The tenth World Cup is over and West Germany, beating Holland 2-1, | 5:00:54 | 5:00:58 | |

Johan Cruyff, the natural heir to Pele, | 5:01:10 | 5:01:14 | |
lonely as a mountain wind. | 5:01:14 | 5:01:17 | |
Holland's captain, an original Dutch master, | 5:01:17 | 5:01:20 | |
he has tilted at windmills and lost. | 5:01:20 | 5:01:24 | |
It is etched on his face. | 5:01:25 | 5:01:27 | |

Winner take all. | 5:03:27 | 5:03:29 | |

Holland are yesterday's men. | 5:03:32 | 5:03:35 | |
A team with a great future behind it. | 5:03:35 | 5:03:37 | |

One job over... | 5:03:50 | 5:03:52 | |

From the media of the world, there's a waterfall of words. | 5:03:55 | 5:03:58 | |
Typewriters become woodpeckers chipping away at the truth. | 5:04:03 | 5:04:07 | |

Roll Out the Barrel and All the Fun of the Fair. | 5:05:14 | 5:05:16 | |
It's Germany's night | 5:05:18 | 5:05:20 | |
and there's many a tavern in the town. | 5:05:20 | 5:05:23 | |
CHEERING | 5:06:28 | 5:06:30 | |
It's a night for bread, love and dreams. | 5:06:32 | 5:06:35 | |
ALL CHANT: Deutschland! Deutschland! | 5:06:39 | 5:06:42 | |
Fountains of truth become the fountains of youth. | 5:06:49 | 5:06:53 | |
There's time for dancing in the street, too. | 5:06:54 | 5:06:57 | |

Sadly, there must always be a loser... | 5:07:02 | 5:07:05 | |
it's all in the game. | 5:07:05 | 5:07:08 | |
Having made the ball talk, the winner has the last word. | 5:07:11 | 5:07:15 | |
A time for reflection. | 5:07:19 | 5:07:21 | |
Only a short time ago, this Dutch dressing room | 5:07:25 | 5:07:28 | |
ached with the pain of defeat. | 5:07:28 | 5:07:30 | |
Now it's as quiet as the grave. | 5:07:30 | 5:07:33 | |
The sounds of silence. | 5:07:33 | 5:07:35 | |
The flying Dutchmen head for home in their big white bird. | 5:07:41 | 5:07:44 | |
Cruyff and his wife. | 5:07:47 | 5:07:48 | |
He flicks a speck from his eye. | 5:07:50 | 5:07:52 | |
Or is it a tear? | 5:07:52 | 5:07:54 | |
Others fondle their medals, not gold but silver in the stars. | 5:08:12 | 5:08:17 | |
The manager. | 5:08:27 | 5:08:29 | |
The party's over. | 5:08:29 | 5:08:31 | |
"They've pricked our pretty balloon and our moon has been taken away. | 5:08:31 | 5:08:35 | |
"Where did we go wrong?" | 5:08:36 | 5:08:38 | |
SIREN | 5:08:42 | 5:08:44 | |
Now the football story begins. | 5:08:54 | 5:08:56 | |
16 nations playing in nine German towns come to the starting line, | 5:08:56 | 5:09:00 | |
survivors from 90 original entries. | 5:09:00 | 5:09:03 | |
The establishment is here, minus England. | 5:09:03 | 5:09:06 | |
But in the field are outsiders East Germany, | 5:09:06 | 5:09:10 | |
blood brothers of the hosts from over the wall. | 5:09:10 | 5:09:12 | |
Australia, jolly swagmen. | 5:09:12 | 5:09:15 | |
Haiti from the land of Papa Doc and voodoo. | 5:09:15 | 5:09:19 | |
Zaire, leopards from the steaming Congo basin. | 5:09:19 | 5:09:22 | |
CHEERING | 5:09:24 | 5:09:26 | |
At last, the decks are cleared for action | 5:09:29 | 5:09:31 | |
as Holland take the field | 5:09:31 | 5:09:33 | |
to challenge Uruguay in their opening match. | 5:09:33 | 5:09:35 | |
CHEERING | 5:09:35 | 5:09:37 | |
It's hands across the sea. | 5:09:39 | 5:09:41 | |
The New World meets the old. | 5:09:41 | 5:09:43 | |
But Uruguay, twice world champions and semifinalists in Mexico in 1970, | 5:09:43 | 5:09:48 | |
have now mislaid their heritage. | 5:09:48 | 5:09:51 | |
South American football does not travel well. | 5:09:53 | 5:09:56 | |
Their artistry of old flies out of the window | 5:09:56 | 5:09:59 | |
as Cruyff, Holland's hope, is made a target for the chopper. | 5:09:59 | 5:10:02 | |
But Cruyff is gone with the wind - | 5:10:05 | 5:10:07 | |
he hurdles every scything tackle like an Olympic champion | 5:10:07 | 5:10:09 | |
and Uruguay pay the price. | 5:10:09 | 5:10:11 | |
Holland prove there is no substitute for skill. | 5:10:13 | 5:10:16 | |
In only seven minutes, Cruyff and Suurbier | 5:10:18 | 5:10:21 | |
set up a glancing header for Rep. | 5:10:21 | 5:10:23 | |
CHEERING | 5:10:23 | 5:10:24 | |
One up. | 5:10:24 | 5:10:26 | |
Early in the second half, Rep is there again for number two. | 5:10:41 | 5:10:44 | |
CHEERING | 5:10:44 | 5:10:46 | |
Uruguay, first world champions in 1930, are heading for the breadline. | 5:10:46 | 5:10:51 | |
Next, Holland meet Bulgaria. | 5:10:54 | 5:10:56 | |
WHISTLE | 5:10:58 | 5:11:00 | |
The Bulgarians chase shadows and concede two penalties. | 5:11:00 | 5:11:03 | |
CHEERING | 5:11:05 | 5:11:07 | |
Holland's football has a new dimension and urgency. | 5:11:21 | 5:11:24 | |
