In fact, Cruyff did non fifty-fifty bother to remain in addition to departed for Barcelona to “treat a low-cal genu injury.”
The absences (especially Cruyff’s) allowed Knobel to breath easier in addition to a costless manus to select a squad in addition to he also chose to discard Johnny Rep.
He started amongst Rene van der Kerkhof in addition to Ruud Geels upfront. He also started amongst Arntz in addition to Peters inward midfield.

It was reported when Geels scored, van Hanegem in addition to Neeskens on the bench did non demo whatever emotion of joy.
Wim Meutstege stated afterwards, “In contrast to Midweek dark against the Czechs, the establishment was proficient now. Everyone worked, sacrificed himself for another, inward brusque they had everything left for each other. “
In contrast, Wim van Hanegem said, “What did that tertiary identify mean? We had come upward to win.”
The Home fans had been dissatisfied throughout the gibe in addition to soundless angered past times the loss to West Germany. They verbally attacked Acimovic inward this gibe every bit he was made the scapegoat for the loss vs., West Germany.
After the match, Katalinski would say, “unbelievable the errors nosotros made, nosotros were leading FRG 2-0, in addition to I let on myself i against 2 amongst fifteen minutes left, every bit nosotros are leading 1-2.

Going into the Final match, FIFA President Joao Havelange was total of praise for the Tournament, he stated, “they say Football is dead, but at that topographic point receive got been fifteen goals inward 3 matches”.
UEFA President Artemio Franchi added, “Isn’t it amazing that all 3 matches had to conk overtime to determine winners”.
Argentina Manager Cesar Luis Menotti was at that topographic point to let on European Football. He said, he “admired the dependent of Czechs in addition to Germans in addition to physical status of all the players involved”, but that “I did non reckon players technically superior to my Argentineans thus I am hopeful for the World Cup.”
Former Kingdom of Belgium Manager Raymond Goethals (on his agency to Anderlecht) said, “I create non reckon the Czechs winning”.
The Final was held on June 20th, 1976 betwixt Czechoslovakia in addition to West FRG at Belgrade.
Originally a replay was scheduled inward example of a draw, nevertheless hours earlier the match, the 2 teams decided on a penalization boot shootout to determine the matter.
Apparently this was done without bespeak the players. The West High German Federation were concerned since they had already played overtime vs. Yugoslavia in addition to it would live draining on the players.
The Czechs entirely made i alter from their gibe vs. Holland. Jan Svehlik started inward identify of Jaroslav Pollak.
The West Germans also made entirely i change; Dieter Muller had forced his agency into the starting lineup after his lid play tricks debut. He started ahead of Dietmar Danner.
Most notably for the Germans, Captain Franz Beckenbauer was playing inward his 100th International.
Just similar the gibe vs. Yugoslavia, West FRG would start sluggishly in addition to autumn behind (0-2).
Jan Svehlík scored offset inward the 8th infinitesimal followed past times a strike past times Karol Dobiás inward the 25th minute.
Just 3 minutes later, Dieter Muller gave the West Germans a lifeline past times scoring his 4th goal of the Finals.
From in addition to then on the Germans would hold inward a desperate search for an equalizer. Czech goalkeeper Ivo Viktor would conk the star of the gibe past times keeping the Germans at bay for most of the match.
Once again, Helmut Schoen would post on Flohe inward the 2nd one-half (replacing Wimmer) to spark his teammates.
The West Germans would larn their equalizer amongst but a infinitesimal remaining when Holzenbein headed inward Bonhof’s corner.
The Germans had an appeal for penalization boot for a foul past times Dobias on Beckenbauer but it was waved off.
For the 4th fourth dimension inward this contest the gibe went into over time.
In the Overtime, the Germans had roughly other penalization boot appeal after Capkovic fouled on Muller inward the 113th infinitesimal but that was also denied.
Neither of the teams could brand a breakthrough inward the overtime, thus for the offset fourth dimension a Final had to live decided on penalization kicks.
Each squad scored their offset 3 kicks. Jurkemik would score the Czechs 4th attempt. It was at nowadays upward to Uli Hoeness to accept Germany’s fourth. He missed his endeavor past times shooting it over the bar.
