The tournament that was supposed to eradicate cynical fouls and general unpleasantness ended with Codesal surrounded by protesting losers. The menace had been all German, the South Americans' anxiety prompting a huddle just inside the mouth of the tunnel as they sought urgency with the intrusive television cameras shoved away by Martín Demichelis. The 1974 World Cup 1978: Argentina. West Germany: Illgner Berthold, Brehme, Kohler, Augenthaler, Buchwald, Littbarski, Hassler, Voller, Matthaus, Klinsmann. The youngster's goal was only the beginning of a rout by the Nationalmannschaft, who were 4-0 winners on the day after Klose scored a brace and Arne Friedrich slotted home the only goal of his international career. Their ability to pressurise the Germans whenever possession was lost, fall back to broaden the defensive barrier, then break out swiftly and incisively once the ball had been regained enabled them to take a grip on the match which West Germany seldom challenged until that last chaotic quarter of an hour. 1966 World Cup Group Stage: West Germany and Argentina were drawn together again. It was the obvious and the fairest result even if the final double twist to the plot had left the outcome briefly in doubt. A ramshackle back line was duly pierced for a second time as the grounded Müller conjured a hooked pass to liberate Podolski, with his centre beyond Nicolás Burdisso tapped into the gaping net by Klose. This is the third time the two countries will meet in the World Cup Final, a record. In the event Brehmen's corners from the left did the trick. They were two goals down before the hour and seemed destined to pass into footballing history as the most uninspired of losing World Cup finalists. Four years after the Albiceleste's historic win in Mexico City, Argentina and West Germany met again in the final, this time in Rome. Maradona himself had been fouled 48 times but was never going to get any sympathy because people remembered his crafty handball against the Soviet Union in Naples and had grown weary of the agonising, the grimaces and the constant appeals to the Deity. Sunday's contestants have an extensive history, having met 20 times (per WorldFootball.net) in the past, notably the 1986 and 1990 World Cup finals, both of which are remembered as epic clashes in World Cup history. They had a few chances of drawing level before half time although Rummenigge would probably have scored after Berthold had nodded a free-kick black to him from the far post. The FIFA World Cup 1978 was played in Argentina 1-25 June, with 16 nations. After this victory, Germany will be undaunted at the prospect of playing either Paraguay or even Spain in the semi-finals. This is precisely what happened in the 56th minute when Argentina scored their second goal. What a pity last night's final failed so completely to match the winners' overall achievement. Argentina was dispatched 1-0 in the quarterfinals by host England.

Argentina v Germany is a World Cup final fit for the Maracanã. They defeated West Germany 3-2 in the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City in a final which saved its main dramas for the last 16 minutes and then left the capacity crowd limp with excitement. Thomas Müller scored in the third minute. In taking the Germans to two successive finals and winning the second he has re-established the chain of command broken by the abrupt departure of Jupp Derwall after the European Championship failures of 1984. While Germany has won the Cup thrice, Uruguay and Argentina have won it twice each, and England, Germany, and Spain have won it once each. Argentina won the World Cup for the second time in three tournaments yesterday by proving that there is more to their team that Diego Maradona. The 1978 World Cup 1982: Spain. The 1970 World Cup 1974: West Germany. Before the penalty Augenthaler wasted West Germany 's best chance.

The match disintegrated after that. Sadly, because he has been one of the game's outstanding talents, but fittingly too, he ended his last World Cup final with a yellow card for one last argument, this on behalf of Dezotti whose dismissal for grabbing Kohler round the neck three minutes from the end and wrestling him to the ground was a bit hard. With German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann consulting a crib sheet tucked in his sock, Die Mannschaft beat the Argentines 4-2 on penalties to advance to the semifinals, where they lost to Italy. For the second half Franz Beckenbauer, the West German coach, replaced the struggling Allofs with Voeller but the change made little immediate difference to the game's pattern except that as the Germans lumbered forward in greater numbers they were more likely to be caught thinly covered at the back. Beckenbauer promptly took off his draftsman, Magath, and brought on the old battering ram, Hoeness, who in the past had rescued the Germans from such fraught situations. That was in the 74th minute. Germany cut through them like a knife would slide through butter that has been left out on a picnic table on a sunny afternoon. As Dominic Fifield reports below, Diego Maradona's team were slaughtered that day. After defending dully but solidly Argentina were beaten by a penalty which typified the indifferent refereeing of the tournament as a whole and ended with nine men on the field after Edgardo Codesal had sent off Pedro Monzón, the first man ever to be dismissed in a World Cup final, and Gustavo Dezotti.

Youthful zest combines with purring ability and tactical discipline in their approach. Certainly there appeared to be no intention of taking the man, because the defender had time and the danger was not acute.

