Qualifying countries

The 1974 FIFA World Cup, the tenth staging of the World Cup, was held in West Germany from June 13 to July 7. West Germany was chosen as hosts by FIFA in July 1966. The tournament marked the first time that the current trophy, the FIFA World Cup Trophy, created by the Italian sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga, was awarded. The previous trophy, the Jules Rimet Trophy, was won for the third time by Brazil in 1970 and awarded permanently to the Brazilians. The host nation won the title beating Netherlands in the final, 2-1. The victory was the second for West Germany, who had won in 1954.

Summary

The format of the competition changed from 1970: 16 teams qualified, divided into four groups of four. The top two teams in each group advanced to the second round, where they split into two groups of four. The winners of each group played each other in the final, and the second place finishers in the third place match.

The first round saw a politically charged match as West and East Germany played each other in Hamburg - the only time the two ever met on the football field. The East won that match 1-0, but fell in the second round.

Eventually, West Germany and Netherlands made it to the final. West Germany was led by Franz Beckenbauer, while the Dutch had their star Johan Cruyff, and their Total Football system which had dazzled the competition. With just a minute gone on the clock, Cruijff was brought down in the German penalty area following a solo run, and the Dutch took the lead from the ensuing penalty by Johan Neeskens, before any of the German players had even touched the ball. However, West Germany managed to come back, tying the match on a penalty scored by Paul Breitner, and winning it with Gerd Müller's goal just before half-time. The two penalties were the first in a World Cup final.

Poland's Grzegorz Lato led the tournament in scoring seven goals, while Gerd Müller's goal in the final was his 14th in his World Cup career, which beat Just Fontaine's record of 13 (since surpassed by Ronaldo's 15 goals).

Trivia

  • The official mascots of this World Cup were Tip and Tap, two boys wearing West Germany uniforms.
  • The first player to be sent off with a red card in a World Cup match was Carlos Caszely of Chile in its match against West Germany. Red cards were formally introduced in World Cup play in 1970, but no players were sent off in that tournament.