Years later, Uli Hoeness would say that he had taken the responsibleness to accept a penalization kick, despite non beingness comfortable, because the choice would receive got been to entrust a immature thespian similar Dieter Muller playing entirely his 2nd game for the National Team, therefore, “I had to shoot.”
All the Germans could promise at nowadays was a fault past times the Czechs in addition to Beckenbauer would receive got taken the 5th kick.
Beckenbauer had been completely drained in addition to had non wanted to accept a penalty. He had said, "For God's sake, I promise the determination is non mine now”.
In whatever example it would non come upward to it.
It was upward to Panenka to seal the win for the Czechs. So confident were his teammates of his success that after Hoeness had missed his attempt, they started to accept off their jerseys (to telephone exchange amongst the West Germans).
He would hold to score amongst a penalization boot that to this bears his name. It was a soft dipping penalization inward the middle that Maier never imagined.
So pregnant is this penalization kick, that at that topographic point is fifty-fifty a Football Magazine that bears his bring upward ‘Panenka’. To score a ‘Panenka’ is role of the dictionary of Football.
Czechoslovakia became the UEFA European Championship winners for the offset fourth dimension in addition to the 5th land to win this title.
Helmut Schoen had at nowadays led West FRG to 2 consecutive UEFA European Championship Finals.
Along amongst the 1974 World Cup, he had managed West FRG to 3 forthwith major finals.
This remains the entirely official penalization boot shootout lost past times West Germany.
Helmut Schoen was philosophical most the defeat. He said, “Only after defeats tin yous genuinely live happy most victories!”
Italian Newspaper 'Corriere dello Sport' praised Schoen for his rebuilding operate next the retirements in addition to departures of so many fundamental players. They wrote, "The formation of Schoen was rebuilt from the Ashes in addition to turned into a machine that rolls all down. "
Some similar Franz Beckenbauer complained most the penalization kicks in addition to would receive got preferred a replay. He said, "Penalty kicks, such a mess. With our proficient condition, nosotros had for certain won a replay.”
Czechoslovakia Manager Vaclav Jezek felt differently, saying, "Another gibe would receive got been inhuman".
Helmut Schoen believed that a replay would non receive got been guaranteed High German victory in addition to added, “It has been better, therefore, to goal it hither also inward guild non to run the jeopardy of losing roughly players due to an injury.”
He also sarcastically remarked that FRG should receive got started every gibe (0-2) that agency they would receive got played ameliorate from the start.
Czechoslovakia had been the surprise of the Tournament that no i had seen coming. It was difficult to imagine them lifting the trophy when they lost to England inward their opening qualifier inward the Fall of 1974. However, past times the goal of these Euros the names of Panenka, Nehoda, Viktor, Ondrus in addition to Pivarnik would live identify names.
They impressed amongst their organizational skills in addition to fitness. After reaching the 1934 in addition to 1962 World Cups, Czechoslovakia finally won an International title.
Their victory was good deserved, in addition to it would live entirely a affair of speculation whether West FRG would receive got won had they been able to telephone yell upward upon Heynckes every bit good every bit Breitner in addition to Netzer (who had angrily left the squad).
This was goal of the route for Beckenbauer who would larn out for New York Cosmos past times the next year.
In add-on to the absences, it was clear Schoen had non been able to let on adequate replacements for the retirees (Grabowski, Overath in addition to most notably of all Gerd Muller). Despite his lid trick, Dieter Muller was soundless raw in addition to never reached the heights of his illustrious namesake.
Schoen was also nearing the goal of the route in addition to would persevere amongst this squad in addition to retire inward 2 years fourth dimension inward 1978.
The Dutch would live victim of their internal squabbling that would live their hallmark fifty-fifty for the Generations to come. While all elements to come upward together inward 1974, they were unstuck this fourth dimension inward the pelting of Zagreb. They were irreproachable technically, but all the egos would oftentimes brand it the way.
It had been an exciting Euros amongst every gibe undecided in addition to going into overtime amongst goals galore.
The total attendance amounted entirely to roughly 150, 000 but that was by in addition to large due to Yugoslavia’s elimination inward the semifinals that resulted inward a really depression turn-out for their tertiary identify gibe vs. Holland.
Some also blamed the fact that the matches were on Television in addition to the high-ticket prices.
The need to increase the participants would live heard in addition to the side past times side Euros inward Italia would characteristic viii Nations
