Mein Opa war begeisterter Fußball fanatiker und Sammler. Auf einer Messe hat er ein Buch zur WM 1954 gekauft. In dem Buch lag ein Briefumschlag in dem ein handgeschriebener Brief mit Unterschrift des hier in dem Video zu hörenden Kommentator Herbert Zimmermann zu finden war. Ein ganz besonderer Zufallsfund ! Vor allem weil unser Familienname auch Zimmermann ist. Mein Opa sagte immer das der Sieg im Finale 1954 für ihn als Jugendlicher das schönste Geschehnis überhaupt war. Deutschland war wieder wer und war positiv in den Schlagzeilen, besonders nach dem 1. und 2.Weltkrieg etwas besonderes. Ich danke dir Opa das du deine Fußballbegeisterung an mich vererbt hast. Mögest du in Frieden ruhen ❤️
Tolle Geschichte! Mein Opa ist leider vor wenigen Monaten verstorben. Deine Kommentar hat mich daran erinnert, wie er mir über das Spiel berichtet hat. Danke!
Mit welch bescheidener Geste der Deutsche Kapitän Fritz Walter den Pokal übernimmt. Ein ebenso bescheidener und großartiger Spieler ist erst vor kurzem von uns gegangen, Uwe Seeler, der Nachfolger von Fritz Walter, als Spielführer der Deutschen Nationalmannschaft - R.I.P 👏👏👏
Es war damals aber auch generell nicht üblich, den Pokal hochzustemmen oder irgendwie rumzuzeigen. Einen Pokal glorreich hochzurecken, diese Geste hat erst 1958 und 1962 der Kapitän der Brasilianer erfunden, rein versehentlich, weil die Journalisten unbedingt Fotos machen wollten und er den Pokal mit beiden Händen hochhielt, einfach damit sie ihre Bilder machen können. Er hat dabei, die heute noch übliche Weise, mit einem Pokal siegreich umzugehen, erfunden.
I'm from Brazil and I really appreciate your work to make this game real and magical as it was. What a game! Great game by the goalkeepers, many scoring opportunities. An aggressive and courageous Hungary, and a brave Germany that never gave up. One of, if not the greatest, game of all time.
Nowadays you guys are rebuilding your national teams with the star Dominik Szoboszlai. Hope you guys do well at 2024 EURO and qualify for 2026 world cup. Greetings from Indonesia.
Auch nach all diesen Jahren nimmt mich dieses Match emotional noch immer mit! Was für ein Finale !!!! Turek teilweise ausserirdisch,2 mal auffer Linie gerettet und dann Zimmermann der dich packt mit seiner Reportage, die armen vorm Radio!!Vielleicht das beste Finale ever!!
@@X25_Networking Geht mir auch so, auch wenn der Bericht bekanntlich die Realität nicht naturgetreu widergibt. Hier wurden Fernsehbilderbilder gezeigt, in Verbindung mit dem Radiokommentar. In dieser verfälschten Form hat niemand diese Livereportage erlebt.
@@chrisMuc1966 aber vielleicht ist es auch genau das, was es ausmacht. Ich stelle mir gerade vor dass 1954 hunderte Männer in einem Wirtshaus sitzen, ihr Bier trinken, und der Wirt das Radio volle pulle aufgedreht hat. Und jetzt krallen sich aller vor Spannung an dem Glas fest.
When i was a teenager, my and my father were able to shake Ottmar Walter's hand at a Bundesliga game, back in 1999 i think. He was like 75 years old at the time. Why do i tell you that...? He played as a forward in THIS game. So me and my dad had the honor to shake the hand of one of Germanys first ever world champions. I feel honored till today. Btw his brother is Fritz Walter, the captain of Germanys 1954 side. Fritz is even considered to be one of Germanys goats.
I take that was at a FC Kaiserslautern game as both Ottmar and Fritz played for Kaiserslautern all their careers, other Kaiserslautern players horst eckel, Werner Liebrich and Werner Kohlmeyer also played that memorable day Vs the magical Magyars.
Absolutely amazing!!! Top 3 best finals in history. Hungary before this match eliminated from the tournament the last 2 finalist (Brazil and Uruguay). Greetings from Argentina.
Hungary showed the were great by carrying on the form of 1952-53 into the finals. Many teams who play well before the World Cup often disappoint. They also beat Brazil and Uruguay without Puskas.
