1:17:35 > 1:17:38To the English who invented the game, it seemed natural justice.
1:17:39 > 1:17:42Now it is 1970,
1:17:42 > 1:17:44and they must travel to defend their title
1:17:44 > 1:17:46to Mexico.

1:18:12 > 1:18:14In a game where two minutes, even 30 seconds
1:18:14 > 1:18:17can make the difference between victory and defeat,
1:18:17 > 1:18:19four years can be a career.
1:18:27 > 1:18:31Around the world, 14 other national teams are travelling to Mexico
1:18:31 > 1:18:33to dispute England's title.

1:24:07 > 1:24:08Adios, Tarzan.
1:24:09 > 1:24:11Bye!
1:24:22 > 1:24:25The last day of May 1970.
1:24:25 > 1:24:28Today the eyes of all Mexico and half the world
1:24:28 > 1:24:32are focused on this cascade of concrete called Azteca.
1:24:32 > 1:24:3640 years ago, Mexico kicked off the very first World Cup in Uruguay.
1:24:36 > 1:24:41Now, they stage the World Cup in their country, in their stadium.
1:24:41 > 1:24:42Ooh, it's Tarzan.
1:24:42 > 1:24:43Oh, no.
1:24:43 > 1:24:45You forgot this.
1:24:45 > 1:24:46In those 40 years,
1:24:46 > 1:24:49the World Cup has risen to rival the Olympic Games
1:24:49 > 1:24:51as THE world sports spectacular.
1:24:52 > 1:24:5470 teams competed to come here.
1:24:54 > 1:24:5616 have qualified.
1:24:57 > 1:24:58To play here is an honour.
1:24:59 > 1:25:02To be here an unforgettable experience.
1:25:06 > 1:25:10The banners of the 16 qualifying nations are carried into the arena.
1:25:11 > 1:25:14Germany - beaten finalists in 1966,
1:25:14 > 1:25:16determined to go one better.
1:25:16 > 1:25:18Belgium - surprise potential.
1:25:18 > 1:25:20Brazil - crowd favourites.
1:25:20 > 1:25:23Bulgaria - hard, well-drilled.
1:25:23 > 1:25:25Czechoslovakia - strong defence.
1:25:25 > 1:25:28El Salvador - fought a war to be here.
1:25:28 > 1:25:31England - defending champions.
1:25:31 > 1:25:33Uruguay - iron wall defence.
1:25:35 > 1:25:37Mexico - host team,
1:25:37 > 1:25:38vociferous home support.
1:26:05 > 1:26:0816 nations, some confident,
1:26:08 > 1:26:10some without real hope,
1:26:10 > 1:26:12but thinking of the uncertainties of the game,
1:26:12 > 1:26:16the way luck plays its tricks and dreaming of the miracle.
1:26:17 > 1:26:20For Russia and Mexico, the moment of truth is today.
1:26:21 > 1:26:23They go onto the field for the opening ceremony.
1:26:30 > 1:26:33CROWD ROARS
1:27:06 > 1:27:07Even before the kick-off,
1:27:07 > 1:27:09the Russians have made their first tactical move.
1:27:09 > 1:27:12They don't risk their team for a half hour of handshaking
1:27:12 > 1:27:14in the broiling midday sun.
1:27:14 > 1:27:16For that chore, they field a team of reserves.
1:27:34 > 1:27:35The team captains -
1:27:35 > 1:27:39Shesternyov for Russia, Pena for Mexico.
1:27:39 > 1:27:41Referee - Kurt Tschenscher of Germany.
1:27:43 > 1:27:47He'll be the first to institute FIFA's new rules for referees.
1:27:47 > 1:27:49The balloons rise and with them soar
1:27:49 > 1:27:51the hopes of all Mexico for their team.
1:27:51 > 1:27:54CROWD CHEER
1:27:54 > 1:27:56- THEY CHANT:- Mexico!
1:27:56 > 1:27:57Mexico!
1:27:59 > 1:28:03They are unashamedly, exuberantly partisan.
1:28:03 > 1:28:05And they want the world to know it.
1:28:05 > 1:28:09Now hopes, dreams and ambitions give way to realities
1:28:09 > 1:28:12as Russia kicks off World Cup '70.
1:28:18 > 1:28:21The first casualty, Referee Tschenscher.
1:28:23 > 1:28:26The first game of the series opens, understandably,
1:28:26 > 1:28:28with tentative midfield play.
1:28:28 > 1:28:31Surge attacks launched from a firmly entrenched defence.
1:29:13 > 1:29:17First scoring chance for Mexico. Velarde centres to Lopez.
1:29:41 > 1:29:42Perez to Fragoso.
1:29:53 > 1:29:55Valdivia crashes down.
1:30:04 > 1:30:07And for the first time, we see the card cautioning system.
1:30:07 > 1:30:09It's a yellow card this time.
1:30:09 > 1:30:11That means the offending player is cautioned.
1:30:11 > 1:30:13There is also a red card.
1:30:13 > 1:30:15The player shown that is sent off.
1:30:17 > 1:30:20The stadium is over capacity but outside,
1:30:20 > 1:30:23there are many more who travelled hopefully without tickets.
1:30:26 > 1:30:29They listen in on radio or share a TV set,
1:30:29 > 1:30:33but they are here on hand to share the excitement of the crowds.
1:30:33 > 1:30:36Sadly, the excitement is ALL in the crowds.
1:30:36 > 1:30:40The game they watch becomes even more defensive, ever less venturesome.
1:30:42 > 1:30:46And so, at full-time, with few chances made and none taken,
1:30:46 > 1:30:48the game ends without score.
1:30:48 > 1:30:51To the Mexican team, this is satisfaction enough.
1:30:51 > 1:30:54Tired, exhausted, the strain showing,
1:30:54 > 1:30:57they take what consolation they can in that.
1:30:57 > 1:31:01The first of the Group 2 matches is played in Puebla.
1:31:01 > 1:31:04Only slightly lower in altitude than Mexico City,
1:31:04 > 1:31:07Puebla claims it has the most beautiful stadium.
1:31:07 > 1:31:10Here, Israel will meet Uruguay.
1:31:10 > 1:31:14Israel is the first representative of the Asian Confederation to qualify.
1:31:14 > 1:31:20Uruguay have won the cup twice - in 1930 and 20 years later in 1950.
1:31:20 > 1:31:24Now, 20 years later still, they think it might be their turn again.
1:31:31 > 1:31:3222 minutes gone.
1:31:32 > 1:31:36Ildo Maneiro heads and Uruguay scores the first goal of the 1970 series.
1:31:38 > 1:31:40That's the only goal of the first half.
1:31:40 > 1:31:43At half-time, Uruguay 1-0 Israel.
1:31:48 > 1:31:50In the 52nd minute, Mujica.
1:31:50 > 1:31:54WHISTLE BLOWS And that's how it ends -
1:31:54 > 1:31:56Uruguay 2-0 Israel.
1:31:58 > 1:32:00The Jalisco Stadium, Guadalajara,
1:32:00 > 1:32:02the venue for Group 3 games,
1:32:02 > 1:32:04the toughest group of the four.
1:32:04 > 1:32:08England play here, Brazil, Czechoslovakia and Romania.
1:32:08 > 1:32:11Guadalajara is the second-largest city in Mexico,
1:32:11 > 1:32:14356 miles from the Azteca.
1:32:14 > 1:32:16The first match of this group
1:32:16 > 1:32:19is to be between holders England and Romania.
1:32:25 > 1:32:26Cooper goes down.
1:32:29 > 1:32:32It's to be a game played in the hard European style.
1:32:32 > 1:32:34Even the referee is European - Loraux of Belgium.
1:32:36 > 1:32:38Mullery this time. WHISTLE BLOWS
1:32:45 > 1:32:47Referee Loraux keeping a firm hand.
1:32:56 > 1:32:58Moore to Ball.
1:33:08 > 1:33:10And out to Lee.
1:33:13 > 1:33:14An all-European match
1:33:14 > 1:33:18but the Romanians might be playing at home for the support they receive from the crowd.
1:33:18 > 1:33:21The Mexicans are willing to shout for any team playing England.
1:33:21 > 1:33:23The series has found its villains.
1:33:26 > 1:33:29Romanian danger man is number 9, Dumitrache.
1:33:29 > 1:33:31But it is England that press the attack.
1:33:40 > 1:33:42Lee attacking.
1:33:42 > 1:33:44Avoids one tackle but Mocanu gets him.
1:33:58 > 1:34:00England presses.
1:34:00 > 1:34:03Romania is pulling nine men back into defence.
1:34:03 > 1:34:0565 minutes gone.
1:34:05 > 1:34:06Ball.