-Rep is there for number three. -CHEERING | 5:11:27 | 5:11:30 | |
Holland complete the rout with the best goal of all, | 5:11:37 | 5:11:40 | |
three minutes from the end. | 5:11:40 | 5:11:42 | |
De Jong's diving header glides in the centre from Cruyff, | 5:11:42 | 5:11:46 | |
threaded to the last inch. | 5:11:46 | 5:11:47 | |
That's it, 4-1. | 5:11:47 | 5:11:49 | |
-Exit Bulgaria. -CHEERING | 5:11:49 | 5:11:52 | |
So with a goalless draw against Sweden, | 5:11:52 | 5:11:54 | |
Holland are into the last eight. | 5:11:54 | 5:11:57 | |
CHEERING | 5:11:57 | 5:11:58 | |
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, | 5:12:03 | 5:12:04 | |
West Germany, reigning European champions, | 5:12:04 | 5:12:07 | |
open their account against Chile, | 5:12:07 | 5:12:09 | |
men from the high Andes and a royal hunt of the sun. | 5:12:09 | 5:12:12 | |
There is a full house of 80,000 in West Berlin's Olympic Stadium. | 5:12:14 | 5:12:18 | |
CHEERING | 5:12:18 | 5:12:19 | |
Chile, intent on survival, build a red fortress | 5:12:21 | 5:12:25 | |
of nine and ten defenders which is hard to breach. | 5:12:25 | 5:12:28 | |
Finally Breitner, of Afro hairstyle and left-wing opinion, | 5:12:31 | 5:12:35 | |
forces a German 1-0 victory with a sizzling 25-yard shot. | 5:12:35 | 5:12:39 | |
CHEERING | 5:12:39 | 5:12:41 | |
Next come Australia, supported by kangaroo and koala bear. | 5:12:43 | 5:12:47 | |
But there is nothing in their pouch beyond their spirit. | 5:12:50 | 5:12:53 | |
Overath puts the Germans ahead with an arrow to the top corner. | 5:12:55 | 5:12:58 | |
CHEERING | 5:12:58 | 5:12:59 | |
Cullmann, an early midfield choice but later dropped, | 5:13:05 | 5:13:08 | |
nods in number two from Hoeness before the interval. | 5:13:08 | 5:13:11 | |
CHEERING | 5:13:11 | 5:13:12 | |
Later, they make it 3-0. | 5:13:12 | 5:13:14 | |
Brave Australia are beaten but not disgraced. | 5:13:19 | 5:13:22 | |
And the West Germans leave the field | 5:13:23 | 5:13:25 | |
to the jeers of their arrogant supporters. | 5:13:25 | 5:13:28 | |
CROWD WHISTLES | 5:13:28 | 5:13:29 | |
This is the big one, West versus East Germany at Hamburg. | 5:13:31 | 5:13:36 | |
The first meeting of blood brothers separated by an ideological wall. | 5:13:36 | 5:13:41 | |
The West makes the running before a 60,000 crowd. | 5:13:41 | 5:13:44 | |
But the East gets the vital goal. | 5:13:47 | 5:13:49 | |
12 minutes from time, | 5:13:51 | 5:13:52 | |
Sparwasser glides past Vogts on the outside to score. | 5:13:52 | 5:13:55 | |
CHEERING | 5:13:55 | 5:13:57 | |
Maier reacts like a whipped animal on his goal line. | 5:14:02 | 5:14:05 | |
The signs are not encouraging. | 5:14:05 | 5:14:08 | |
Yet did West Germany, the overall favourites, | 5:14:08 | 5:14:10 | |
cleverly finesse the ace to avoid Holland in the last eight? | 5:14:10 | 5:14:14 | |
It's a valid question. | 5:14:14 | 5:14:16 | |
To Munich come colourful Haiti to put the finger on Italy, | 5:14:19 | 5:14:23 | |
world finalists of 1970. | 5:14:23 | 5:14:25 | |
They're a team with a dream from a tropical Caribbean setting. | 5:14:27 | 5:14:32 | |
It's David against Goliath. | 5:14:32 | 5:14:34 | |
A minute after the interval comes sensation - | 5:14:35 | 5:14:38 | |
with a quick break, Sanon puts little David ahead. | 5:14:38 | 5:14:41 | |
The first goal conceded by Italy in two years. | 5:14:41 | 5:14:44 | |
WILD CHEERING | 5:14:44 | 5:14:45 | |
Is this voodoo at work as they dance | 5:14:45 | 5:14:47 | |
for happiness, happiness all the way to happiness? | 5:14:47 | 5:14:50 | |
However, little David goes down. | 5:14:50 | 5:14:54 | |
But the supporters of the giants, | 5:14:54 | 5:14:56 | |
twice world champions, are not happy. | 5:14:56 | 5:14:58 | |
Mesmerised by their defensive record and little changed from 1970, | 5:15:01 | 5:15:05 | |
Italy now resemble a car badly in need of an engine change. | 5:15:05 | 5:15:08 | |
Their attack smothered and frustrated, | 5:15:10 | 5:15:12 | |
they lose 2-1 to fast-moving Poland and are out. | 5:15:12 | 5:15:16 | |
Discredited, they return home to the insults of their passionate fans. | 5:15:18 | 5:15:23 | |
As in 1966, the rotten tomato is their bouquet. | 5:15:23 | 5:15:27 | |
Scotland, full of native grit, open against the ebony leopards of Zaire. | 5:15:32 | 5:15:37 | |
They are the lone standard bearers of the British Isles. | 5:15:37 | 5:15:40 | |
CHEERING | 5:15:40 | 5:15:41 | |
They're stirred by the skirl of their pipers | 5:15:43 | 5:15:45 | |
and the wee deoch an doris of their noisy fans. | 5:15:45 | 5:15:47 | |
CHEERING | 5:15:47 | 5:15:49 | |