Bin Jahrgang 1960, war noch gar nicht auf der Welt als wir zum ersten Mal Weltmeister wurden. Trotzdem bin ich immer wieder ergriffen von der Stimme des Reporter und den Spielszenen. Was müssen das damals nach dem verlorenen Krieg für Emotionen gewesen sein. Einfach großartig, wir waren wieder wer. Großes Lob auch an die die ungarische Mannschaft die sich als faire Verlierer erwiesen.
Das Leben ist unfair, Ungarn hätte gewinnen sollen, wenn es sich um eine Leistungsorientierung gehandelt hätte ... und das nicht anerkannte Tor gegen Ungarn in der 86. Minute (Puskas) war ein großer Diebstahl, ein weiterer im Fußball ... wo es denen zugute kam, die ich gemietet habe mehr (Westdeutschland). Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass sie Deutschland zugute kamen... 1990 und 2014 geschah das Gleiche... das heißt, drei Weltmeisterschaften gingen an Deutschland... was kein Mythos ist, sondern einfach jemand, der Glück hatte Vorteile der FIFA... von 4 Weltmeisterschaften... 3 wurden verschenkt... vergesst das nicht, Deutsche.
Hungary 1954 v Brazil 58 is one of the greatest game that never happened. Hungary played the '58 Cup with a very modified team, without several players who left the country because of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
Well, obviosly this was interesting final. I am a bit suspicious that maybe some of Hungarian players were motivated by something else to let Germans to beat them. As you say lot of players left the country, maybe its not just Hungarian revolution, maybe they get some money. Its something strange that they humiliated Germans in group stage 8:3, and than lost the finals, afther they led 2:0 in 8th minute. But maybe i am "conspiracy theorist" i am from Balcan, and i dont have trust in this covid vaccines
Да из-за Хрущева потеряли такой будущий финал -58 Венгрия -Бразилия, остаётся только пофантазировать,хвала Немцам,но меня душат слёзы от обиды за Венгрию!!!
I'm German but when I hear or read of Puskas, Kocsis, Hidegkuti, Boszik, Csibor, Grosics I start glowing. Several exceptional players in one team, each an all-time great in his own right, but all playing with understated class and humility - the star was the team. The greatest national side ever in my book, at least relative to their peers. Ahead even of Brazil 1958, Brazil 1970, Spain 2010.
Ahead even of Brazil 1958, 1970?? Brazil 1958 had Pelé (young scored 2 goals on final match), Garrincha, Didi, Nilton Santos. Brazil 1970 had Pelé, Jairzinho (best scorer of that cup), Gerson, Carlos Alberto Torres, Rivellino, Tostão.
OK I admit it’s close. In my book Brazil 1958 is a close second, and I wouldn't protest if someone ordered it the other way round. Brazil 1970 is third, just ahead of or jointly with Spain 2010 (Iniesta, Busquets, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Sergio Ramos, David Villa, Puyol, Piquet).
@Henry Kaspar - No, my friend, that's a nonsense. The 1954 Hungary team were clearly NOT ahead of Brazil 1958. Consider the fact that more or less the same 1958 Brazil team went on to win in 1962. So, no one would ever agree with you. But in the list of the greatest teams NEVER TO WIN THE WORLD CUP, I'd rank Hungary as number 1. Here's my top-3 list: 1. Hungary (1954) 2. Netherlands (1974) 3. Brazil (1950)
In some ratings the Hungarian team is rated as number one,all time,as it had a 50 game winning streak,up to the loss against Germany.Of course,these ratings are subjective,but it is broadly acknowledged that during that time period it was the greatest.
@@petergunner8666 - my friend, I assure you that I did not forget about the Brazil team of 1982-1986. You rattle off the names of the Brazil stars as if you've just discovered them. Or as if you have the naive belief that having big names in a team is all that impressive. Surely, you realise (as do most football lovers) that the Brazil team of 1982 was NOT a complete team? In Waldir Peres, they had a mediocre goalkeeper, and while their wing-backs were sensational going forward, they were less than stellar when defending. And the less said about the truly mediocre centre-forward Serginho the better. Finally, I find it baffling that you would even mention the England team of 1990 in this conversation. It was a pretty decent team, but amongst the best in all of footballing history? Really? You've got to be trolling! Either that or ....Well, I won't say it. But I wish you all the best.
Nicht mit Werbung zugeballert, bezahlbare Preise, Spieler mit Glanz in den Augen und richtige Emotionen. Einfach roher Fußball wie er sein soll. Schade, dass ich das nie erleben durfte.