1:34:06 > 1:34:08To Lee. To Hurst.
1:34:12 > 1:34:17England go one ahead and stay there. The champions have drawn first blood.
1:34:21 > 1:34:23England 1-0 Romania.
1:34:23 > 1:34:28And the thin English support parades its defiance of the crowd's derision.
1:34:38 > 1:34:41Leon, capital of the state of Guanajuato.
1:34:45 > 1:34:51Group 4 matches will be played here - Germany, Morocco, Peru and Bulgaria.
1:34:51 > 1:34:56First in the list, Bulgaria versus Peru. Bulgaria kicks off.
1:35:07 > 1:35:11The young Peruvian team are shaken by news from home of the worst
1:35:11 > 1:35:15earthquake disaster in recent history. They wanted to return home.
1:35:15 > 1:35:16Their government ordered them to play on
1:35:16 > 1:35:19for the morale of their stricken countrymen.
1:35:19 > 1:35:22They wear black ribbons on their shirts in mourning.
1:35:22 > 1:35:25Maybe this news from home is the cause of their shaky start.
1:35:25 > 1:35:29They give away a free kick. Bulgarian Yakimov to take it.
1:35:29 > 1:35:30To Bonev.
1:35:30 > 1:35:33To Dermendzhiev. And Bulgaria are one up.
1:35:40 > 1:35:43Peru is a young side, full of promise,
1:35:43 > 1:35:45and they fight back.
1:35:45 > 1:35:47But five minutes into the second half,
1:35:47 > 1:35:49they give away another free kick.
1:35:57 > 1:35:59WHISTLE BLOWS
1:36:00 > 1:36:01Bonev takes this one...
1:36:03 > 1:36:06..immaculately. Bulgaria 2-0 Peru.
1:36:12 > 1:36:16All seems lost for Peru, to everyone except the young Peruvians.
1:36:16 > 1:36:18They play their hearts out.
1:36:19 > 1:36:21Gallado putting them back in the game.
1:36:25 > 1:36:27Peru 1-2 Bulgaria.
1:36:31 > 1:36:34Shalamanov brings down Sotil and now Peru gets a free kick.
1:36:54 > 1:36:57WHISTLE BLOWS
1:36:57 > 1:36:59Chumpitaz takes it.
1:36:59 > 1:37:01Peru have levelled 2-2.
1:37:01 > 1:37:04The spirit flows back into the Peruvians now.
1:37:08 > 1:37:09Cubillas of Peru.
1:37:13 > 1:37:15Peru go ahead 3-2.
1:37:18 > 1:37:22Good news for Peru. A whole heap of happiness.
1:37:23 > 1:37:28Group 2 again. Italy meet Sweden. Sweden have been finalists before.
1:37:28 > 1:37:32Twice cup winners Italy are here to lay the ghost of their ignominious
1:37:32 > 1:37:36exit from the 1966 competition, when they were beaten by North Korea.
1:37:38 > 1:37:40In the 10th minute, they bury the past.
1:37:40 > 1:37:42Mazzola centres to Boninsegna,
1:37:42 > 1:37:44to Riva. The ball hits the post.
1:37:48 > 1:37:51It comes out of the scramble to Domenghini.
1:37:51 > 1:37:54Hellstrom is far too late. Italy 1-0 Sweden.
1:37:58 > 1:38:01Sweden make desperate efforts to get on terms.
1:38:01 > 1:38:04Kindvall goes past Albertosi and the ball is in the net.
1:38:05 > 1:38:09But the referee says "no" and that's as close as Sweden come to scoring.
1:38:11 > 1:38:13At full-time, Italy 1-0 Sweden.
1:38:14 > 1:38:19In Guadalajara, twice champions Brazil meet Czechoslovakia.
1:38:32 > 1:38:35It's Brazil's first time out in the 1970 series.
1:38:35 > 1:38:39They failed early in 1966 because Pele failed.
1:38:39 > 1:38:43Now here he is again, four years later, four years older.
1:38:43 > 1:38:46Everyone waits to see whether the magic is still with him.
1:38:52 > 1:38:56Backing him in attack are Jairzinho, Rivellino and Tostao -
1:38:56 > 1:38:57a dreaded attacking line.
1:38:57 > 1:39:00But the Brazil defence is said to be doubtful.
1:39:01 > 1:39:04Czechoslovakian Petras gets through.
1:39:11 > 1:39:1523-year-old Petras the scorer - and he wants everyone to know.
1:39:18 > 1:39:2112 minutes later, Pele. He takes a dive.
1:39:21 > 1:39:24But it looks good to Uruguayan referee Barreto
1:39:24 > 1:39:28and the prize is a Brazilian set piece free kick, their speciality.
1:39:34 > 1:39:37The nervous Czechs eye Pele
1:39:37 > 1:39:40but it's Rivellino who takes it.
1:39:40 > 1:39:41And Brazil are level.
1:39:46 > 1:39:48In the second half, Pele.
1:39:48 > 1:39:50Brazil are ahead 2-1.
1:39:50 > 1:39:54Now it's Jairzinho, minutes from time.
1:39:54 > 1:39:55Brazil are two up.
1:39:56 > 1:39:59Jairzinho again, seconds to full-time. A one-man attack.
1:40:02 > 1:40:03Brazil 4-1 Czechoslovakia.
1:40:03 > 1:40:06Brazil meet England next and the holders are served notice
1:40:06 > 1:40:09that Brazil are back, masters of the game.
1:40:09 > 1:40:11Now in Group 4 at Leon,
1:40:11 > 1:40:16it's 1966 finalists Germany against no-chance Morocco.
1:40:16 > 1:40:18At least that's what the form book says.
1:40:18 > 1:40:21The Moroccans, fit and confident, with no expectation of glory,
1:40:21 > 1:40:23are determined not to miss chances.
1:40:29 > 1:40:33In the 22nd minute, Moroccan Jarir pierces the panicking German defence.
1:40:41 > 1:40:44Morocco are ahead. The crowd buzzes.
1:40:44 > 1:40:48They remember giant killers North Korea in 1966.
1:40:49 > 1:40:52The German counterattack is furious.
1:41:03 > 1:41:07The Moroccan goalkeeper Allal Kassou. Superb, dazzling stuff.
1:41:12 > 1:41:14But Uwe Seeler can also dazzle.
1:41:14 > 1:41:1756 minutes gone, Uwe Seeler.
1:41:17 > 1:41:19Unmistakable. Germany level at 1-1.
1:41:22 > 1:41:2478th minute of play and a rebound.
1:41:24 > 1:41:26Muller is there.
1:41:26 > 1:41:29Germany 2-1 Morocco. The Moroccans have tasted glory.
1:41:29 > 1:41:32It remains to be seen what they do with it.
1:41:32 > 1:41:34At the end, Germany win 2-1.
1:41:34 > 1:41:36Now in the Azteca,
1:41:36 > 1:41:39the crowd await the start of the game between Russia and Belgium.
1:41:43 > 1:41:47With deep shadows bisecting the Azteca pitch, Belgium kicks off.
1:41:56 > 1:41:58Russia have yet to score.
1:41:58 > 1:42:01It seems it's the Belgians who know the way to the goalmouth.
1:42:05 > 1:42:08But they can't get it in the net - and that's the only place it counts.
1:42:13 > 1:42:1514 minutes gone, Byshovets -
1:42:15 > 1:42:17and Russia's first goal.
1:42:22 > 1:42:25At the end of the first half, Russia 1-0 Belgium.
1:42:26 > 1:42:28Yevriuzhikin.
1:42:30 > 1:42:32Heylens, Belgian full-back.
1:42:38 > 1:42:4014 minutes of the second half gone. Asatiani.
1:42:43 > 1:42:44Byshovets all alone.
1:42:46 > 1:42:47Russia are three up.
1:42:54 > 1:42:56Khmelnitsky moving down the wing.
1:42:58 > 1:43:01Out to Yevriuzhikin.
1:43:01 > 1:43:02To Khmelnitsky.
1:43:04 > 1:43:06Russia 4-0 Belgium.
1:43:11 > 1:43:15Belgium are playing far below their normal game but they keep trying.
1:43:15 > 1:43:16Then luck gives a glance their way.
1:43:16 > 1:43:19Van Moer shoots. It rebounds.
1:43:19 > 1:43:22Lambert scores Belgium's only consolation.
1:43:23 > 1:43:27Russia win 4-1, have three points and only El Salvador left to meet.
1:43:27 > 1:43:30They seem set for the quarterfinals.
1:43:30 > 1:43:33In Group 4, Morocco meets Peru.
1:43:33 > 1:43:38Can Morocco now prove itself the giant killers of the 1970 series?
1:43:38 > 1:43:41Peru, flushed with their 3-2 success over Bulgaria, say "no".
