play football . Germany , England I love you both.
what..s f....ing...game.....with full..stadium...the pure love of the game...i miss that
habe ich als kind gesehen ....man was für erinnerungen DANKE
The old Wembley actually looks a lot bigger than the new Wembley which looks smaller.
England vs Deutschland waren immer Strassenfeger. Auch heute noch die besten Spiele.
zu dieser zeit sagte der kommentator noch wer am ball war, heute wird erzählt was in der sport zeitung steht worüber diskutiert wird in der medien welt, die kommentatoren heute müssen sich die wiederholung anschauen, damit sie wissen wer wann gefault wurde damit sie die entscheidung des schiris in frage stellen können, nicht zu vergessen welcher spieler vor dem spiel wo war.
Perfekt geschrieben stimmt alles
A distant memory from a childhood holiday on Majorca, where almost everyone in the hotel wanted Germany to win. I thought then-and I still think today- that the Germans were much the better side. Netzer was awesome, and looking at the match getting on for half a century later, the England defence was ropey, with the late great Sir Bobby Moore past his best.
Yes a few others were as well and England had become too predictable. Long crosses etc, very little guile in midfield. Not unlike today.
Vielen, vielen Dank für hochladen des Spiels und dann noch mit deutschem Kommentator)))!!!
Sehr schönes Spiel.
Sogar mit Deutschem Kommentar.
Da kann man verstehen, warum der Fußball von damals als besser angesehen wird.
Das spiel war so lebendig, so das es Spaß machte dem zuzusehen.
Vielen dank fürs Hochladen.

Lee and Hurst never played for England again after this game and it should also have been Bobby Moores last game but Ramsey persevered with him too long which proved costly in Poland 14 months later. Mullery was also on the bench for this game even though by then be had been loaned out to Fulham by Tottenham
I enjoy the commentator who is talking what we want to hear and not the crap when you watch a football game in those days 2023....
Notice how many English passes went astray compared to the Germans' - says it all . No wonder England failed to qualify for the Eoros in '72 , and West Germany went on to win it ..
too true. For EH to lose possession there was criminal. He always seemed to cross the ball back on to his right foot, when playing in a left back position. He was deff at fault for 3rd German goal by Muller
Two big civilisations two big teams

A strong Germany penalty shout turned down at 47.40. Casual play by Marsh at 1.18.47 then brought England's resurgence to a deadly halt.
hughes was awful .not up to it at this level.
It's already half a century ago when this 1972 European Championship first leg quarterfinal clash between West Germany and England took place at the Wembley stadium on 29 April 1972.
It was just a few days before I turned 12 when West Germany captained by Franz Beckenbauer beat England 3-1 at Wembley in the first leg.
West Germany prior to the first leg clash at Wembley had beaten Hungary 2-0 in a friendly at Budapest.
As such West Germany were brimming with confidence when they arrived in London.
But,unlike England,the West Germans under Helmut Shoen had overhauled the team soon after the 1970 World Cup finals in Mexico.The old guards like Wolfgang Weber,Uwe Seeler,Willie Shulz and Karl Heinz Schnellinger had retired from international football.Newcomers like Uli Hoeness,George Shwarzenbeck,Paul Breitner,Herbert Wimmer,Bernd Holzenbein and Rainer Bonhof had been drafted into the team.
Thus the first leg clash between West Germany and England had been dubbed the clash between the "Old and the New "
Sir Alf Ramsey still have faith in those who had served him so we'll in the last two World Cups of 1966 and 1970.Five 1966 World Cup winners and several from the last World Cup in Mexico.There were only minimal changes to the England team with Paul Madeley,Roy McFarland and Martin Chivers were the newcomers.Liverpool's Emlyn Hughes had his first taste of international football in 1969 just before the 1970 World Cup.
On that fateful night at Wembley on 29 April the West Germans humiliated the home team 3-1 at Wembley with Uli Hoeness,Gunther NetZero(pen.)and Gerd Mullet scoring for the visitors and Francis Lee for the home.Two of the West German goals came in the last five minutes.
Netzer was amazing!