It is the redheaded Billy Bremner, their skipper, | 5:15:50 | 5:15:53 | |
who puts fire and metal in their heels. | 5:15:53 | 5:15:55 | |
An explosive volley by Lorimer to Jordan's headed pass | 5:16:05 | 5:16:08 | |
-puts Scotland ahead. -CHEERING | 5:16:08 | 5:16:10 | |
Then a header by Jordan, | 5:16:22 | 5:16:24 | |
as he beats the offside trap to Bremner's free kick, | 5:16:24 | 5:16:27 | |
makes it two up by half-time. | 5:16:27 | 5:16:29 | |
But there it stays until the end as chance after chance is wasted. | 5:16:30 | 5:16:34 | |
With succeeding draws against Brazil and Yugoslavia, | 5:16:36 | 5:16:39 | |
Scotland finally lose out on goal difference and go home. | 5:16:39 | 5:16:42 | |
Ironically, the only unbeaten side in the whole tournament. | 5:16:43 | 5:16:47 | |
If only they'd knocked more spots off the leopard at the start. | 5:16:48 | 5:16:52 | |
Dusseldorf sees a tough match between West Germany and Yugoslavia. | 5:16:57 | 5:17:01 | |
It's a battlefield with no love lost | 5:17:08 | 5:17:10 | |
and both sides motivated by a fear of defeat. | 5:17:10 | 5:17:13 | |
But again Brietner, as against Chile at the beginning, | 5:17:16 | 5:17:19 | |
breaks the deadlock for a 2-0 win | 5:17:19 | 5:17:21 | |
and the Germans, paced shrewdly by Beckenbauer, | 5:17:21 | 5:17:24 | |
move on to their journey's end. | 5:17:24 | 5:17:27 | |
CHEERING | 5:17:27 | 5:17:28 | |
But there's a shock on the way. | 5:17:28 | 5:17:31 | |
In driving wind and rain, | 5:17:31 | 5:17:32 | |
West Germany have the fright of their lives | 5:17:32 | 5:17:34 | |
against Sweden's part-timers. | 5:17:34 | 5:17:36 | |
Here is the most exciting match so far | 5:17:37 | 5:17:40 | |
as goals tumble out of the wet night. | 5:17:40 | 5:17:42 | |
Before half-time, Sweden go ahead | 5:17:43 | 5:17:45 | |
when the lanky Edstrom volleys home extravagantly. | 5:17:45 | 5:17:48 | |
Yet there is more to come. | 5:17:51 | 5:17:53 | |
The polka-dot ball becomes a dice as three more goals | 5:17:53 | 5:17:56 | |
are thrown up in as many minutes soon after the interval. | 5:17:56 | 5:17:59 | |
Overath puts Germany level. | 5:18:08 | 5:18:10 | |
CHEERING | 5:18:10 | 5:18:11 | |
Within seconds, it's 2-1 through Bonhof. | 5:18:18 | 5:18:20 | |
CHEERING | 5:18:20 | 5:18:22 | |
Hardly are the celebrations over | 5:18:28 | 5:18:30 | |
than Sandberg brings Sweden back to 2-2. | 5:18:30 | 5:18:33 | |
Three detached Swedish fans | 5:18:35 | 5:18:37 | |
live on crests of waves of excitement, oblivious of the storm. | 5:18:37 | 5:18:41 | |
But, with only 15 minutes left, | 5:18:42 | 5:18:44 | |
Helmut Schon, the wily fox, plays a tactical ace. | 5:18:44 | 5:18:48 | |
He substitutes both his wingers. | 5:18:48 | 5:18:50 | |
It pays off. Almost at once, the new man, Grabowski, scores | 5:18:51 | 5:18:55 | |
and West Germany are a step nearer the final. | 5:18:55 | 5:18:59 | |
They win 4-2. | 5:19:01 | 5:19:02 | |
But Schon has things on his mind at the end. | 5:19:04 | 5:19:07 | |
He turns up his collar and bends his tall frame | 5:19:07 | 5:19:09 | |
thoughtfully into the storm. | 5:19:09 | 5:19:11 | |
THUNDER | 5:19:15 | 5:19:17 | |
The elements take a hand as West Germany face Poland. | 5:19:17 | 5:19:20 | |
To Wagnerian overtones, | 5:19:21 | 5:19:24 | |
crashing thunder and lightning fork the black heavens. | 5:19:24 | 5:19:27 | |
This is the twilight of the gods. | 5:19:28 | 5:19:30 | |
Fire engines and squeegee rollers bail out manfully | 5:19:32 | 5:19:35 | |
to save a virtual semifinal. | 5:19:35 | 5:19:38 | |
Poland, conquerors of England, | 5:19:41 | 5:19:43 | |
winners of every match in Germany | 5:19:43 | 5:19:44 | |
and surprise package of the tournament | 5:19:44 | 5:19:46 | |
must win outright to reach the final. | 5:19:46 | 5:19:49 | |
Because of goal difference, the Germans need only a draw. | 5:19:49 | 5:19:53 | |
The storm passes... | 5:19:54 | 5:19:56 | |
and the sun comes out. | 5:19:56 | 5:19:58 | |
So do the players, half an hour late. | 5:19:58 | 5:20:01 | |
CHEERING | 5:20:01 | 5:20:03 | |
But the conditions are bizarre. | 5:20:09 | 5:20:11 | |
The going tells mostly against Poland. | 5:20:11 | 5:20:14 | |
Their fast, old-fashioned wingers, Lato and Gadocha, | 5:20:14 | 5:20:18 | |
find their speed cut on the flanks | 5:20:18 | 5:20:20 | |
as the ball is held back in sheets of spray. | 5:20:20 | 5:20:22 | |
WHISTLE | 5:20:27 | 5:20:29 | |
Then comes a short breather. | 5:20:29 | 5:20:31 | |
A minute's silence for the passing of Argentina's President Peron. | 5:20:31 | 5:20:36 | |