1:43:50 > 1:43:51Peru are one up.
1:43:53 > 1:43:57The Moroccan defence isn't working as it did against Germany.
1:44:02 > 1:44:03Three minutes later,
1:44:03 > 1:44:07Challe goes through the confused Moroccan defence.
1:44:12 > 1:44:14Cubillas acrobatically making it 3-0.
1:44:19 > 1:44:23Not even the cat-like grace of Allal Kassou could hold back the tide.
1:44:27 > 1:44:31More good news for Peru. Disappointment for Morocco.
1:44:31 > 1:44:34Peru win 3-0 and are in the quarterfinals.
1:44:35 > 1:44:37Not so good news for El Salvador.
1:44:37 > 1:44:41They lost 3-0 to Belgium and now face home team Mexico.
1:44:44 > 1:44:46Mexico have yet to score in the competition
1:44:46 > 1:44:49and their first goal, when it comes, is full of controversy.
1:45:02 > 1:45:06Valdivia puts the ball past Magana, and all hell breaks loose.
1:45:08 > 1:45:10The Salvadorians pursue Referee Kandil
1:45:10 > 1:45:12and claim they should have had a free kick.
1:45:12 > 1:45:15And if that isn't enough, then Valdivia was offside.
1:45:21 > 1:45:25Kandil wants to get the game restarted. The Salvadorians don't.
1:45:37 > 1:45:39The referee starts issuing cautions.
1:45:41 > 1:45:43BOOING
1:45:47 > 1:45:50WHISTLE BLOWS
1:45:52 > 1:45:55All Kandil wants is to get the game restarted
1:45:55 > 1:45:58but El Salvador is determined not to let him.
1:45:58 > 1:46:01They don't want the ball on the spot. They prefer it off the field.
1:46:01 > 1:46:04CHEERING WHISTLE BLOWS
1:46:04 > 1:46:06The Mexican crowd are, naturally enough,
1:46:06 > 1:46:08giving Referee Kandil their full support.
1:46:08 > 1:46:10Then Referee Kandil hits on a happy solution.
1:46:10 > 1:46:13He blows his whistle for half-time.
1:46:13 > 1:46:16The Salvadorians, who fought a war to be here,
1:46:16 > 1:46:19look as if they're going off to declare another one. But they don't.
1:46:19 > 1:46:21They come back for the second half.
1:46:21 > 1:46:24Dispirited by losing the argument, they proceed to lose the match.
1:46:48 > 1:46:50Valdivia goes through on his own.
1:46:52 > 1:46:56Mexico are two up, to the joy of Mexican goalkeeper Calderon.
1:47:02 > 1:47:05Lopez combines with Fragoso, effectively.
1:47:07 > 1:47:093-0 now and Mexico are delirious with joy.
1:47:12 > 1:47:14WHISTLE BLOWS
1:47:20 > 1:47:25Basaguren substitutes for Lopez and immediately joins the celebrations,
1:47:25 > 1:47:29making it 4-0 for Mexico, giving them the lead in Group 1.
1:47:29 > 1:47:32In Group 2, Sweden meet Israel.
1:47:32 > 1:47:34It's a haggle rather than a match.
1:47:34 > 1:47:37Both teams give Ethiopian referee Tarekegn a lot of problems.
1:47:38 > 1:47:43Minor petty incidents form a running background to major fouls.
1:48:12 > 1:48:16Here, we see less in international sport
1:48:16 > 1:48:19than in a game which would disgrace schoolboys.
1:48:19 > 1:48:22Tarekegn appeals for calm but in vain.
1:48:32 > 1:48:34While Sweden's captain Hellstrom lies in agony,
1:48:34 > 1:48:36Israel's number 12 Schwager
1:48:36 > 1:48:40and Sweden's number 11 Orjan Persson can't stay away from each other
1:48:40 > 1:48:43but their attitude is not one of admiration.
1:49:06 > 1:49:08In the 54th minute, out of brawling chaos,
1:49:08 > 1:49:11comes Turesson and Sweden are one ahead.
1:49:12 > 1:49:14Israel is spurred to counterattack.
1:49:16 > 1:49:20Spiegler launches into the Swedish half too excitedly.
1:49:20 > 1:49:23Spiegler kicks Larsson, who nearly forgets to take his dive.
1:49:46 > 1:49:50The Swedes, who have abolished capital punishment at home,
1:49:50 > 1:49:52seem to want to make a exception for Spiegler.
1:49:52 > 1:49:55Probably wished they had because three minutes later,
1:49:55 > 1:49:58Spiegler scores the equaliser for Israel.
1:50:04 > 1:50:10And that's how it ends. Bruises but no bones broken and one goal each.
1:50:10 > 1:50:13Guadalajara, and in the blazing heat of noon,
1:50:13 > 1:50:16the game billed as "The Clash of Champions" -
1:50:16 > 1:50:18England meets Brazil.
1:50:18 > 1:50:22Brazil were the defending champions when England won in 1966.
1:50:22 > 1:50:27Now, Brazil are ready to show that the trophy should belong to them.
1:50:32 > 1:50:35Both teams try to establish early superiority
1:50:35 > 1:50:38but they're too closely matched for the quick, easy kill.
1:50:38 > 1:50:39Between them,
1:50:39 > 1:50:42these two teams have more world-class players than any other.
1:50:42 > 1:50:44Watch this sequence in one movement.
1:50:44 > 1:50:46Tostao to Rivellino.
1:50:48 > 1:50:51To Pele. His mis-kick picked up by Peters.
1:50:54 > 1:50:55Ball.
1:50:56 > 1:50:58Charlton.
1:51:00 > 1:51:02Wright.
1:51:02 > 1:51:03Lee.
1:51:03 > 1:51:06Bobby Charlton picks up, moving forward all the time.
1:51:06 > 1:51:08Out to Hurst.
1:51:08 > 1:51:10Lee.
1:51:10 > 1:51:12Ball again.
1:51:12 > 1:51:14Wright.
1:51:16 > 1:51:20Lee and Brazilian goalkeeper Felix has little trouble.
1:51:25 > 1:51:27Jairzinho goes down the wing,
1:51:27 > 1:51:29Pele is in the centre, ever-dangerous.
1:51:29 > 1:51:31Pele gets the pass
1:51:31 > 1:51:33and Banks makes the save of a lifetime.
1:51:44 > 1:51:47The temperature is in the high 90s now.
1:51:47 > 1:51:52The heat, the impasse, the tension starts to take toll of tempers.
1:51:52 > 1:51:53Mullery out to Wright.
1:51:56 > 1:51:57Centres to Lee.
1:51:57 > 1:51:59Felix saves it, Lee kicks him.
1:52:01 > 1:52:03The stadium erupts in anger.
1:52:04 > 1:52:06Lee protests it was an accident.
1:52:06 > 1:52:09Neither the crowd nor the Brazilians are prepared to believe him.
1:52:11 > 1:52:15Charlton goes to help and gets punched for his trouble.
1:52:27 > 1:52:32The game is restarted but Lee is not forgotten, he's marked for revenge.
1:52:32 > 1:52:34Lee starts another attack.
1:52:34 > 1:52:37Carlos Alberto is waiting, the foul is blatant
1:52:37 > 1:52:39but Brazil can do no wrong here.
1:52:39 > 1:52:42Referee Klein of Israel admonishes Carlos Alberto
1:52:42 > 1:52:45but he's only mildly interested.
1:52:45 > 1:52:49Is the "Clash of Champions" to become a backyard brawl?
1:52:49 > 1:52:51Pele comes in to take a hand.
1:52:51 > 1:52:53He speaks to his team-mates and that settles it.
1:52:53 > 1:52:55Football it's going to be.
1:52:59 > 1:53:02But at half-time, still no score.
1:53:02 > 1:53:05And for five minutes after the time for restart, no Brazil.
1:53:07 > 1:53:09Banks has found the only shade.
1:53:11 > 1:53:14England is kept waiting in the coppery sun by this
1:53:14 > 1:53:17piece of Brazilian gamesmanship before Brazil
1:53:17 > 1:53:20make their belated appearance to the applause of the crowd.
1:53:22 > 1:53:25Tostao finally kicks off the second half.
1:53:41 > 1:53:45And now both teams justify their reputations with superb soccer.
1:53:50 > 1:53:53Paulo Cezar to Rivellino.
1:53:53 > 1:53:56To captain Carlos Alberto.
1:54:02 > 1:54:03To Tostao.
1:54:04 > 1:54:07Rebound off Labone, Tostao retrieves.
1:54:10 > 1:54:12Paulo Cezar again.
1:54:12 > 1:54:14Tostao elbows through.