Brazil-Argentina and Germany-Netherlands may be the fiercest rivalries in international soccer. Argentina: Romero, Demichelis, Burdisso, Heinze, Otamendi, (Pastore, 70), Di Maria (Aguero, 76), Mascherano, Maxi, Higuain, Messi, Tevez. The teams played to a scintillating 0-0 draw at Villa Park. However, the team fell short in Rome, with West Germany getting revenge for the ’86 World Cup by defeating the Argentines 1-0. in 1994, Argentina lost out to Romania 3-2 in the round of 26, while in 1998, the Netherlands got their revenge for the ’78 World Cup, toppling Argentina 2-1. West Germany deserved their success because from the beginning of the 1990 World Cup they had played fast, open attacking football and consistently achieved more penetration than any of their rivals. Cautious, crabby and a poor spectacle, it typified the way much of the tournament had gone. To West Germany must go the credit for transforming a predictable and at times prosaic game into a memorable match. With five World Cup titles between them (three for Germany and two for Argentina), this is a showdown between two members of football royalty, with a history between them to match. Re-reading David Lacey on the 1986 final below, it's clear than Maradona did not win the World Cup on his own. Jose Luis Brown put Argentina ahead on 23 minutes and Jorge Valdano made it 2-0 on 56 minutes. The fury of Argentina's reaction to the decision stemmed from the belief that even with 10 men, after the dismissal of Monzon in the 64th minute, they were still capable of forcing extra-time and another penalty competition, the winning of which had taken them through both the quarter-finals and the semi-finals. Joachim Löw's team may have lacked the star names of their South American rivals, but they were always the more dangerous side here, with the scoreline, even at 4-0, anything but flattering. A three-goal barrage in the second half put the match out of reach. Mueller would have the last laugh. Messi scored within seven minutes of the restart and Angel Di Maria got a third later on. Yet, as their desperation grew, so too did Germany's threat on the break. The teams have met at this stage before, with Argentina winning in Mexico back 1986 and Franz Beckenbauer's team finding some kind of closure four years later at Italia 90, but their quarter-final in South Africa in 2010 is a better place to look for clues before Sunday night's final. The Germans should have added a second while Argentina dawdled, Miroslav Klose skying over a shot from an unchallenged position near the penalty spot after Gabriel Heinze's error and Müller's pull-back. Roberto Ayala put Argentina ahead early in the second half but Miroslav Klose drew Germany level 10 minutes before full time. Lionel Messi will be their hope. Argentina, who made our 10 Best Teams Never to Reach a World Cup Final list, looked like the best team for much of it. Muller proved he was more than just a ball boy in the 2010 World Cup quarterfinal. West Germany lost to host Sweden in the semifinal. Argentina took the lead on a goal from Omar Carbatta in the third minute, but West Germany stormed back to win 3-1. Punches were thrown during a post-match melee. Jose Luis Brown put Argentina ahead on 23 minutes and Jorge Valdano made it 2-0 on 56 minutes. Voller often managed to get on the end of these but his finishing was wayward. The final was a fitting climax to what has been acknowledged to be the most boring World Cup of all-time (Roger Milla excepted). Maradona was later dismissed from his position. Beckenbauer can now retire from the post of West German team chief, which he accepted reluctantly six years ago, with honour. The teams have met at this stage before, with Argentina winning in Mexico back 1986 … Seventeen of the players involved in that match in Cape Town featured in the semi-finals this week: 10 for Germany (Manuel Neuer, Philipp Lahm, Jerome Boateng, Per Mertesacker, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Sami Khedira, Toni Kroos, Mesut Ozil, Thomas Müller, Miroslav Klose) and seven for Argentina (Sergio Romero, Martín Demichelis, Javier Mascherano, Maxi Rodríguez, Sergio Agüero, Gonzalo Higuaín and Lionel Messi). Now Berti Vogts, the Kaiser's batman, can take over with confidence. The argument that Argentina amounted to nothing more than Maradona and 10 journeymen always did look thin but it needed yesterday's performance to convince the sceptics of their true worth as world champions. It was like Orwell's Two-minute Hate, often repeated. Matthaus seemed to have Maradona's number throughout the match, but the Argentine took one of his few chances with six minutes left, finding Jorge Burruchaga with a brilliant, delicate through pass that assisted the winner. Throughout the history, South America and Europe were tied with 9 World Cup wins each, but a win for Spain in 2010 gave Europe a lead of 10 – 9. Argentina on top of the world againDavid Lacey, Aztec Stadium, 29 June 1986. Argentina had played very physically throughout the tournament and were devastated by the final. The success may have been imperial but the game was plebeian for the most part and ended in near-anarchy. The referee ignored Maradona's complaints the penalty of crying wolf too often. West Germany lost to England as well, in the final which went to extra time. Argentina: Goycochea Basualdo, Lorenzo, Simon, Serrizuela, Ruggeri (Monzon 45), Burruchaga (Calderon 53), Sensini, Dezotti, Maradona, Troglio. At Wembley on that day it had been Liam Brady laying on the winner for Alan Sunderland to take the prize to Highbury. The West Germans won the World Cup for the third time last night and Rome has a new Emperor, Franz Beckenbauer, who led his team back from their disappointment of losing to Argentina in the 1986 final and enabled them to enjoy the triumphant moment he had experienced as a player in captaining the national team to success in the 1974 tournament.

It will be the fifth time in eight tournaments Argentina’s World Cup run has ended with Germany, positively or negatively. Burruchaga's free-kick from the right swung away from Schumacher who was left punching thin air as Brown headed the simplest of goals at the far post.