Even the left wing is silent for the right. | 5:20:36 | 5:20:38 | |
WHISTLE | 5:20:38 | 5:20:39 | |
Poland dictate the first half but miss the odd half chance. | 5:20:41 | 5:20:45 | |
Seven minutes into the second half, Zmuda brings down Holzenbein | 5:20:51 | 5:20:55 | |
and it's a penalty for Germany, no argument. | 5:20:55 | 5:20:58 | |
CHEERING | 5:20:58 | 5:21:00 | |
Tomaszewski, the Polish goalkeeper, | 5:21:12 | 5:21:14 | |
saves his second penalty of the World Cup. | 5:21:14 | 5:21:17 | |
He guesses right, dives right | 5:21:17 | 5:21:19 | |
and denies Hoeness from the spot. | 5:21:19 | 5:21:21 | |
With quarter of an hour left, however, | 5:21:33 | 5:21:35 | |
Bonhof slips through a diagonal pass and the sturdy Muller | 5:21:35 | 5:21:39 | |
threads the needle with a low cross shot inside the far post. | 5:21:39 | 5:21:43 | |
CHEERING | 5:21:43 | 5:21:44 | |
That's all the Little Bomber needs, a half sight of the bull's-eye. | 5:21:44 | 5:21:48 | |
But the Poles die with their boots on. | 5:21:51 | 5:21:54 | |
In the fading minutes, | 5:21:54 | 5:21:55 | |
Deyna, their captain, forces a dazzling save from Maier. | 5:21:55 | 5:21:58 | |
Maier earns a hug of relief from his skipper, Beckenbauer. | 5:22:00 | 5:22:03 | |
Deyna wears a haunted, hunted look. | 5:22:06 | 5:22:08 | |
Maier riles against his defenders in a tense finish. | 5:22:15 | 5:22:18 | |
So West Germany become the sixth host nation in history | 5:22:24 | 5:22:28 | |
-to reach a World Cup Final. -CHEERING | 5:22:28 | 5:22:30 | |
Meanwhile, turning back the calendar, Holland, | 5:22:38 | 5:22:41 | |
the exciting new entertainers, face the Argentinians. | 5:22:41 | 5:22:44 | |
The South Americans, seeking friendship, | 5:22:44 | 5:22:47 | |
have mounted a major public relations campaign. | 5:22:47 | 5:22:50 | |
Behaving impeccably, they have swapped violence | 5:22:50 | 5:22:53 | |
and white passion for native technique. | 5:22:53 | 5:22:56 | |
But they cannot master the Dutch. | 5:22:56 | 5:22:58 | |
Nor a second-half cloudburst. | 5:22:58 | 5:23:00 | |
They sink without trace in a raging torrent. | 5:23:00 | 5:23:03 | |
In ten minutes, Cruyff, the ballet master, | 5:23:08 | 5:23:11 | |
dances through for Holland's first goal. | 5:23:11 | 5:23:13 | |
Krol, from full-back, bangs in number two. | 5:23:24 | 5:23:26 | |
THUNDER ROLLS | 5:23:54 | 5:23:56 | |
Then, the heavens open. | 5:23:58 | 5:23:59 | |
Cruyff, his hair plastered by the deluge, | 5:24:01 | 5:24:03 | |
rides the waves like a sea sprite. | 5:24:03 | 5:24:05 | |
In the last quarter-hour, | 5:24:09 | 5:24:11 | |
Rep scores with a flying header to Cruyff's centre. | 5:24:11 | 5:24:14 | |
CHEERING | 5:24:14 | 5:24:17 | |
Cruyff crowns a 4-0 triumph. | 5:24:20 | 5:24:22 | |
CHEERING | 5:24:22 | 5:24:25 | |
The last dice of a losing riverboat gambler, | 5:24:33 | 5:24:36 | |
Squeo throws down the polka-dot ball. | 5:24:36 | 5:24:39 | |
It is symbolic. | 5:24:39 | 5:24:40 | |
Now Holland are one stride from the final. | 5:24:42 | 5:24:45 | |
As Brazil, the holders, the ebony champions, | 5:24:45 | 5:24:47 | |
come out to protect their crown. | 5:24:47 | 5:24:49 | |
At once, Leao, Brazil's goalkeeper, dives away a snap shot from Cruyff. | 5:24:52 | 5:24:57 | |
At the other end, Jongbloed is all flailing arms, legs and shut eyes. | 5:25:10 | 5:25:14 | |
A blind windmill caught in a high wind. | 5:25:14 | 5:25:16 | |
Brazil's jagged nerve ends are showing in frustration. | 5:25:19 | 5:25:23 | |
Bushfires of anger have begun to spurt. | 5:25:25 | 5:25:27 | |
At last, Holland take the lead deservedly. | 5:25:30 | 5:25:33 | |
Neeskens, at full stretch from Cruyff, tips it home. | 5:25:33 | 5:25:36 | |
Brazil, their crown toppling, now unsheathe the broadsword. | 5:25:43 | 5:25:47 | |
Behind the referee's back, | 5:26:02 | 5:26:04 | |
Valdomiro's sly kick fells a Dutchman. | 5:26:04 | 5:26:07 | |
Rivellino, twice bodily obstructed, plays Sir Henry Irving, | 5:26:21 | 5:26:24 | |
the outraged actor. | 5:26:24 | 5:26:25 | |
Cruyff, dodging a flick to his face, inquires of the referee's eyesight. | 5:26:29 | 5:26:33 | |
"What's it all about, Alfie?" | 5:26:33 | 5:26:35 | |
But the Dutch themselves are not all light and innocence. | 5:26:39 | 5:26:43 | |
Cruyff now wraps the match around his little finger | 5:26:44 | 5:26:46 | |
with a brilliant volley for goal number two. | 5:26:46 | 5:26:49 | |
CHEERING | 5:26:49 | 5:26:50 | |
The dagger is in Brazil's ribs and they know it. | 5:26:50 | 5:26:53 | |
Too late, Pereira revives nostalgic echoes of Brazil's past majesty | 5:27:03 | 5:27:07 | |
with a long, loping run from the back. | 5:27:07 | 5:27:10 | |
SPECTATORS SHOUT | 5:27:14 | 5:27:16 | |
Francisco Marinho, the blond, also attacks from the rear | 5:27:27 | 5:27:31 | |
to put the fumbling Jongbloed all at sea once more. | 5:27:31 | 5:27:34 | |
Neeskens is cruelly cut down. | 5:27:42 | 5:27:44 | |
Pereira is given his marching orders. | 5:27:55 | 5:27:57 | |
For Zagallo, the manager, arms outstretched in protest, | 5:28:05 | 5:28:09 | |
it is oblivion. | 5:28:09 | 5:28:10 | |
For Brazil, once the harbingers of spring, | 5:28:16 | 5:28:19 | |
it is darkness. | 5:28:19 | 5:28:21 | |
Their attack was as blank as unwritten paper. | 5:28:23 | 5:28:27 | |
Their tackling raw as uncooked meat. | 5:28:28 | 5:28:31 | |
To an ugly symphony of boos and clenched fists, | 5:28:32 | 5:28:35 | |
Brazil have lost their throne and Pereira his dignity. | 5:28:35 | 5:28:39 | |
CROWD CHANTS | 5:28:40 | 5:28:45 | |
CROWD BOOING | 5:28:48 | 5:28:50 | |
Cruyff leaves happy, a job well done. | 5:28:56 | 5:28:59 | |
A Dutch supporter pays homage to the good earth | 5:29:01 | 5:29:04 | |
or to Allah. | 5:29:04 | 5:29:05 | |
Jongbloed dances round his goal area in ecstasy. | 5:29:07 | 5:29:10 | |
Holland are in their first final. | 5:29:11 | 5:29:14 | |
The rising sun touches a new day. | 5:29:19 | 5:29:22 | |
It is the dawn of the final. | 5:29:26 | 5:29:27 | |
Der Tag. | 5:29:29 | 5:29:31 | |
Munich's Olympic Stadium is silent under its strange roof. | 5:29:38 | 5:29:42 | |
A mosquito net where soon the gnats of fate will sting. | 5:29:43 | 5:29:46 | |
A lullaby of bird land. | 5:30:07 | 5:30:09 | |
The city stirs, stretches and comes to life. | 5:30:17 | 5:30:21 | |
The stadium gets its final spit and polish. | 5:31:13 | 5:31:16 | |
The changing rooms are a surgery... | 5:31:24 | 5:31:26 | |
..awaiting the operation. | 5:31:27 | 5:31:29 | |
Impersonal, matter-of-fact. | 5:31:43 | 5:31:46 | |
Match 38, the final, | 5:31:46 | 5:31:49 | |
is allocated to referee Jack Taylor. | 5:31:49 | 5:31:52 | |
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, will I be the fairest to them all? | 5:31:53 | 5:31:57 | |
"Or, watched by 1,000 million critics around the globe, | 5:31:59 | 5:32:02 | |
"will this necktie become my noose?" | 5:32:02 | 5:32:04 | |
Ken Aston, the FIFA referee commissar, | 5:32:14 | 5:32:16 | |
with the chosen officials. | 5:32:16 | 5:32:18 | |
The condemned men eat a hearty breakfast. | 5:32:19 | 5:32:21 | |
Englishman Taylor, with his Uruguayan and Mexican linesmen... | 5:32:22 | 5:32:25 | |
..do they discuss the weather? | 5:32:26 | 5:32:28 | |
Gardening? | 5:32:28 | 5:32:30 | |
Women? | 5:32:30 | 5:32:31 | |
Or only football? | 5:32:31 | 5:32:32 | |
Floral decorations become a buttonhole for the party. | 5:32:57 | 5:32:59 | |
OVER TANNOY: 'Die Deutsche Bundesbahn...' | 5:33:14 | 5:33:16 | |
The circus comes to town, early. | 5:33:16 | 5:33:19 | |
BAND STRIKES UP | 5:33:19 | 5:33:21 | |
With klaxons, horns and pipes of Pan, the Dutch pour in, | 5:33:46 | 5:33:49 | |
high-spirited and confident. | 5:33:49 | 5:33:51 | |
For one of them, at least, time will weigh heavy by nightfall. | 5:33:56 | 5:33:59 | |
For Sir Stanley Rous, Mr World Football himself, | 5:34:02 | 5:34:05 | |
and Dr Kaser, FIFA secretary-general, | 5:34:05 | 5:34:08 | |
so much still to do, so little time. | 5:34:08 | 5:34:11 | |
Never before has security been so thorough... | 5:34:13 | 5:34:16 | |
..or so necessary. | 5:34:18 | 5:34:19 | |
No stone is left unturned. | 5:34:25 | 5:34:27 | |
A search with a toothcomb. | 5:34:29 | 5:34:31 | |
Sir Stanley en route to the airport | 5:34:47 | 5:34:49 | |
to meet Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. | 5:34:49 | 5:34:51 | |
This is Sir Stanley's last day in office | 5:34:58 | 5:35:00 | |
after 13 years as president of FIFA. | 5:35:00 | 5:35:02 | |
Lunch for the VIPs. | 5:35:21 | 5:35:23 | |
Candelabra and gold plate in a stately Munich palace. | 5:35:26 | 5:35:30 | |
Protocol and subdued voices inside. | 5:35:32 | 5:35:35 | |
Outside... | 5:35:36 | 5:35:38 | |
frankfurters, sauerkraut and beer, | 5:35:38 | 5:35:41 | |
a raucous feast under the skies for lords of the earth. | 5:35:41 | 5:35:44 | |
Deux bieres! | 5:35:50 | 5:35:52 | |
# Immer wieder kommen sie heruber, oh-oh! # | 5:36:05 | 5:36:09 | |
The referee and linesmen depart for the stadium. | 5:36:23 | 5:36:26 | |
What are their thoughts? | 5:36:26 | 5:36:28 | |
The Germans, casually attired, board their coach. | 5:36:32 | 5:36:35 | |
What are THEIR thoughts? | 5:36:35 | 5:36:37 | |
The Dutch, formal in dark blazers and grey flannels, | 5:36:43 | 5:36:45 | |
go to face the future. | 5:36:45 | 5:36:48 | |
What are THEIR thoughts? | 5:36:48 | 5:36:49 | |
There are many roads to Parnassus. | 5:36:59 | 5:37:01 | |
Here's a Mexican hat on parade. | 5:37:04 | 5:37:06 | |
Is it four years late or early? | 5:37:06 | 5:37:08 | |
Maximum security to the last. | 5:37:11 | 5:37:13 | |
Up above, now below, downtown, a secret address. | 5:37:24 | 5:37:29 | |
Separate keys in separate hands, the two halves of a puzzle... | 5:37:52 | 5:37:57 | |
..unlock a tomb. | 5:37:58 | 5:38:00 | |
The cup. | 5:38:05 | 5:38:07 | |
A new golden figure of Italian craftsmanship | 5:38:08 | 5:38:11 | |
is collected from its vaults. | 5:38:11 | 5:38:13 | |
Heavily guarded, the lady is undressed. | 5:38:13 | 5:38:16 | |
JB Priestley once wrote... | 5:38:19 | 5:38:21 | |
"To say that people pay money merely to see 22 hirelings kick a ball | 5:38:21 | 5:38:25 | |
"is merely to say that a violin is made of wood and catgut." | 5:38:25 | 5:38:28 | |
In contrast, George Orwell wrote that sport at international level is | 5:38:28 | 5:38:32 | |
"frankly, mimic warfare". | 5:38:32 | 5:38:35 | |
Whoever was right, that's what the World Cup's all about. | 5:38:35 | 5:38:38 | |

a giant commercial bonanza. | 5:43:16 | 5:43:18 | |
Football, for the moment, becomes second. | 5:43:20 | 5:43:23 | |

Mr President, Your Royal Highnesses, | 5:45:26 | 5:45:29 | |
Your Exellencies and sports friends... | 5:45:29 | 5:45:32 | |
..at the opening ceremony, | 5:45:34 | 5:45:36 | |
as president of the FIFA World Cup organising committee... | 5:45:36 | 5:45:41 | |
I thank the DFB for all the preparations they have made | 5:45:41 | 5:45:45 | |
for this festival of football | 5:45:45 | 5:45:48 | |
and for the reception of visitors from other countries. | 5:45:48 | 5:45:51 | |
Now we meet... | 5:45:52 | 5:45:54 | |
on the occasion of the final match | 5:45:54 | 5:45:57 | |
and soon will say farewell. | 5:45:57 | 5:45:59 | |
But the memory of our stay in your country, Mr President, | 5:46:01 | 5:46:04 | |
will long remain. | 5:46:04 | 5:46:05 | |
In parting... | 5:46:07 | 5:46:09 | |
I can sincerely say that we have been happy to meet and make friends. | 5:46:09 | 5:46:15 | |
We shall be sorry to leave, but many of us, I hope, will meet again | 5:46:15 | 5:46:20 | |
in the next World Cup, in the Argentinia in 1978. | 5:46:20 | 5:46:26 | |
Once more, thank you all. | 5:46:27 | 5:46:29 | |

A last word from Schon. | 5:48:36 | 5:48:38 | |
There's an unexpected hold-up. | 5:48:49 | 5:48:51 | |
The touchline flags have been forgotten. | 5:48:56 | 5:48:58 | |

Holland kick off and set the dice rolling arrogantly. | 5:49:30 | 5:49:34 | |
They tease the foe with a necklace of passes at walking pace. | 5:49:34 | 5:49:37 | |
At the 15th touch, Cruyff teases Vogts, Germany's number 2. | 5:50:12 | 5:50:16 | |
Leaving his man, Cruyff is through the defence like a sniper. | 5:50:16 | 5:50:19 | |

without having touched the ball, | 5:51:12 | 5:51:14 | |
the most sensational opening ever to a World Cup final. | 5:51:14 | 5:51:17 | |

WHISTLE BLOWS | 5:51:45 | 5:51:47 | |
Holland, once a land regarded as flat and uninteresting, | 5:51:51 | 5:51:55 | |
has become a home for the avant-garde. | 5:51:55 | 5:51:57 | |
Now it's reflected in the play of their free-thinking players. | 5:51:59 | 5:52:03 | |
Their game is a whirl of positional change. | 5:52:03 | 5:52:05 | |
As the play develops, | 5:52:16 | 5:52:18 | |
Germany unveil the shape of their skilful W-M pattern. | 5:52:18 | 5:52:22 | |
Compared with the enemy, it is formal. | 5:52:22 | 5:52:24 | |
Vogts, number 2, blond and tigerish, has a key role. | 5:52:27 | 5:52:30 | |
Scorning zonal defence, | 5:52:35 | 5:52:37 | |
Germany set him on Cruyff's heels as permanent watchdog. | 5:52:37 | 5:52:41 | |
He plays his part superbly, | 5:52:41 | 5:52:42 | |
screening Cruyff from the danger areas. | 5:52:42 | 5:52:45 | |
The director-general is Franz Beckenbauer, number 5, | 5:53:01 | 5:53:04 | |
captain and sweeper. | 5:53:04 | 5:53:06 | |
He's the finger post, pointing the way, | 5:53:06 | 5:53:08 | |
unhurried as a man strolling down the boulevard for an aperitif. | 5:53:08 | 5:53:11 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 5:53:33 | 5:53:35 | |
Number 13 is Muller, centre forward, | 5:54:02 | 5:54:04 | |
aggressive, always at a defence like a terrier worrying a bone. | 5:54:04 | 5:54:08 | |
He's Deadeye Dick, the snapper of half-chances, a match winner. | 5:54:12 | 5:54:16 | |