Here are the goals:
20:50 0-1 Germany
1:12:14 1-1 England
1:18:55 1-2 Germany
1:23:50 1-3 Germany
Sólo este partido vale más, tiene más calidad que toda la Eurocopa de 2021
It was the first german win in wembley! ) Der *1. Deutsche Sieg* "im Wembley!"
The best team we had in history. Many say 1990 but this team was so dominant. We should have won in 1976 as well. 3 titles in the 70s decade just amazing.
I say 2014. That was the pinnacle of attacking football imho. I loved the 1972 team was 13y) at the time but the 2014 just gave me more chills. 1990 the football played was somewhat boring.
1966 to 1996 was an increadible time of producing generations of top players. The 1990s had Matthaeus, Kahn, Effenberg, Basler, Kirsten - what personalities. Absent today. Euro 96 was won without Kohler, Effenberg, Matthaeus, Basler, Riedle, Kahn - amazing depth of talent. All gone now sadly and it's never coming back. Germany is finished as a nation and football nation.
@@randyborstol2491 what?? Some efficient trolling of forgetting to take meds? Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Boateng, Hummels, Neuer, Klose etc etc.. It's not long ago when Germany had maybe the best team they have ever had.
Kirsten, Basler, Effenberg?? Those are wasted talents. Personalities yes but nobody wants a team full of Effes.
@@peterhammer4644 10 years ago. It's not the best team ever. Up to 2013 that generation were known as a team of losers which is forgotten now. 2013 and 2014 saved them. I said the same about Germany just before the 2018 world cup and people laughed at me. Now look at them. It's demographics friend and culture. Germans have not had a surplus population rate since 1974. German women are not having children. The team is now full of Africans and Turks who treat the national team just like a club team and do not care much. And then the culture- what few Germans that make it are effete (certainly not Effenbergs). Havertz and Goreztska are embarrassments as men.
@@randyborstol2491 I agree about Havertz and Goretzka but about nothing else. Losers??? They got a medal in 4 successive World Cups, has ever ANY team done the same. 2012 they should have won the Euro, only Low was to fault with the biggest mistake of his career against Italy. He already did a big mistake against Spain in 2010. In some way the mistake was repeated again in 2016 but in that match Germany also wasn't very luck. You always need some luck to finish on top.
You seem to be a racist so I this is my last post regarding this issue.
Netzer a été l'une des pièces maîtresses de cette équipe allemande ......le Netzer "1972' c'est top!!
ALAN BALL THE MASTER OF THE FIVE YARD PASS INTO NOWHERE
This is the first time I have watched the full match since that night April 29th 1972. The Germans outclassed England in every department. England huffed and puffed but their shortcomings were so obvious. At the back Franz "The Kaiser"Beckenbauer was imperious, playing the game at his own pace. The man of the match was Gunther Netzer who controlled the midfield and netted the late penalty. There were superb contributions also from Uli Hoeness (scorer of the first goal), Herbert Wimmer and Sigi Held. In fact the whole West German team played well. The final word was left with the ace finisher Gerd Muller. One clear chance in the 89th minute, the legendary swivel and Banks was beaten. This really was the beginning of the end for England as a real world power in football. Moore , Ball, Peters and Hurst were past their best and the gulf in class showed. The England press and fans tried to convince themselves that they were on a par with the Germans, but they were deluded. The second leg was 0-0 in Berlin two weeks later and the Germans went on to deservedly win the tournament.
It was the last time England under Sir Alf Ramsey fielded almost half of its 1966 World Cup winning team.
No less than five of the 1966 World Cup winners took to field against West Germany at Wembley in the first leg quarter finals of the 1972 Nations Cup.
Skipper Bobby Moore,midfielders Alan Ball and Martin Peters,goalkeeper Gordon Banks and striker Geoff Hurst were the five survivors from the 1966 England's tiumphant World Cup team and they were the key men Sir Alf had pinned his hopes on getting a comfortable two goals lead.
But that West German team under Helmut Shoen had undergone vast changes since being eliminated 4-3 in extra time by Italy in the semifinals of the 1970 World Cup two years ago in Mexico.
