Can anybody tell me the names of these players? I only know that this is the Argentinean team in the 1930 World Cup against Mexico. I can identify the goalkeeper Bossio and the stricker Stabile.
Thanks.

I have this great picture in a book I own called world cup stories. It is from a viewpoint just behind the Uruguayan keeper just after Sandor Kocsis scored his second goal in extra time in the 1954 world cup. The way Kocsis celebrates makes it seem like a very iconic photo to me. Especially when you think about what happened next game. I can't find it anywhere on the net though.

Not old at all, but very memorable.

WOW! What a great photo! I must confess, I've never seen it before, please provide details. WOW! (And, is that Baresi in the background?...I know that he's considered an immortal, but I thought that was merely a figure of speech!) :D

Ahaha, although Baresi is probably the last highlander, it's not him! :D

Anyway, this is one of the most famous bycicle kick photos taken in Italy (if not the most famous), the player was Carlo Parola and that pic has been taken during Fiorentina-Juventus (15 jan 1950). Why is it so famous?
Because Calciatori (football sticker album) has used that image for its covers in various years... becoming a little "symbol" of THE sticker album.

Actually, quite well done. Thanks.

Hmmmmmm. I reckon that the following sides would have beaten them if not playing in the blazing sun. England in 1970 (almost did if it wasn't for Jeff "club foot" Astle), Holland from 1974, Real Madrid in the era of Gento, Puskas, Di Stefo etc. I also reckon that there were a few German national sides that would have beaten them, plus the Brazil side of Socrates, Falcao etc.

I think Germany 1970 - which Gerdi rates as the best one ever could have done it too. And 1972 which is probably the best one ever. 1974 as well but it's the weakest out of the 3 thanks to off-field problems, but most optimal age-wise (in 1972 they were only 23 years old on average).

Definitely...even I get goosebumps...such a great game

[squidward123]

nearly 25 years later, it's still sickening he got away with that. This is the ONLY reason i give german football no respect.

Isn't it the referee you should be disrespecting?

Schumacher went to Battiston's wedding later.

Wolfgang Overath, best midfielder of the 1970 WC as voted by the International Press, with the ball on his left foot ready to dribble pas someone or spray a clockwork like pass - a defining image for me.

Gerd Mueller gently...just gently, tapping it past Peter Bonetti at WC 1970.http://www.elmundo.es/mundial/2006/albumes/2006/05/25/gerd_muller/index_4.html

This game is the 1973 Cup Final in Germany and regarded as the greatest game played inside Germany.

Netzer, who was mourning the death of his mother on the bench, announced at the end of extra-time (1-1) that he was going in. Only he had that sort of influence with the coach those days. He had announced his departure to Real Madrid and this was his last game for Borussia Moenchengladbach. To top it off, he scored an incredible winner seconds later with his second touch - the first being the one that started a seemingly impossible 1-2 through a forest of players.

Thanks for putting up the posters. I don't know about you, but IMHO, the posters pale in comparison with the photo. The photograph is just such a powerful image of the pure athleticism, grace, power. If I had to pick a single image of the sport to explain it to someone, it may well be this one.
