Sure, this is a more apt approach in my opinion. Since I don't want to base my opinions on highlights, I'll watch the 1974 World Cup games for both teams and get back to you on my personal opinion, in terms of the order of importance, and the rough disparity between each ranks. It won't solve the issue addressed, but it will show our perspectives on their respective performances in the 1974 World Cup. If you have already watched the games, you can share your opinions, but I'll avoid reading them to prevent watching the footage with strong preconceptions. If I seem like I'm ignoring you, it is because I'm not done formulating my thoughts.
I noticed @Krokko had posted this 1970 World Cup ratings summary (perhaps derived from Kicker ratings Krokko?) - I know West Germany didn't 'win something' that time though, but still it's in their general golden 70s period anyway Football Ratings: West Germany ratings in the 1970 World Cup 7,46 Wolfgang Overath 7,35 Franz Beckenbauer 6,95 Jürgen Grabowski, Karl-Heinz Schnellinger 6,75 Uwe Seeler 6,70 Sigfried Held 6,67 Willi Schulz 6,58 Gerd Müller 6,46 Berti Vogts 6,44 Reinhard Libuda 6,25 Hannes Löhr 6,20 Sepp Maier 6,06 Horst-Dieter Höttges

I agree with you dear Mate ! Congratulations...for his Job ...always ... shows me ...too much courage ..and BraveHeart ... to show the dark side of the Sun ... on Ronaldo Nazario ... ..honestly .... i saw ...whole career ...whole matches .... between 1997 and 1999 he was a phenomenon in World Football... for example with a better peak or prime than Ronaldinho from Rio Grande do Sul individually speaking... But before 1997...and after 1999 he was always a worse Poacher compared to Gerd Muller... Ferenc Puskas at Real Madrid..Van Basten ...Coutinho...Sandor Kocsis ...Romário .. Eusebio.. Cruyff.. as False nine or Poacher..at Ajax times...later Cruyff became libero.. midfielder...at Barcelona etc ..etc... .. Walter Casa Grande Jr...putting Ronaldo Nazario on his pocket .... ...
hahahahaha ... yes Excuses ... excuses for not doing the dirty work... and always necessary in Professional Football

The Pedernera re-created goal, for Millonarios vs Boca Juniors de Cali, is from this documentary then apparently (with also other re-created goals by Di Stefano and others on there): " After the success of the book 'The Best Team in the World' by Mauricio Silva (@msilvaazul), the journalist joined filmmaker Yesid Vásquez and researcher Felipe Valderrama to recall the best era of the Millonarios of 'El Dorado', with unpublished images, recovered and restored from the Colombian film heritage and an in-depth investigation. Its premiere will be this Sunday, April 7 on Señal Colombia. SUBSCRIBE:" See the example formation at 7:11 too (Di Stefano also included Cozzi and Pini in all-time XIs at one point or another as we have discovered - different points actually as it was Cozzi in one in 1960 and Pini in one picked in 1982) This is probably off main topic again (I guess Pedernera is more a candidate for in effect most under-rated player if anything), but I thought it was interesting to put the context here (I suppose these re-created goals are a little bit akin to the ones of Pele scoring famous goals for example).
Yes, Pedernera is one of the all-time greats. I remember researching football in the 40s and 50s to edit articles on wiki (I did few articles on wiki in Spanish and Portuguese), and Pedernera was highly regarded in the newspapers of the time, and in a Copa America that Argentina won, an expert pointed out that the difference between Brazil and Argentina was that Pedernera went back to the line of defence to get the ball and set up the play (an observation made in many games today for other players).
I'll say that... RG had a way better carreer than it's said (for instance people act like if his fantastic return to Brazil was nothing). He was a maverick, but even as gifted as he was, he wasn't as intelligent as Diego with similar entertaining traits, nor as assertive and intelligent as Zico. What a joy of a player, but he didn't invent that ubber entertaing approach and also not few times when some of this extremely gifted players pull out some extra entertaining play it's more an example of not being capable of pulling (or even seeing) a more productive faster play, than just an strict example of talent as weird as it might sound. Zizou was fantastic, finesse personified, extraordinary, but in a global view I alwayshated when people compared him against Platini and treated Michel like a lesser player. This last one for me, it's overall a better player. Cristiano is a phenom, but never saw him as a genius all around type. He is a case where people goes to extremes, from consider him only driven that just worked to be better, to some sort of Genius above Maradona in terms talent. Neither is right, he was born gifted as hell, just not as talented as others normally so called GOATS or Geniuses. On the other hand he had a carreer that many of other "GOATS" would dream of and this has a lot of weight in his consideration. R9 it's so likeable, so spectacular, that sometimes things get out of proportions with him. As capable as he was doing almost everything, he wasn't overall as complete as other offensive players so called GOATS, he was like CR, more incline to be a forward and goalscorer. Romario for me was an absolute Phenom, a better finisher and even more intelligent. Yet he certainly embodied a type of big forward that just makes you fall in love. So nig. skilled, so powerful. The thing it's that because of his injuries, the IFs get out of proportions, like if even Maradona didn't had any like other trully special specimens. He Reigned in the explosion of marketing of the 90's, of global TV and he was rightfully made an ICON. But if he was analyzed under a microscope, like current players are, he woudn't look as PERFECT as he is portraited. All in all, to even call any of these fellas OVERRATED, it's quite a crime, neither of them are and at the end of the day, there isn't just ONE fella that can be called the best ever, all of these fellas and bunch of others were among the best in their respective periods. Later everyone will preffer more a certain style, some will have less or more titles and we will see atributes in some that we don't see in others, maybe without being entirely right, just our view and prefferences.