1:54:19 > 1:54:21To Pele.
1:54:21 > 1:54:24To Jairzinho and not even Banks can save them all!
1:54:32 > 1:54:35The champions are beaten 1-0.
1:54:49 > 1:54:54Leon, Group 4, and Germany play Bulgaria.
1:54:54 > 1:54:56Bulgaria take a free kick.
1:54:56 > 1:54:59Asparuhov to Nikodimov and...
1:54:59 > 1:55:01Bulgaria go ahead 1-0.
1:55:03 > 1:55:06But the Germans are specialists at coming from behind.
1:55:06 > 1:55:08And newcomer Libuda starts down the wing.
1:55:09 > 1:55:12The ball deflects and Libuda has scored.
1:55:12 > 1:55:17The Bulgarians protest but Libuda has no doubts. Neither do the crowd.
1:55:17 > 1:55:18It's 1-1.
1:55:21 > 1:55:24The 22nd minute, Libuda again. To Muller.
1:55:26 > 1:55:29Libuda, by his inspirational play, has made himself a marked man
1:55:29 > 1:55:33and he's chopped down by a desperate Bulgarian defence.
1:55:36 > 1:55:39Simeonov awaits the inevitable penalty.
1:55:42 > 1:55:43Muller to take it.
1:55:52 > 1:55:54Germany 3-1 Bulgaria.
1:55:56 > 1:55:5970 minutes gone, Muller to Seller.
1:56:00 > 1:56:02Germany 4-1 Bulgaria.
1:56:02 > 1:56:05The ubiquitous Libuda again to Muller who heads his third
1:56:05 > 1:56:08goal of the match, Germany's fifth.
1:56:08 > 1:56:10Germany's strength is now fully deployed
1:56:10 > 1:56:12but Bulgaria go out fighting.
1:56:12 > 1:56:14Two minutes from time, Kolev,
1:56:14 > 1:56:16and a goal.
1:56:16 > 1:56:20Germany win 5-2 to go into the quarterfinals.
1:56:20 > 1:56:23While Russia inevitably beats El Salvador in Group 1,
1:56:23 > 1:56:26Sweden plays Uruguay in Group 2.
1:56:26 > 1:56:28To qualify for the quarterfinals,
1:56:28 > 1:56:31Sweden must beat Uruguay by more than two goals.
1:56:35 > 1:56:37The Swedes press hard from the start.
1:56:37 > 1:56:41Kindvall puts the ball into the untended net.
1:56:41 > 1:56:44United States referee Landauer says no goal.
1:56:48 > 1:56:50The Uruguayans, needing only a draw to qualify,
1:56:50 > 1:56:54try to shut the game up tight but Sweden need these points too badly.
1:56:54 > 1:56:56Substitute Grahn seconds from time.
1:56:56 > 1:56:59Sweden are ahead but not by the two goals they need.
1:56:59 > 1:57:02They angrily claim Landauer had earlier robbed them of a good goal.
1:57:02 > 1:57:05The Uruguayans are stunned to be beaten by Sweden.
1:57:05 > 1:57:08Angrily, they scream at their own team
1:57:08 > 1:57:11but Uruguay have qualified, Sweden have not.
1:57:15 > 1:57:17Sweden have won 1-0.
1:57:17 > 1:57:20Brazil meets Romania in Guadalajara.
1:57:26 > 1:57:29Brazil is resting stars Gerson and Rivellino
1:57:29 > 1:57:33but Pele is there to take this free kick, classically.
1:57:34 > 1:57:36Brazil 1-0 Romania.
1:57:36 > 1:57:40Now, Cezar, Jairzinho, 2-0.
1:57:41 > 1:57:43But Romania are not out of it yet.
1:57:43 > 1:57:4634 minutes gone and Dumitrache is through.
1:57:46 > 1:57:48Brazil 2-1 Romania.
1:57:48 > 1:57:50The Romanian celebration is short-lived.
1:57:50 > 1:57:53Tostao, an incredible heel-kick to Pele.
1:57:53 > 1:57:553-1.
1:57:55 > 1:57:58Romania's turn. Satmareanu crosses to Dembrovschi.
1:57:58 > 1:58:00Romania only one down now.
1:58:03 > 1:58:04But time runs out.
1:58:04 > 1:58:07They are out, Brazil is in the quarterfinals along with
1:58:07 > 1:58:10England who will meet the winner of Group 4.
1:58:10 > 1:58:13Leadership of Group 4 is to be decided here
1:58:13 > 1:58:15between Germany and Peru.
1:58:15 > 1:58:19With two wins each, both are certain to qualify for the quarterfinals.
1:58:19 > 1:58:22The issue to be decided is who plays England.
1:58:23 > 1:58:26Uwe Seller, German team captain.
1:58:28 > 1:58:31Libuda, who in the 18th minute centres to Muller.
1:58:31 > 1:58:32Germany are one up.
1:58:32 > 1:58:36Peru's goalkeeper Rubinos senses this might not be his day.
1:58:36 > 1:58:40Seven minutes later, Lohr gets the ball, beats Gonzalez,
1:58:40 > 1:58:42crosses to Muller.
1:58:42 > 1:58:44Germany 2-0 Peru.
1:58:49 > 1:58:53Muller has scored both Germany goals so far and in the 37th minute,
1:58:53 > 1:58:55he receives from Uwe Seller.
1:58:57 > 1:59:01Muller completes his second hat-trick of the series.
1:59:01 > 1:59:04Peru seems beaten when Schnellinger brings down
1:59:04 > 1:59:06de la Torre on the edge of the penalty area.
1:59:09 > 1:59:11Peru are awarded a free kick.
1:59:11 > 1:59:13Cubillas takes it.
1:59:13 > 1:59:15A deflection past Sepp Maier.
1:59:16 > 1:59:20Germany win, lead Group 4 and now play England in the quarterfinals.
1:59:39 > 1:59:41Martin!
1:59:41 > 1:59:43That's where you are.
1:59:43 > 1:59:45Really, he's football-mad.
1:59:45 > 1:59:49In the Azteca, Mexico plays Belgium.
1:59:49 > 1:59:54The game is vital to both since either, by winning, can qualify.
1:59:54 > 1:59:57Russia already occupies one of the two possible places
1:59:57 > 2:00:00so one of these teams must be eliminated.
2:00:03 > 2:00:04Mexico kicks off.
2:00:17 > 2:00:19In the 15th minute, Valdivia and Jeck clash.
2:00:19 > 2:00:22Referee Coerezza of the Argentine awards a penalty.
2:00:22 > 2:00:25Jeck protests it was a 50-50 ball.
2:00:25 > 2:00:27They press their protest home
2:00:27 > 2:00:30and Coerezza gets some rough handling from the Belgians.
2:00:43 > 2:00:47Play is held up two minutes before Pena takes the penalty.
2:00:47 > 2:00:49Mexico go one up.
2:01:01 > 2:01:04In the second half, as badly as Belgium need these points,
2:01:04 > 2:01:07they can't get through the massed Mexican defence.
2:01:07 > 2:01:11Mexico win 1-0 and are in the quarterfinals for the first
2:01:11 > 2:01:12time in their history.
2:01:12 > 2:01:15And in Mexico City, it's fiesta in the streets.
2:01:17 > 2:01:20MARIACHI-STYLE MUSIC PLAYS
2:02:50 > 2:02:54Of the original 16 teams, eight are now eliminated.
2:02:54 > 2:02:58Of the survivors, Russia plays Uruguay,
2:02:58 > 2:03:02Italy plays Mexico, Brazil plays Peru,
2:03:02 > 2:03:04Germany plays England.
2:03:07 > 2:03:12First of the quarterfinal playoffs is between Russia and Uruguay.
2:03:12 > 2:03:13They've already played full-time,
2:03:13 > 2:03:1690 minutes of unremarkable football without score.
2:03:16 > 2:03:18Now, they must play an extra half-hour.
2:03:18 > 2:03:22Russia, winners of Group 1, started as favourites for this game.
2:03:22 > 2:03:27Uruguay, beaten by Sweden, ended runners-up to Italy in Group 2.
2:03:27 > 2:03:29Within seconds of the restart of extra time,
2:03:29 > 2:03:31Byshovets of Russia nets the ball.
2:03:31 > 2:03:34Referee van Ravens from Holland says no goal.
2:03:34 > 2:03:36Uruguayan fans breathe again.
2:03:39 > 2:03:42Then within seconds of the end, Ubina puts in a high cross
2:03:42 > 2:03:45and both Ancheta and Shesternyov rise to it.
2:03:46 > 2:03:48There is a scramble.
2:03:48 > 2:03:52Ancheta gets it to Esparrago and the ball is in.
