I still can still remember watching the BRD beat France in Seville in '82. We ran out and hung out by the team bus when they left. Jupp was so cool he came over and greated the fans.:D

Vice World Champ '74 as assistant coach, European Champ '80 and Vice World Champ '82 as head coach. Kudos!!

uli hesse had a less than complimentary article on jupp on espnsoccernet. Mainly focusing on that infamous game in 82 where w.germany played keep ball for 70 minutes.

and he also wrote this "Perhaps it was that Germany played such uninspired, boring football when he was at the helm, a development he aggravated by alienating the most gifted player of this generation, Bernd Schuster."

I'm quite a fan of Ulrich Hesse-Lichtenberger but I must say I'm disappointed that he didn't bother to re-watch the 1982 Germany vs. Austria scandal game. Usually Uli's aim in most of his articles dealing with football history is to debunk urban legends and myths left and right. One of the most annoying myths is that Germany and Austria played backpasses for 75 minutes in that game. This is simply not true and I am really disappointed that Uli joins the shame-of-gijon-bandwagon without rewatching the game to check if his own memories and that of all other people really remember that game as it actually was. Bit disappointing that he didn't undertake that effort.

Perhaps it was that Germany played such uninspired, boring football when he was at the helm.

It's disappointing that the Jupp Derwall era in some quarters (including Uli) always is reduced to the 1982 World Cup and the two years that followed it. Germany played some of the most exciting football in the first three years of Derwall's reign (1978-79 to 1981), sadly guys like Uli seem to have erased the great team of that era from their memory.
