BECKEMBAUER n°1

RIVERA great

ITALIA great

Italia-Brasile 70 was the final of the century, for the Rimet award (Italia 34, 38 - Brasile 58, 62)

@stadioazteca Plus, Beckenbauer played most of the game with his arm strapped to his chest, because he dislocated his shoulder. So it's hard to feel too sorry for Italy, all things considered. It was an immortal game.

With regard to the poster's comment about naming games with as much incredible action "but you can't", I would respectfully suggest West Germany v France in Spain 1982, which finished 3-3, saw the Germans recover from 3-1, had a penalty shoot-out, and featured the greatest refereeing injustice ever - an absolutely vicious assault by Schumacher on Battiston which left him unconscious minus at least 2 teeth and yet went unpunished. Now THAT was an action-packed game too.

[stadioazteca]

Cera's foul was just outside the box, definitely...press pause when contact is made and you will see...but Germany had a legitimate claim for a penalty when Bertini pulled down Seeler

[samuraiyemo]

Look again carefully. That was definitely inside the box, and thus a penalty.