2:03:52 > 2:03:55The Uruguayans celebrate, the Russians protest.
2:03:55 > 2:03:57They claim the ball was out of play.
2:03:57 > 2:03:58Let's see it again.
2:03:58 > 2:04:01Russian team captain Shesternyov rises with Ancheta.
2:04:04 > 2:04:05They scramble.
2:04:07 > 2:04:10The ball is on the line or was it out?
2:04:12 > 2:04:14The Russians continue their protest.
2:04:14 > 2:04:18Van Ravens has to make an on-the-spot decision without slow-motion
2:04:18 > 2:04:20film to help him. His decision is in.
2:04:20 > 2:04:22Russia are out of the series.
2:04:22 > 2:04:25Uruguay will meet the winner of the quarterfinal match
2:04:25 > 2:04:27between Brazil and Peru.
2:04:29 > 2:04:31Peru, not rated highly when they arrived here,
2:04:31 > 2:04:35have survived complete with mascot to the quarterfinals.
2:04:35 > 2:04:38Referee Loraux of Belgium limbers up.
2:04:40 > 2:04:42Brazil kicks off.
2:05:04 > 2:05:08At first, Peru worries the now-notorious Brazilian defence.
2:05:14 > 2:05:18But the Brazilian attack more than compensates.
2:05:18 > 2:05:22Tostao flicks to Rivellino and his first-time shot puts Brazil ahead.
2:05:22 > 2:05:23Tostao runs into the net with joy.
2:05:23 > 2:05:26His joy is not shared by Peru's goalkeeper Rubinos.
2:05:26 > 2:05:28Minutes later,
2:05:28 > 2:05:31and the Tostao-Rivellino combination works again.
2:05:31 > 2:05:34Tostao from an incredible angle. Brazil go two up.
2:05:34 > 2:05:36Now, Gallardo for Peru.
2:05:36 > 2:05:38Matching Tostao.
2:05:38 > 2:05:42In the second half, a Pele centre to Tostao.
2:05:42 > 2:05:44Brazil 3-1 Peru.
2:05:46 > 2:05:47But Peru haven't given up.
2:05:47 > 2:05:51Peruvian attackers are going down like 9-pins when Cubillas shoots.
2:05:51 > 2:05:54Brazil 3-2 Peru.
2:05:56 > 2:05:59Rubinos is way out of position. Jairzinho goes past him.
2:05:59 > 2:06:01Brazil 4-2 Peru.
2:06:02 > 2:06:04And that's how it ends.
2:06:04 > 2:06:08Brazil plays Uruguay in the semifinals.
2:06:08 > 2:06:11In Toluca, Mexico meet Italy.
2:06:13 > 2:06:15Italy have only scored once on their way here.
2:06:15 > 2:06:18Mexico have scored five and conceded none.
2:06:18 > 2:06:21The Mexicans now dream of further glory.
2:06:23 > 2:06:26In the 12th minute, it seems that they will achieve it.
2:06:26 > 2:06:28Fragoso starts the run, Italy hesitates,
2:06:28 > 2:06:31a cross to unmarked Gonzalez
2:06:31 > 2:06:34and the crowd erupts with joy as Mexico go ahead.
2:06:38 > 2:06:40The cheering is still echoing through Mexico
2:06:40 > 2:06:43when Boninsegna passes to Riva on the wing.
2:06:50 > 2:06:52He runs into Guzman.
2:06:53 > 2:06:56Perez picks up. His mis-kick goes to Domenghini.
2:06:56 > 2:06:58Guzman deflects. Calderon dozes.
2:06:58 > 2:07:02Italy are level and Mexico have conceded their first goal.
2:07:02 > 2:07:04The silence is emphatic.
2:07:09 > 2:07:12Goalkeeper Calderon, who is a spare-time movie star,
2:07:12 > 2:07:14doesn't even want to get up.
2:07:14 > 2:07:17Valdivia and Padilla complain to the referee.
2:07:17 > 2:07:19But what about, we'll never know.
2:07:25 > 2:07:2965 minutes gone. Riva, all alone.
2:07:29 > 2:07:31Calderon, late again.
2:07:31 > 2:07:33CHEERING
2:07:36 > 2:07:38Minutes later, substitute Rivera.
2:07:40 > 2:07:42Italy 3, Mexico 1.
2:07:43 > 2:07:45No complaints this time.
2:07:45 > 2:07:46Mexico is stunned.
2:07:46 > 2:07:48Italy have found their goal-scoring form.
2:08:01 > 2:08:02Riva this time.
2:08:04 > 2:08:05A scramble.
2:08:05 > 2:08:07And Italy are three ahead,
2:08:07 > 2:08:10emphatically in the semifinals.
2:08:10 > 2:08:12Italy 4, Mexico 1.
2:08:12 > 2:08:17Mexico's dreams are ashes as Calderon stands, wondering what happened.
2:08:29 > 2:08:34The last of the quarterfinals is a replay of the Wembley 1966 final.
2:08:34 > 2:08:37Germany v England.
2:08:37 > 2:08:40Both teams are determined on attacking football.
2:08:40 > 2:08:42In the first half it looks like England's game.
2:08:55 > 2:08:5930 minutes gone. Newton finds Mullery in the centre.
2:08:59 > 2:09:00England go one up.
2:09:00 > 2:09:02CHEERING
2:09:08 > 2:09:10Wembley all over again.
2:09:13 > 2:09:16Even more so four minutes after the start of the second half.
2:09:16 > 2:09:17Ball to Hurst.
2:09:22 > 2:09:24Out to Newton.
2:09:24 > 2:09:26In to Peters.
2:09:26 > 2:09:27England are two up.
2:09:27 > 2:09:29It seems all over now.
2:09:29 > 2:09:30And that's how it was at Wembley.
2:09:37 > 2:09:39Beckenbauer remembers Wembley.
2:09:39 > 2:09:40He goes past Mullery.
2:09:42 > 2:09:43Germany have pulled one back.
2:09:43 > 2:09:45But there are only 12 minutes to go.
2:09:45 > 2:09:48Can Germany maintain their reputation of pulling back from the brink?
2:10:03 > 2:10:06Schnellinger kicks. Seller heads back. Bonetti misses it.
2:10:06 > 2:10:08Germany, incredibly, are level.
2:10:08 > 2:10:11CHEERING
2:10:19 > 2:10:21WHISTLE BLOWS
2:10:21 > 2:10:24That means extra time and that's a repeat of Wembley, too.
2:10:25 > 2:10:29At Wembley, it was England that added two goals in extra time to win.
2:10:29 > 2:10:32They hope that history continues to repeat itself.
2:10:33 > 2:10:34WHISTLE BLOWS
2:10:34 > 2:10:37England start the last half-hour in aggressive mood.
2:10:44 > 2:10:45Bell to Hurst.
2:10:47 > 2:10:49In the second half of extra time,
2:10:49 > 2:10:51Grabowski on the wing.
2:10:53 > 2:10:55To Loher, to Muller.
2:10:55 > 2:10:58Germany are ahead for the first time in the match.
2:10:58 > 2:11:00The Wembley pattern is broken.
2:11:00 > 2:11:02CHEERING
2:11:02 > 2:11:04The crowd are delighted.
2:11:04 > 2:11:06Ever-hostile to England, they cheer themselves hoarse.
2:11:13 > 2:11:15Time runs out for England
2:11:15 > 2:11:17and the champions are dethroned.
2:11:17 > 2:11:20CHEERING

2:11:39 > 2:11:44the first of the semifinals - Brazil v Uruguay.
2:11:44 > 2:11:45Tostao kicks off.
2:11:56 > 2:11:58At first it's all midfield jockeying,
2:11:58 > 2:12:00the two South American teams testing each other out.
2:12:02 > 2:12:04Then, in the 19th minute,
2:12:04 > 2:12:05Uruguay strikes.
2:12:05 > 2:12:07Morales passes deep into Cubilla.
2:12:07 > 2:12:10Piazza can't block it. Felix can't reach it.
2:12:10 > 2:12:11CHEERING
2:12:11 > 2:12:14Uruguay shock the world by going ahead.
2:12:15 > 2:12:18Brazil's defence tested and found wanting again.
2:12:18 > 2:12:21CHEERING
2:12:43 > 2:12:45Brazilian pride is hurt.
2:12:45 > 2:12:46Their attack goes in.
2:12:46 > 2:12:50Clodoaldo runs through to get the return and hammers home.
2:12:50 > 2:12:51CHEERING
2:12:51 > 2:12:53Brazil have equalised.
2:13:12 > 2:13:1415 minutes to go.
2:13:14 > 2:13:15Pele flicks to Tostao.
2:13:16 > 2:13:19A deep pass to Jairzinho, who goes racing in.
