In a sorry Beckenbauer and his team have nothing to be sorry for a they were the Best in the Field. After two straight runner up finishes the germans emphatically put their Marie on a tournament beset by Overly conservative tactics and too much fouling. That show Argentina played in the final in which Pedro Monzon and Gustavo Dezottis became the first players to be ejected from a world cup final.

Team is going to have to Beckenbauer leaves behind a highly skilled collection of West German players who soon could be supplemented by East germans. This also is not an old team by any Means and most of the players still will be in their prime for the next world cup. This world cup was a showcase for the germans Speed savvy and Power.

Quot the Black hand of this Man expelled Pedro Monzon for a Normal action and later he called a penalty against us from his what the argentines did at the final whistle was almost beyond imagination. The players surrounded Codesal at the Center of the Field and angrily disputed the penalty against Sensini. Argentina coach Carlos Bilardo rushed onto the Field and had to pull his players away from the referee one by one. Quot i done to express opinions on refs i done to choose them fifa chooses them a said Bilardo who also is retiring. A Argentina in no Way asks for any rets and i done to comment on it was the germans who made the most profound statement in the most foul plagued world cup Ever. A total of 170 yellow cards and 16 red cards were handed out. Quot All these great things happened for us because we made them a said Captain Wolhar Matthaeus who has been told by Beckenbauer to take any penalty kicks awarded his team during the game.
