Could someone please post the shot of Beckenbauer with his arm slung from the '70 semi w/ Italy? I've had no luck locating it elsewhere.

Thanks

Or are you looking for the one in which the bandage covers the number on his back?

It may be the latter, where he's back on the pitch. Adidas put out a shirt last summer with the image, I was hoping to adopt as avatar. It's just the epitomy of commitment and the immensity of the World Cup. Thanks for your help.

Yeah man. Unbelievable. I think Germany and Italy played to a 1-1 tie after regulation, and the game ended 4-3, after 3 OTs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but back then FIFA regs were for 30 minute OTs? The weather was ca. 95 degrees F, and considerably warmer on the pitch w/ the 120,000 plus on hand at the Azteca. Not to mention that it was played in the rare air of Mexico City over a mile above sea level. What a competitor!

If there was a better team ever in the history of football I defy you to tell me. Seriously you've got 4 or 5 of the greatest players of ALL time, not just the best AT the time in their starting 11. Pele and Rivelino are in the top 5 players of all time and I'd say Carlos Alberto and Jairzinho are in the top 15 too.

The inventor of that elastico move Ronaldinho so often does. Lmao at the expression on the defenders face as Roberto completely blitzes him.

I'm sorry, but I have to agree with you. Brazil 70, is "non plus ultra." The combination of players, the maturity of a seasoned Pele, the way they meshed and samba'd their way up the field like they were playing a pick up game, barefoot on the beaches of Ipanema or Copacabana, loose and fluid......the goals they scored...........ahhhhhhhh.......o' jogador quem intenta facer o dribling, precisa saber que e sempre ele quem toma la initiativa, um giro, uma parada, um balanceo, um arranque explosivo, toda coisa va facer la finta efectiva (excuse me for my poor Brazilian grammar - I left when I was six.......) They were all exceptional - Jairzinho, Rivelino, Tostao, Alberto Carlos, was rare amongst diamonds. We can argue all day about the merits of Kafu, or Socrates, or Roberto Carlos (check him out on youtube, man oh man that guy has a late breaking curve ball on his free kicks, that is what is called "an educated left foot!" unbelievable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgpbQYwPrvs), and start naming your favorites from great European sides, like the Clockwork Orange(s) of 74 and 78, or from great clubs of yore, e.g. Bobby Moore on the English sides of 66 and 70, etc. etc. ........but as a team, as a team?..............Brazil 70, non plus ultra.

Pity that he didn't finish his run by removing a few of Shumacher's teeth (for you, Mssr. Battiston).

1978 World Cup final. Argentina defeats Holland 3-1. Pato Fillol hugs Conejo Tarantini. A fan with no arms joins them in el Abrazo del Alma, the embrace of the Soul.

How did the guy lose his arms? Did he get into trouble with the government who also won Argentina that WC?

[unclesox]

I've never seen that photo before. Is that what Argentines call that photo, El Abrazo del Alma?
:cool:
