Oh...it's good hear Johan Cruyff commenting the game but I wish he were there...He would have lead Netherlands to win.

[Resenbrink]

'74 team was brillant - '78 team was beginning to show its age but was still great. 1998 World Cup team was bloody good as well.

@lakshman4u I would not say they really deserved to win as I can also the Dutch as being deserved winners yet Argentina did have certain unfair advantages which today would not be permited.They got to play against Peru after Brazil had already played against Poland,knowing by how many goals they needed to win.Today both these games would have been played at the same time and I am not even talkiing about rumors of brivery against Peru which has never been proven yet never disproven either.

@truvianni It was a very good WC as far as i can see it both i terms of football and organisation. A perfect final for two best teams at that time. Though we missed Cruyff, Argentina really deserved that WC. They played scintillating football throughout the tournament.

[truvianni]

@lakshman4u they did not say it was badly organized, on the contrary they said it was well organized with the exeption of the delay at the start of the final.

[truvianni]

this was the first final I ever saw and since Italy was not playing I really did not care who won but I must say it was an interesting final if nothing else.

[AldoAlonso89]

este mundial fue una mafia organizada!!

ESPANTOSO "mundial"

[hanzzz2303]

Bloody cheats, they are...

[gtbtlz]

"DER KAFEE DER WELTMEISTERSCHAFT 1ST DER KAFFEE AUS BRASILIEN"...What is that?

[hernanra021]

@Noid111 England never won anything, the 1966 was the worst cup ever, england bought all the referees and cheat in every games, then in the final with germany, the ball never got throgh, Germany was so much better team that the mediocres players of england. They are and they always be a shity team, they will never win a World Cup outside england like Brasil, Argentina, Germany or italy

[Noid111]

@hernanra021 to you and the other retard permit me to remind you of this. 1990 they disgraced themselves. 1986 they cheated. 1978 they paid off Peru. At the 78 world cup the dumb fucks were cheering on the junta's team while their kids were being thrown out of helicopters in the river plate. Did you honestly think we would abandon the Falkland Islanders to disgusting, greasy, inbred people like that? Never gonna happen.

[hernanra021]

@Noid111 Egland always was a shity team, they only won a world cup once, in their home, and they cheat because the ball didn´t got through.

Argentina had 4 finals, and in 1986 they were by far the best team. England had a mediocre team in 1986, they only beated Paraguay.