Superstitious opponents should beware of that 13. | 5:54:18 | 5:54:20 | |
Breitner, number 3, in theory is the left back. | 5:54:31 | 5:54:35 | |
But he's the ranger, turning up like fine dust in unexpected places, | 5:54:35 | 5:54:39 | |
defending AND attacking. | 5:54:39 | 5:54:41 | |
With 25 minutes gone, Germany are on the mend | 5:54:56 | 5:54:59 | |
and putting their game together. | 5:54:59 | 5:55:00 | |
Breitner, attacking, is down. | 5:55:01 | 5:55:03 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 5:55:04 | 5:55:06 | |
The Dutch build their defensive dyke. | 5:55:15 | 5:55:18 | |
They resemble anxious seagulls on the harbour wall. | 5:55:24 | 5:55:27 | |
Jongbloed dives away the free kick. | 5:55:31 | 5:55:33 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 5:56:01 | 5:56:03 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 5:56:20 | 5:56:23 | |
Muller cripples the blond Rijsbergen. | 5:56:23 | 5:56:25 | |
Van Hanegem, in retaliation, floors Muller behind the referee's back. | 5:56:33 | 5:56:37 | |
Aggro and protest flare. | 5:56:40 | 5:56:42 | |
Taylor consults his linesman. | 5:56:54 | 5:56:56 | |
Time stands still. | 5:57:04 | 5:57:06 | |
Van Hanegem is booked, and the kettle's on the boil. | 5:57:30 | 5:57:33 | |
Attack has begun to swing to and fro like a pendulum. | 5:58:33 | 5:58:36 | |
Clever Dutch approach work | 5:58:41 | 5:58:42 | |
sees Neeskens beat Bonhof to the right by-line. | 5:58:42 | 5:58:46 | |
But Beckenbauer cuts out the centre and feeds the stylish Overath, | 5:58:46 | 5:58:50 | |
who takes a compass reading. | 5:58:50 | 5:58:51 | |
A beautiful long pass finds Holzenbein moving down the flank. | 5:58:55 | 5:58:59 | |
The winger takes on the Dutch defence. | 5:59:02 | 5:59:04 | |
Jansen's lunging tackle brings him down, | 5:59:06 | 5:59:08 | |
and Taylor gives his second penalty. | 5:59:08 | 5:59:10 | |
Breitner calmly strokes it home. | 5:59:47 | 5:59:50 | |
'Niederlande - Bundesrepublik Deutschland 1-1. | 6:00:19 | 6:00:25 | |
'Torschutzer Breitner.' | 6:00:26 | 6:00:28 | |
And at the half-hour, Germany are level, 1-1. | 6:00:28 | 6:00:31 | |
They're out of the dark hole of their beginning. | 6:00:33 | 6:00:36 | |
The Dutch manager is impassive. | 6:00:48 | 6:00:50 | |
But what fires are burning inside? | 6:00:51 | 6:00:53 | |
The make-up of the Dutch wives has begun to run. | 6:01:14 | 6:01:16 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:01:20 | 6:01:21 | |
It's cut and thrust now. | 6:02:00 | 6:02:01 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:02:01 | 6:02:02 | |
Breitner is eager. | 6:02:02 | 6:02:04 | |
But Beckenbauer takes over imperiously. | 6:02:05 | 6:02:07 | |
Cruyff leapfrogs Maier and taps him sportingly. | 6:02:35 | 6:02:38 | |
A quick German thrust puts Vogts clean through. | 6:02:54 | 6:02:57 | |
It's odds-on a goal. | 6:02:57 | 6:02:59 | |
But Jongbloed dives brilliantly. | 6:02:59 | 6:03:01 | |
The heart of the battle is still Cruyff versus Vogts | 6:04:05 | 6:04:08 | |
as the substance is felled painfully by the shadow. | 6:04:08 | 6:04:11 | |
A fleeting apology. | 6:04:15 | 6:04:17 | |
A brilliant dribble by Grabowski down the German right | 6:04:54 | 6:04:57 | |
produces a thumbnail sketch of Stanley Matthews of old. | 6:04:57 | 6:05:00 | |
Cruyff - is the Brazilian battle taking its toll? | 6:05:09 | 6:05:12 | |
Next, Grabowski is fouled. | 6:05:56 | 6:05:58 | |
Beckenbauer, with a delicate chip, nearly surprises Jongbloed. | 6:06:23 | 6:06:27 | |
With seven minutes left to the interval, Cruyff slips his shadow. | 6:07:03 | 6:07:06 | |
Beckenbauer is buying time. Rep is on Cruyff's left. | 6:07:06 | 6:07:10 | |
Rep shoots. Maier rescues Germany. | 6:07:10 | 6:07:12 | |
Now Germany begin to uncoil their spring. | 6:07:32 | 6:07:34 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:07:50 | 6:07:52 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:08:29 | 6:08:31 | |
Neeskens is booked for a tackle on Holzenbein. | 6:08:41 | 6:08:44 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:08:57 | 6:08:59 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:09:14 | 6:09:16 | |
A major turning point has come and gone. | 6:09:23 | 6:09:25 | |
That save by Maier from Rep was the key. | 6:09:26 | 6:09:29 | |
Within three minutes of it, Maier, the hero, | 6:09:37 | 6:09:39 | |
throws the ball out to Grabowski. | 6:09:39 | 6:09:41 | |
Bonhof, running for a forward pass, | 6:09:55 | 6:09:57 | |
streaks to the by-line, pulls back the ball, | 6:09:57 | 6:10:00 | |
