Well the disco and funk, and jazzfunk music of the early seventies definitely made it so 1974
It's in the music first of all

Beckenbauer vs Cruyff, one of the best clashes at a FIFA world cup final match.

This world cup in West Germany was delightful.
They had very nice matches and made an interests.
The new trophy was born at the world cup in 1974.

Camera quality in 1974 even better than bank security camera today

This Disco music is more a '78 sound than '74 imo

The western German was hosted and won. This is the first time that we saw the FIFA World Cup, especially the current trophy.

West Germany losing on purpose against East Germany was the peak... very 1982 against Austria

I have watched 3 Cups---2006, '10 and '14. The worst was 2010.Lack of goals and frustating draws and tactical football and ear splitting vuvuzela buzz marred the tournament.
The best was 2014.Lots of goals, excitement and fun.Besides, there's something about Brazil hosting the WC - being the beautiful game's spiritual home.

The first red card was Caszely from Chile
