With about five minutes left (after midnight our time) and Italy in control at 1-0 my brother went to bed. Iwatched the rest of the match. Next morning he said "Did Italy win?" I said yes, but you missed the best match I've ever seen!" My opinion hasn't changed in 51 years!

Brazil, Italy and Germany together: 13 WORLD CUP TITLES.
Definitely, the three strongest National teams in football history.

The image of Beckenbauer commanding Germany with his bandaged arm remained in everyone's memory.A true captain!

[rgbro]

The Italians and the Germans always make a great semifinal

RIP Gerd Müller...one of the true greats.

Incredible moment in the history of football. Full intensity and great players like Beckenbauer, Seeler, Riva, Rivera, Mueller and other. I was then 12 and I was in the stadium. Never before or after I have seen directly something similar.

36 years later, they meet again in the semis and produced an instant classic.

Italy and Germany always play well together. For decades italian defence was what all teams feared

I was ten back then and due to time difference matches were ending at 01.45. My late mom was screaming that I had to go to bed and I was saying now and in a few minutes and the like. Finally i said that it finishes at 1.45 and then Germany scored and I said 30 minutes more and she thought I was kidding her. But finally I saw the match until the end. One of the strongest memories of my life

My dad travelled to Mexico and went to this match. He passed away the following year when I was only four years old 😥
I still have his ticket.

Imagine been in Mexico in 1970 and go to the stadium just for fun to see a match not knowing that it’s going to be the match of the century

[paulbradshaw]

Some absolute top drawer legends playing toe to toe. Facchetti, Riva, Rivera, Mazzola, Maier, Beckenbauer, Overath, Seeler, Muller. List goes on. Beckenbauer for me a class above, those typical surging runs forward are amazing.

2 legends died in short amount of Beckenbauer and for the Family and RIP for Football

[Annur]

This is known as the Match of the Century. Absolutely fantastic!

[grandioso]

Italy, Germany and Brasil are the History of football

[PAULOBASS]

A true classic! Two selections that I really appreciate!

I listened to this match on the radio in 1970. It was the most remarkable experience I have ever had. After full time, BBC radio broke off the commentary to go to world News and at the end of the news they gave the score. This is how it was announced. " And now we have the final score in the world Cup semi final. W Germany 3, Italy 4. ". I was besides myself. When he said West Germany 3, I jumped for joy and then he said Italy 4. Can you believe it!

For better or for worse, Italy and Germany have given birth over the years to legendary matches that have entered the collective imagination.
When Italy hears the name Germany, she feels a kind of terrifying charge. The European derby without a doubt.

Mexico 1970 was indeed a memorable World Cup!