And this West German team came to Wembley without illustrious names like Wolfgang Overath,Bertie Vogts,Fichtel,Johannes Lohr and even Wolfgang Weber.In fact the German team that faced England comprised young players from Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchenglabach.
Uli Hoeness,Paul Breitner and George Shwarzenbeck we're all from Bayern.
In contrast England were still relying on the old guard.Apart from the 1966 World Cup winners Norman Hunter and Alan Mullery were from the pre 1966 World Cup era.Hunter gained his first England cap in 1965 whereas Mullery a year earlier.And Francis Lee and Colin Bell played in the last World Cup in Mexico.
It was the New versus the Old at Wembley on the night of 29 April 1972 with the former walking out 3-1 winners.
It would have been better for the English game if Ramsay had been sacked after Mexico '70 and Ron Greenwood installed.
It's great match ,is true made me to feel pleasure ,,Thank you so much ,,,those the best players on the world in both team.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
what a great commentator
It was Werner Schneider (1920-1995) from ZDF. I (*1960) like him too.
In Germany, this match will always be remembered as the birth of a great team. I was lucky to watch it on TV as a teenager..😊
Timaço esse da Mannschaft 🇩🇪 de 1.972.
Beautiful match & both team are great. Salute salute👌👌
This 3:1 in England was celebrated like the World Cup in Germany. I was 10 years old at that time and watched it on TV with my father. We could NOT believe it.😊😉
Muitas lendas em campo, Gordon Banks, Gerard Muller, Beckenbauer...
Esses vídeos são maravilhosos
Das waren noch Spielertypen, ob Beckenbauer, Netzer, Grabovski, Breitner, Hoeneß, Müller, Vogt, Overat und noch einige mehr die damals mitgespielt haben. Kein vergleich zu denn heutigen möchtegern "STARS", da hätte es kein 0:6 gegen Spanien gegeben.
A great treat to see those beautiful kits with no advertising, no names on, no irritating flashes of different colour. If this game were played today, England would be in all White or Red for some reason and the Germans would no doubt be in all Black. Even the ball looks fantastic: just plain white. Oh, and these guys could play a bit, too!
umm ya veo porque Inglaterra llegó muy apresurado a eliminatorias del mundial 74,sí tuvo que rehacer un equipo que ya era muy veterano,y no podían en año y medio moldear una estructura táctica para disputarla.
1:19:54 Gordon Banks' dive was poetry in motion.
one..of the Best..if...not the best..i Have...seen.
the opening ENG assault at 1:30 is just nuts
Of all the times Germany has played England in tournaments I'd say this is the one time where they were conclusively better, probably the best ever German team with players like Beckenbauer, Muller, Netzer and Breitner. All the other times - 66, 70, 82, 90 and 96 - it was close and could have gone either way, and even though 2010 ended up 4-1 it swung on a ridiculously disallowed goal when it was only 2-1.
Bullshit. Germany were far superior to England in 1990 and 2010 as well. 1990 England were lucky as fuck to even get to the Semis. They won one game after 90 minutes and that was Egypt. Scored 8 goals during the tournement - Germany scored 9 in their first two games. 2010 Germany had torn England apart even if the Lampard goal had been given. England had 5 good minutes in that game and were utterly outplayed for the entire rest.
1996 Germans were lucky, but so were England who didn't even deserve to get past Spain.
Drivel! Have you even watched the 1990 game? It was incredibly close and could have gone either way, there was nothing between the teams other than Germany's ability to take penalties. And I admire your omniscience in knowing for sure that Germany would have thrashed England even if Lampard's goal had been allowed. After all teams that are initially being outplayed but then come back NEVER win games. The Liverpool v AC Milan Champions League final proves your point perfectly. LOL.
I'm talking about the entire tournement in 1990 not just the Semifinal - Germany were clearly the best team in that competition and deserved to win it.
2010 England being 1-2 down at half-time they still had enough time to equalize. Instead they were totally outplayed again in that second half just like they were in the first 30 minutes. Germany were clearly the bettet side than England and proved it the following years. The youngest squad of the competition in 2014 and won it. England can dream of such an achievement.