2:13:22 > 2:13:232-1.
2:13:23 > 2:13:27Now, in the last seconds of the match, Pele to Rivellino.
2:13:30 > 2:13:32The scorer, Rivellino, in full flight of joy.
2:13:36 > 2:13:40Brazil 3, Uruguay 1. Brazil are in the final for certain now.
2:13:42 > 2:13:45Referee Mendibil tries to get this game restarted.
2:13:45 > 2:13:48He does eventually, but it changes nothing.
2:13:48 > 2:13:50Brazil win and go into the finals
2:13:50 > 2:13:53to meet the winner of the match between Italy and Germany.
2:13:56 > 2:13:58Italy kicks off,
2:13:58 > 2:14:00and, uncharacteristically,
2:14:00 > 2:14:02goes on the attack from the outset.
2:14:18 > 2:14:19With eight minutes gone,
2:14:19 > 2:14:22Boninsegna intercepts and shoots from 20 yards out.
2:14:22 > 2:14:24Italy are ahead.
2:14:26 > 2:14:28Boninsegna is rigid with joy.
2:14:36 > 2:14:39German team captain Uwe Seeler steps in to calm his team.
2:14:39 > 2:14:41Italy defend that goal remorselessly
2:14:41 > 2:14:43deep into the second half.
2:14:43 > 2:14:47Beckenbauer is brought down on the edge of the penalty area.
2:14:51 > 2:14:55Beckenbauer isn't acting. He's dislocated his shoulder.
2:14:55 > 2:14:57The Germans demand a penalty,
2:14:57 > 2:15:00but Mexican referee Yamasaki insists it's a free kick.
2:15:08 > 2:15:10The Germans protest.
2:15:10 > 2:15:12Uwe Seeler again attempts to calm his team,
2:15:12 > 2:15:14now being more Italian than the Italians.
2:15:27 > 2:15:30Italy is confident. These are the closing seconds of the match.
2:15:30 > 2:15:33They're reckoned to have the best defence in Europe.
2:15:41 > 2:15:44Finally, the ball is placed for the free kick.
2:15:44 > 2:15:46Held places it.
2:15:46 > 2:15:48Overath carefully adjusts it.
2:15:48 > 2:15:50This could be Germany's last chance.
2:15:50 > 2:15:51The kick is tapped to Held.
2:15:53 > 2:15:55Surely now it's all over for Germany? But no.
2:15:55 > 2:15:58Grabowski centres to Schnellinger...
2:15:59 > 2:16:02..and Germany have come level in the dying seconds of the match.
2:16:05 > 2:16:07Grabowski scoots off on a lap of honour,
2:16:07 > 2:16:11using energy he's going to need in the now inevitable extra time.
2:16:11 > 2:16:15The Italian trainer Ferruccio Valcareggi sees victory snatched
2:16:15 > 2:16:16from between his teeth.
2:16:16 > 2:16:19Boninsegna weeps with disappointment.
2:16:22 > 2:16:25Brinkmanship is becoming the German speciality.
2:16:25 > 2:16:27But they were never so close to the brink as this.
2:16:27 > 2:16:30The whole atmosphere is charged with excitement.
2:16:30 > 2:16:32The stadium buzzes, as they sense
2:16:32 > 2:16:35they're about to witness something special.
2:16:35 > 2:16:37Italy, famous for its defensive football,
2:16:37 > 2:16:39will be forced into attack.
2:16:39 > 2:16:43Germany, with their late goal, have an enormous psychological advantage.
2:16:43 > 2:16:47But now there, as speculation buzzes around the world,
2:16:47 > 2:16:50it's tired muscles that must be attended to,
2:16:50 > 2:16:52flagging spirits that must be revived,
2:16:52 > 2:16:54and wounded that must be nursed.
2:16:58 > 2:17:04Beckenbauer, his arm bound tight across his chest, intends to play on.
2:17:04 > 2:17:07And now for the half-hour that wrote "glorious"
2:17:07 > 2:17:09across the World Cup '70 competition.
2:17:11 > 2:17:13The Italians kick off.
2:17:20 > 2:17:22The Germans launch the first attack.
2:17:28 > 2:17:32The first goal is astonishing. It comes after Libuda takes this corner.
2:17:35 > 2:17:38It's chested by Poletti, who doesn't see Muller behind him.
2:17:38 > 2:17:42The ball rolls in with nightmarish slow motion.
2:17:44 > 2:17:46Germany are ahead 2-1.
2:17:46 > 2:17:49Now Rivera takes a free kick.
2:17:49 > 2:17:50To Burgnich.
2:17:51 > 2:17:54And astonishingly, it's level again, 2-2.
2:17:56 > 2:17:58Now, Domenghini centres to Riva.
2:17:58 > 2:18:00He goes round Schulz.
2:18:02 > 2:18:05And Italy lead yet again. 3-2.
2:18:07 > 2:18:09The match is moving into the realms of fantasy,
2:18:09 > 2:18:12both sides making mistakes, both sides scoring goals.
2:18:15 > 2:18:18Riva is brought down,
2:18:20 > 2:18:23but more with exhaustion than injury.
2:18:27 > 2:18:31At half-time of extra time, Italy still hold their lead of 3-2.
2:18:31 > 2:18:35Minutes of rest gratefully snatched by both sides. Beckenbauer plays on.
2:18:35 > 2:18:38His agony is forgotten in the tense excitement
2:18:38 > 2:18:40of the seesawing fortunes of his team.
2:18:47 > 2:18:49Overath takes a free kick.
2:18:50 > 2:18:52WHISTLE BLOWS
2:18:53 > 2:18:55To Uwe Seeler.
2:18:56 > 2:18:58No score, but a vital corner.
2:19:02 > 2:19:04It goes to Seeler. Heads to Muller.
2:19:04 > 2:19:06And in it goes.
2:19:06 > 2:19:09The match is, unbelievably, level again. 3-3.
2:19:09 > 2:19:12But even the seesaw must finally come to rest.
2:19:12 > 2:19:13Riva on the wing.
2:19:13 > 2:19:14He centres to Rivera.
2:19:14 > 2:19:16Sepp Maier has no chance.
2:19:23 > 2:19:254-3, Italy leading.
2:19:25 > 2:19:27Only seconds to go.
2:19:27 > 2:19:29All eyes are on referee Yamasaki's whistle.
2:19:29 > 2:19:32Held launches one last, desperate attack.
2:19:32 > 2:19:33WHISTLE BLOWS
2:19:33 > 2:19:34But it's all over.
2:19:34 > 2:19:36Italy have made it.
2:19:36 > 2:19:38Italy 4, Germany 3.
2:19:38 > 2:19:41Their manager, hysterical with joy, is running wild.
2:19:44 > 2:19:46Boninsegna is horizontal with fatigue,
2:19:46 > 2:19:50but Italy are in the final to play Brazil.
2:19:50 > 2:19:52Germany versus Uruguay -
2:19:52 > 2:19:55the play-off to decide third and fourth places.
2:19:55 > 2:19:57Germany decides it.
2:19:57 > 2:19:59Muller. Back to Overath.
2:20:00 > 2:20:03CROWD ROARS
2:20:06 > 2:20:09Germany are ahead and stay there to win 1-0.
2:20:11 > 2:20:13German celebrations are muted.
2:20:13 > 2:20:15It wasn't the final that was so nearly theirs.
2:20:15 > 2:20:17It had to be an anti-climax.
2:20:17 > 2:20:22But now, as they parade their banner, they're thinking ahead to 1974,
2:20:22 > 2:20:25when Germany will be host nation.
2:20:25 > 2:20:27It is they that will carry home support then.
2:20:27 > 2:20:29They will be heard from.
2:20:32 > 2:20:35CROWD ROARS
2:20:41 > 2:20:43ROAR FADES
2:20:45 > 2:20:47Mama!

2:21:36 > 2:21:38Today is the day
2:21:38 > 2:21:42the most defensive team in Europe meets the best attack in the world -
2:21:42 > 2:21:44Brazil meets Italy.
2:21:44 > 2:21:4616 nations came to Mexico.
2:21:48 > 2:21:51Two nations know the pride of fielding their teams
2:21:51 > 2:21:54in the Azteca Stadium to contend for soccer's greatest prize.
2:22:16 > 2:22:19CROWD ROARS
2:22:34 > 2:22:36The 22 proudest men in soccer.

2:22:45 > 2:22:48many balloons of many colours rose from the same stadium -
2:22:48 > 2:22:50today, just two.
2:22:55 > 2:22:58Now. Yes, now! The hosts' balloon.
2:22:59 > 2:23:01As they clear the field, the teams come on.
2:23:03 > 2:23:05The referee is Rudi Glockner from East Germany.