and Muller, on the half-turn, scores inside the far post. | 6:10:00 | 6:10:03 | |
He leaps for joy like a grasshopper. | 6:10:06 | 6:10:08 | |
Number 13 has done it again. | 6:10:08 | 6:10:10 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:10:58 | 6:11:00 | |
Now comes more drama. | 6:11:09 | 6:11:11 | |
Van Hanegem, in ill temper, | 6:11:14 | 6:11:16 | |
throws the ball at the referee as they leave the field. | 6:11:16 | 6:11:19 | |
Cruyff becomes involved, and the heat is on. | 6:11:19 | 6:11:22 | |
He argues and continues to argue. | 6:11:33 | 6:11:35 | |
The cauldron boils over. | 6:11:50 | 6:11:51 | |
He's booked. | 6:11:56 | 6:11:57 | |
Cruyff for once has lacked responsibility. | 6:12:01 | 6:12:04 | |
Germany is happy. | 6:12:27 | 6:12:29 | |
But guess who's got something on his mind. | 6:12:42 | 6:12:45 | |
The Dutch master returns, but in what frame of mind? | 6:13:11 | 6:13:15 | |
Taylor is still the boss. | 6:13:18 | 6:13:20 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:13:33 | 6:13:34 | |
Grabowski again raises an echo of Stanley Matthews. | 6:13:55 | 6:13:58 | |
Cruyff's face provides a gallery of changing expressions. | 6:14:19 | 6:14:23 | |
Holland are pressurising Germany. | 6:14:53 | 6:14:55 | |
Maier diving, Cruyff stretching, collide. | 6:15:25 | 6:15:28 | |
The goalie writhes painfully. | 6:15:28 | 6:15:30 | |
Cruyff is spoken to sternly. | 6:15:54 | 6:15:56 | |
Cruyff remembers. | 6:16:00 | 6:16:01 | |
But it WAS a 50-50 ball. | 6:16:06 | 6:16:08 | |
A corner sees Maier miscue from Rep, | 6:16:55 | 6:16:58 | |
and the alert Breitner is under the bar to head out. | 6:16:58 | 6:17:00 | |
Danger trembles as Holland tighten the screw. | 6:17:02 | 6:17:05 | |
A dewdrop catches the sunlight. | 6:17:08 | 6:17:10 | |
The perspiration of battle. | 6:17:11 | 6:17:13 | |
Still Holland search for the equaliser. | 6:17:49 | 6:17:51 | |
Van Hanegem's header stretches Maier. | 6:17:51 | 6:17:53 | |
Schon's eyes have a faraway look. | 6:18:00 | 6:18:02 | |
Grabowski centres... | 6:18:45 | 6:18:47 | |
..and Muller's shot is disallowed. | 6:18:49 | 6:18:51 | |
Was he really offside? | 6:18:51 | 6:18:54 | |
Watch it again in deep freeze and judge for yourself. | 6:18:54 | 6:18:58 | |
The crash of limbs. | 6:19:30 | 6:19:31 | |
It is a match of gleaming steel. | 6:19:40 | 6:19:42 | |
Germany are back on the ropes, holding on for life. | 6:19:44 | 6:19:47 | |
The ball is crossed from the left, and Neeskens volleys. | 6:20:15 | 6:20:18 | |
Again, Maier saves instinctively. | 6:20:18 | 6:20:20 | |
"Are we playing the gods as well?" | 6:20:23 | 6:20:25 | |
Cruyff's expression says it all, | 6:20:25 | 6:20:27 | |
as Beckenbauer applauds his goalkeeper. | 6:20:27 | 6:20:29 | |
Holland strain for those last few yards to conquer Everest. | 6:21:43 | 6:21:46 | |
Their options are running out. | 6:21:49 | 6:21:51 | |
So is time, as Neeskens shoots just past the far post. | 6:21:55 | 6:21:59 | |
The agony of it! | 6:22:02 | 6:22:03 | |
Cruyff cannot cut free from Vogts, the destiny of Siamese twins. | 6:22:06 | 6:22:11 | |
Neeskens becomes Holland's spearhead. | 6:22:19 | 6:22:21 | |
Time is woven thin, and the candle gutters. | 6:22:27 | 6:22:30 | |
For Germany, every second has become an eternity. | 6:22:30 | 6:22:33 | |
For Holland... | 6:22:34 | 6:22:35 | |
every second is a grain of sand slipping through their fingers. | 6:22:35 | 6:22:39 | |
Neeskens and Maier contest a high ball. | 6:23:02 | 6:23:04 | |
There are sparks.... | 6:23:12 | 6:23:14 | |
..and a fatherly lecture. | 6:23:15 | 6:23:16 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:23:32 | 6:23:33 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:24:06 | 6:24:08 | |
The tension is at bursting point. | 6:24:16 | 6:24:18 | |
Even the referee feels it. | 6:24:20 | 6:24:22 | |
Holland, throwing all caution to the winds, leave their rear unguarded. | 6:24:55 | 6:24:59 | |
Holzenbein, in a quick German counter, is felled desperately. | 6:25:04 | 6:25:07 | |
No penalty this time. | 6:25:07 | 6:25:09 | |
The Germans have come through a minefield over the last stages. | 6:25:27 | 6:25:30 | |
There is anxiety in their camp. | 6:26:01 | 6:26:03 | |
But Beckenbauer surveys his empire calmly. | 6:26:06 | 6:26:09 | |
CROWD WHISTLES | 6:26:11 | 6:26:13 | |
Jack Taylor shows his iron fist to the end. | 6:26:38 | 6:26:41 | |
An orange sun dies bravely from the day. | 6:26:53 | 6:26:55 | |
Germany and history have won. | 6:26:58 | 6:27:01 | |
It's all over. | 6:27:01 | 6:27:02 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 6:27:02 | 6:27:04 |