But then we all know that huge sting the English have in their ass when it comes to achknowledge German achievements. Envy is a bitch, isn't it?
So why did you say "bullshit" when it is clear to anyone but a fool that my original comment was specifically about the head to head games between England and Germany being close, which is undeniable. 2010 would likely have been close too if the Lampard goal had been allowed, because they wouldn't have over-committed forward in the last half hour. Anyway you're very boring and seem somewhat obsessed with England so I'll leave you to fulminate on your own.
England's obsessed and utterly envious towards German football that it just has to clutch at every tiny straw to prove to itself "we're close.... or better" - which they aren't in the slightest. 2010 game never was close but the total and utter delusional way England looks at this game now tells you all you need to know why they are in the bad state they're in now. Denying, ignoring, living a bubble... sums up English football.
Last game Gordan Banks played for England due to traffic accident.Also last time Francis Lee was elected despite he scored the only goal for the team.
Netzer was on this performance one of the greats. But Beckenbauer and Muller show their class.
The 1972 Ballon Dor was the first time in history that the top 3 places all went to players from the same country (Germany)
1st: Franz Beckenbauer
2nd: Gerd Mueller
3rd: Guenter Netzer.
Germany would repeat that feat again in 1981 with Rummenigge, Schuster & Breitner claiming the top 3 spots.
R.I.P. Franz Beckenbauer!
It's a real pity that Netzer was "fired" from Germany because he was not reliable for Kaiser Franz. He was an incredible player.
I love always Frank Beckembauer
Incomparable.
Error:That 1972 Nations Cup quarterfinal first leg tie at Wembley on 29 April 1972 was held much earlier than the European Championship finals held at Brussels Belgium.So I apologise for my error.
1972: more technique, less athletic. (for example Netzer,...)
2020: more athletic, less technique. (for example Leroy Sane,...)
Yes back then you rarely heard commentators say "Poor touch" or "Couldn't get his feet right". Much better to watch and a lot of the players were as fit as they are today. That German side combined brilliant technique with superb fitness.
Can remember this game very well. England and Alf Ramsay not realizing that the power had by then switched to this magnificent West Germany team!
It was football of the finest quality in that Euro Championship quarterfinal first leg clash between West Germany and England at Wembley on 29 April 1972.
England aa the 1966 World Cup champions had won all its Nation Cup ties bar one.The 1-1 draw with Switzerland at Wembley.
Throughout 1971 and until that first leg clash at Wembley in 1972,England were unbeaten with victories over Malta,Greece and Switzerland.Scotland were also beaten 3-1 at Wembley in the Home Championship.
But England under Sir Alf Ramsey hardly had a friendly international match for five months prior to the 29 April date with the West Germans at Wembley.This proved to be costly as the England team only assembled barely a week before the Wembley clash with the Germans.Even Roy McFarland had to excuse himself from the England team but Sir Alf only found out that he was actually playing for Derby County in an important FA Cup tie.
And the England team remained unchanged from the one that had soundly beaten Scotland at Wembley barely a year ago.
Five 1966 World Cup winners Ball,Moore,Peters,Hurst and Banks took to the field with Bell,Hunter and Lee from the last World Cup in Mexico.Only Chivers,Madeley and Hughes did not play in Mexico although the last was member of the team.
Here we have a relatively aging England team facing a new looked West German team with new blood.
That evening England were outclassed by this superb West German team with Uli Hoeness,Gunther Netzer(pen.) and Gerd Muller scoring for the visitors and Francis Lee for the home team.
1:18:57 well done running into the legs.
I thought to euro 80 final, Vandereycken's dive into the pk area after being tackled outside.
Karma : W. Germany scored 2-1 at 88'
Wow what a game! Whoever said football has gotten any faster over the last 45 years?! I couldn't tell from watching this match and comparing it - say - to the 2014 WC final.
justus ohlhaver The velocity of this video just must have been a little bit manipulated. I happen to have the dvd, on which the game lasts its regular 90 minutes. This video here is some 4‘ shorter although nothing is skipped.
In der Strafraumbeherrschung war Sepp Maier unschlagbar, wahrscheinlich bis heute.
Wonderful