2:23:05 > 2:23:07Pele jaunty.
2:23:08 > 2:23:11The Italians throw roses to the crowd. It won't help them.
2:23:11 > 2:23:14The crowd is solidly for Brazil.
2:23:14 > 2:23:18Team captains - Carlos Alberto for Brazil, Facchetti for Italy.
2:23:20 > 2:23:25Whoever wins today takes permanent possession of the Jules Rimet Trophy.
2:23:25 > 2:23:27This is because both teams have won it twice before.
2:23:27 > 2:23:3040 years ago, they said the first team to win three times
2:23:30 > 2:23:32keeps it forever.
2:23:34 > 2:23:35A rose for a cheer.
2:23:37 > 2:23:38Even Riva finds time.
2:23:40 > 2:23:42Votive offering to good fortune,
2:23:42 > 2:23:45or simply something to do to lessen the tension?
2:23:50 > 2:23:54Now, everyone waits for the whistle to start the World Cup final, 1970.
2:23:54 > 2:23:55WHISTLE BLOWS
2:23:55 > 2:23:56CROWD ROARS
2:23:56 > 2:24:00These two teams have only met once before in the World Cup competition.
2:24:00 > 2:24:02That was in 1938.
2:24:02 > 2:24:05Italy won 2-1, and went on to win the World Cup that year.
2:24:18 > 2:24:21Everyone awaits the first flash of the Brazilian attack
2:24:21 > 2:24:22against the Italian defence.
2:24:22 > 2:24:24It comes within minutes...
2:24:30 > 2:24:31..but ends softly.
2:24:31 > 2:24:33First touch of the ball for Albertosi.
2:24:33 > 2:24:36He's conceded only four goals in the series so far,
2:24:36 > 2:24:38three of them to Germany.
2:24:38 > 2:24:40Now the Italian attack, going in.
2:24:40 > 2:24:42Mazzola.
2:24:42 > 2:24:43Centre to Riva.
2:24:44 > 2:24:45A corner.
2:24:53 > 2:24:55Mazzola takes it.
2:24:55 > 2:24:56It goes straight to Felix.
2:25:13 > 2:25:15Brazil's Everaldo is surrounded,
2:25:15 > 2:25:17but finding a way through.
2:25:17 > 2:25:19A greater test for Albertosi.
2:25:19 > 2:25:20Brazil appeals for a corner.
2:25:20 > 2:25:21It's ignored.
2:25:26 > 2:25:28Domenghini on the wing.
2:25:33 > 2:25:35Bertini, Jairzinho snatching it back.
2:25:35 > 2:25:37Facchetti bringing him down.
2:25:37 > 2:25:39WHISTLE BLOWS
2:25:43 > 2:25:44Free kick to Brazil.
2:25:46 > 2:25:50Pele, his fourth World Cup, probably his last.
2:26:01 > 2:26:03WHISTLE BLOWS
2:26:03 > 2:26:05Brazil, who make so much of free kicks...
2:26:05 > 2:26:06make nothing of this one.

2:26:21 > 2:26:23Everaldo.
2:26:24 > 2:26:25Intercepted.
2:26:29 > 2:26:30Boninsegna.
2:26:32 > 2:26:33Domenghini.
2:26:36 > 2:26:37Brazil use guile, now.
2:26:37 > 2:26:41Watch them pull Italian defender number 16, De Sisti, out of position.
2:26:41 > 2:26:43Gerson.
2:26:43 > 2:26:44To Carlos Alberto.
2:26:47 > 2:26:48Gerson again.
2:26:49 > 2:26:51To Tostao.
2:26:51 > 2:26:52To Clodoaldo.
2:26:52 > 2:26:54Gerson.
2:26:54 > 2:26:55De Sisti gives up.
2:26:55 > 2:26:57Carlos Alberto centres.
2:26:57 > 2:27:00Pressure on Albertosi is increasing.
2:27:01 > 2:27:03He gets a pat on the head from Pele.
2:27:14 > 2:27:15Riva, dogged by Piazza.
2:27:15 > 2:27:16Riva shoots.
2:27:19 > 2:27:21Felix stops it, loses it, recovers it.
2:27:21 > 2:27:24Solid, confident football from both teams so far.
2:27:24 > 2:27:26Power yet unleashed.
2:27:38 > 2:27:39Mazzola centres.
2:27:44 > 2:27:47Pele challenges...and is penalised.
2:27:47 > 2:27:48Feet up.
2:27:55 > 2:27:58Referee Glockner is determined to keep a firm hand on this game.
2:28:04 > 2:28:05Mazzola takes the kick.
2:28:05 > 2:28:07Riva heads.
2:28:07 > 2:28:08Felix rises to it...
2:28:08 > 2:28:09Safe, this time.
2:28:17 > 2:28:19Domenghini.
2:28:20 > 2:28:22Boninsegna is brought down.
2:28:22 > 2:28:23Riva, incensed.
2:28:31 > 2:28:34Italy's managers, pensive, concerned.
2:28:40 > 2:28:42Tostao, challenged by Rosato.
2:28:47 > 2:28:50Bobby Moore here, to tell how it is, thinking of how it might have been.
2:28:50 > 2:28:52Brazilian commentators -
2:28:52 > 2:28:53excited, expectant,
2:28:53 > 2:28:55waiting for Brazil's big moment.
2:28:55 > 2:28:56They haven't long to wait.
2:28:56 > 2:29:01Tostao throws in. Rivelino centres...to Pele.
2:29:03 > 2:29:0519 minutes gone, Brazil are one up!
2:29:09 > 2:29:10Gerson gives thanks.
2:29:14 > 2:29:16Albertosi - he couldn't stop a Pele goal,
2:29:16 > 2:29:18but he's not alone in that.
2:29:18 > 2:29:22That was Pele's 1,028th goal, a golden harvest.
2:29:22 > 2:29:24They appreciate goals in Brazil.
2:29:27 > 2:29:30Italy kicks off and immediately go into the attack.
2:29:33 > 2:29:36The Brazilian defence wide open.
2:29:36 > 2:29:37But Felix stops it.
2:29:50 > 2:29:51Jairzinho beats Facchetti.
2:29:57 > 2:30:00Burgnich beats Pele and the Italian counterattack is on.
2:30:02 > 2:30:03Boninsegna, going through the middle.
2:30:06 > 2:30:08Riva is with him - an open goal.
2:30:18 > 2:30:21Felix, who was way out of position, blames everyone else.
2:30:23 > 2:30:26Felix, trying to wipe away the taste of Italy's equaliser.
2:30:28 > 2:30:29Italy feasts on it.
2:30:31 > 2:30:33The Brazilian crowd have indigestion.
2:30:40 > 2:30:43All level again, everything to play for.
2:30:43 > 2:30:44WHISTLE BLOWS
2:30:48 > 2:30:49Rivelino.
2:30:49 > 2:30:51Bertini challenges...
2:30:56 > 2:30:57..then brings him down.
2:31:08 > 2:31:09A free kick to Brazil.
2:31:13 > 2:31:14Rivelino to take it.
2:31:17 > 2:31:18Albertosi punches up.
2:31:25 > 2:31:26But he comes right back to Pele.
2:31:26 > 2:31:28HALFTIME WHISTLE BLOWS Too late.
2:31:28 > 2:31:29Kicks in anyway.
2:31:31 > 2:31:34Pele is stunned. He protests. He wants his goal.
2:31:37 > 2:31:39The Italians kindly explain why he can't have it.
2:31:41 > 2:31:45Referee Glockner, fortunately, doesn't understand Portuguese.
2:31:45 > 2:31:47Half-time - one goal each.
2:31:52 > 2:31:55The Brazilians come out for the second half on time.
2:31:55 > 2:31:57Maybe they're afraid if they were late today,
2:31:57 > 2:32:00Referee Glockner would start without them,
2:32:00 > 2:32:03An even match so far - easy on the referee.
2:32:03 > 2:32:07Both teams conscious of the occasion, relying on skill rather than muscle.
2:32:18 > 2:32:20And all is ready for the second half.
2:32:21 > 2:32:23WHISTLE BLOWS
2:32:33 > 2:32:35Pele calls for the ball.
2:32:38 > 2:32:41Carlos Alberto centres. Pele races in.
2:32:42 > 2:32:43Pele is hurt.
2:32:43 > 2:32:45ten million Brazilian hearts stop beating.
2:32:46 > 2:32:48But it's only his hand. He plays on.
2:32:56 > 2:32:58Carlos Alberto centres.
2:33:02 > 2:33:04Gerson tagged by Cera.
2:33:09 > 2:33:11Pele is kicked in the head.
2:33:11 > 2:33:13Albertosi fears a penalty.
2:33:20 > 2:33:23But it's an indirect free kick, given in the penalty area -
2:33:23 > 2:33:24still dangerous.
2:33:27 > 2:33:29Albertosi prepares.
2:33:29 > 2:33:31This could be his greatest test yet.
2:33:31 > 2:33:33The Italian wall forms.
2:33:35 > 2:33:36WHISTLE BLOWS
2:33:36 > 2:33:37Gerson kicks.
2:33:37 > 2:33:40The wall holds - Albertosi, relieved.
2:33:48 > 2:33:51Facchetti clearing...to Boninsegna.
2:33:55 > 2:33:57Out to Domenghini - he shoots.
2:34:00 > 2:34:03Brazil's defensive weakness is exposed once more.
2:34:06 > 2:34:09Felix, vocal as ever, awaits yet another corner.
2:34:09 > 2:34:12Tense, nerve-racking minutes, these.
2:34:14 > 2:34:15The corner comes in to Burgnich.
2:34:17 > 2:34:20Still 1-1. It is beginning to look like stalemate.
2:34:20 > 2:34:25A time referees dread. A time when tension stretches tempers fine.
2:34:25 > 2:34:29A dangerous phase in any game, even more so in this one.
2:34:34 > 2:34:36Rivelino goes down.
2:34:40 > 2:34:42Now Jairzinho.
2:34:49 > 2:34:52Boninsegna...and friends.
2:34:55 > 2:34:57Tempers strain. Something must give.
2:35:09 > 2:35:11Bertini.
2:35:12 > 2:35:13He is hurt.
2:35:17 > 2:35:21He will limp on a little, then be replaced by Juliano.
2:35:36 > 2:35:38Cera takes the kick to De Sisti.
2:35:44 > 2:35:46Italy gain yet another corner.
2:35:50 > 2:35:52Felix punching out.
2:35:53 > 2:35:56Still nervous, still ready to blame everyone but himself.
2:36:00 > 2:36:02The crowd start answering back.
2:36:02 > 2:36:05Everyone is tensed up now, wanting something to cheer.
2:36:08 > 2:36:10Brazil attack.
2:36:12 > 2:36:13Jairzinho.
2:36:13 > 2:36:15He is tackled. Taps to Gerson.
2:36:15 > 2:36:17He beats Facchetti and shoots.
2:36:18 > 2:36:23Brazil go ahead again. Tostao runs wild with joy. Albertosi affronted.
2:36:23 > 2:36:27He has let two in now, and he knows who they will blame.
2:36:29 > 2:36:32CROWD CHANTS: Brazil!
2:36:40 > 2:36:42Brazil 2, Italy 1.
2:36:48 > 2:36:49Italy kick off.
2:37:00 > 2:37:02Italians Mazzola and Boninsegna in conference.
2:37:04 > 2:37:06Million-dollar legs in action. Pele's.
2:37:11 > 2:37:14Domenghini challenged by Pele. Pele goes down,
2:37:14 > 2:37:17pushed and kicked in the shin.
2:37:22 > 2:37:24Brazil's trainers rush on uninvited.
2:37:26 > 2:37:28That isn't a footballer looking at an injured leg,
2:37:28 > 2:37:31that is a corporation inspecting a damaged asset.
2:37:38 > 2:37:41The trainers get an escort off the field.
2:37:48 > 2:37:51Brazilian crisis over as Pele
2:37:51 > 2:37:52is seen to be back in the game.
2:38:04 > 2:38:06Gerson walks the ball from the free kick.
2:38:09 > 2:38:12To Jairzinho. Facchetti tries to hold on to him
2:38:12 > 2:38:14but Jairzinho scores anyway.
2:38:14 > 2:38:17Facchetti protests the goal was offside. Nobody is listening.
2:38:17 > 2:38:20Pele, his injury forgotten, leaps like a gazelle.
2:38:26 > 2:38:31The Italians still protest the goal was offside.
2:38:31 > 2:38:33Bertini wants the referee to consult his linesman.
2:38:33 > 2:38:35He does, and the linesman says it was OK.
2:38:45 > 2:38:48Riva is still protesting as Italy kick off.
2:38:48 > 2:38:51Italy two goals down, 20 minutes left for play.
2:39:16 > 2:39:21Everaldo at full speed. Albertosi is hurt, kicked in the face.
2:39:28 > 2:39:31It was a brave man that dived at Everaldo's thrashing feet.
2:39:31 > 2:39:33Even Pele is concerned.
2:39:33 > 2:39:37The trainer brings out soccer's magic cure-all from a tap.
2:39:40 > 2:39:44Rivera, number 14, comes on to report himself as substitute for Boninsegna.
2:39:50 > 2:39:53A last check on Albertosi as the minutes tick away.
2:40:02 > 2:40:04Three minutes to go.
2:40:09 > 2:40:11Pele to Gerson.
2:40:20 > 2:40:21Out to Tostao.
2:40:29 > 2:40:33Then Pele...to Carlos Alberto, who shoots.
2:40:44 > 2:40:46Brazil hugging four goals to their chests.
2:40:46 > 2:40:50Certain now of the World Cup 1970, they forget about this game.
2:40:58 > 2:41:01There is nothing left for Italy now, except disappointment.
2:41:01 > 2:41:03They take it bitterly.
2:41:08 > 2:41:09Referee Glockner,
2:41:09 > 2:41:12properly concerned with time, tries to clear the field
2:41:12 > 2:41:15of invading managers, trainers and well-wishers.
2:41:15 > 2:41:16It isn't easy.
2:41:37 > 2:41:39There are still two minutes of playing time left.
2:41:39 > 2:41:43Referee Glockner wants them played and he finally gets his way.
2:41:47 > 2:41:49Italy kick off, three goals down.
2:41:49 > 2:41:53What faint hopes they might still have are fading rapidly.
2:41:53 > 2:41:57Rivera's shot is almost perfunctory until Felix almost loses it.
2:42:12 > 2:42:13Jairzinho dancing on the wing.
2:42:20 > 2:42:22The crowd loves it.
2:42:23 > 2:42:27But Italy are still trying. Rosato.
2:42:30 > 2:42:31To Riva.
2:42:33 > 2:42:35A handholding tackle, pushed to Domenghini,
2:42:35 > 2:42:38who booms it into the crowd.
2:42:39 > 2:42:41RATTLE
2:42:43 > 2:42:45Appeals are made for the return of the ball,
2:42:45 > 2:42:50but in the dying seconds, it becomes somebody's souvenir.
2:42:50 > 2:42:52Glockner calls for a replacement.
2:43:19 > 2:43:24And then it is all over. Brazil are the champions, four goals to one.
2:43:34 > 2:43:35The Brazilian team is mobbed.
2:43:35 > 2:43:37Referee Glockner is anxious not to be.
2:43:44 > 2:43:45King Pele in court.
2:43:53 > 2:43:56Tostao, first embraced then stripped on the pitch
2:43:56 > 2:43:59by fervent fans in search of souvenirs.
2:44:09 > 2:44:13In the middle, Pele is hoisted high. He has already lost his shirt.
2:44:16 > 2:44:18Referee and linesmen self-congratulatory.
2:44:19 > 2:44:25Tostao and Felix, emotional. Emotion bred of tension. Tears of relief.
2:44:28 > 2:44:31Rivelino is in there, injured and getting treatment.
2:44:31 > 2:44:34Still the fans press around him.
2:44:39 > 2:44:40To their supporters,
2:44:40 > 2:44:43these are no longer mortal men.
2:44:43 > 2:44:44They are gods.
2:44:56 > 2:44:59They still carry King Pele and Carlos Alberto,
2:44:59 > 2:45:01Brazil's captain.
2:45:23 > 2:45:26And so, finally, with fresh shirts having been found,
2:45:26 > 2:45:30the victorious Brazilians go to accept the Jules Rimet Trophy
2:45:30 > 2:45:31for the third time.
2:45:34 > 2:45:40They won it in 1958, again in 1962. Failed in 1966.
2:45:40 > 2:45:43And now, in 1970, they win and keep
2:45:43 > 2:45:46the most treasured of soccer trophies.
2:45:47 > 2:45:51They have won all six games they have played.
2:45:51 > 2:45:53Theirs is a proud record
2:45:53 > 2:45:56and theirs a glittering prize.
2:46:16 > 2:46:18Carlos Alberto.
2:46:18 > 2:46:23Pele. Gerson. Jairzinho.
2:46:23 > 2:46:27These are the four that scored the goals that all Brazil rejoices in.
2:46:46 > 2:46:51Unquestionably, champions of World Cup Mexico 1970.
2:47:04 > 2:47:06Mama, how far is it to Munich?
2:47:06 > 2:47:07SHE GASPS