Das Leben ist unfair, Ungarn hätte gewinnen sollen, wenn es sich um eine Leistungsorientierung gehandelt hätte ... und das nicht anerkannte Tor gegen Ungarn in der 86. Minute (Puskas) war ein großer Diebstahl, ein weiterer im Fußball ... wo es denen zugute kam, die ich gemietet habe mehr (Westdeutschland).

It also remains the last time an underdog team went on to win the whole damn tournament, Germany was not seen as a huge soccer powerhouse at the time while Hungary were seen as the greatest team to ever be assembled.
@@joeletaxi821 I watched the entire 1966 final. It was great, but not as good as this one. This final had far more chances and suspense. The underdog literally turned the game around. I do agree though that finals started to get worse. The last really great final may have been the 1986 one which Argentina won 3-2.
The greatest miracle in german football history, made by Rahn - my hometown hero. What a game. Of course every german is proud of that team - but has a lot of respect and admiration for that Hungary Team. Unbeliveable how good they played at that this time - looks like they were 20 years ahead of every other Nation. Puskas...He should've been named in a row with Pele and Maradonna, no one came even close to him until Pele came up. You could say that Hungary Team invented modern Football - Skill, pace and a lot of game intelligence.
Good evening Alexander. Helmut Rahn started his career in Katernberg. But obviously you mean Essen, a great town which I love very much, I'm a regular visitor at the Aalto Opera House, (I live near Gummersbach). Maybe you've read Helmut Rahn's football biography: "Mein Hobby Tore schießen". I always think of him when I enter the old Wallfahrtskirche in Neviges. The reason? He was married in this church. He also played for FC Köln, MSV Duisburg and Enschede.
@@franciszekkowalski7160 Good evening Franciszek. "The drugs" was an invention spread by the DDR (GDR), the politicians had hoped that their socialistic friends would win. Indeed, the shoes were better, this has been generally admitted but this is not unfair. FIFA decides which shoes are relevant. You are right, the Puskas offside goal is at least debatable, but this has nothing to do with "win the game not in a fair way." It was a decision by the referee. The result could have been the other way round, that's a fact for me. I have always felt pity with the Hungarian team. They played such a wonderful football, in this case they should have become World Cup winners. But it was a tournament and this is a bit different. Italy lost against North Korea (1966) and England against the USA (1950), for Brazil it was a national tragedy compared with Hungary when they lost against Uruguay in Rio 1950. I have a critical look at my country, hardly anyone had realized what the defeat in the final meant for Hungary and they had a terrible time in 1955 when the Soviets came with their tanks. But it is a slight consolation, look at the comment by Henry Kaspar, that some of the Hungarian players had enormous success in European teams.
6:41 - 6:46 Look how the Hungarian players dance over the tackles! In modern football each one of them would use this situation to fall over and claim a free kick.
Look also how smart and natural the players looked - mostly with their jerseys tucked in and black boots. No pink, red, white, yellow, purple, green fancy boots - and other stuff that has corrupted the modern game.
The World Cup victory gave Germany a newfound sense of pride and happiness. Some historians even consider this victory a turning point for post-war Germany. “It was a kind of liberation for the Germans from all the things that weighed down upon them after the Second World War,” wrote German historian Joachim Fest. “July 4, 1954 is in certain aspects the founding day of the German Republic.”
Nein, das ist nur ein Mythos, wenn man es aus zeitgenössischer Sicht betrachtet. Ein toller Erfolg und Balsam für die deutsche Seele zu dieser Zeit, aber zB in dem Film „Wunder von Bern“ wird dieses Ereignis überspitzt dargestellt.
That Hungarian team was probably the best national team side of all time. What is very revealing in this brilliant video is the respect they commamded from the Germans even after they were beaten. The Germans knew they pulled a miracle, it showed in those hesitant handshakes in the end. Great game, thanks for this footage.
Everybody knew the Hungarians were exceptional. Second and third best were arguably Brazil (finalist in 1950, and already containing bits and pieces of the great 1958 team) and Uruguay (defending champion). Only then came the other European teams, one of them Germany. By the way the 1954 WC was organized, Hungary had to play Brazil and Uruguay in the quarter- and semifinals, being forced into overtime by Uruguay - and this may have contributed to Hungary lacking a bit legs in the final's ultimate 20 minutes.
They beat germani 8-3 in grup, but Puskas, star from Hungary was broken leg hit by Germani player, so why when they met again in final Hongary lost, by that time no doping test, so the other team maybe used...
Ich kann nur in deutscher Sprache antworten und die Worte des deutschen Linksaußen, Wolfgang Schäfer, zitieren. Es war kein "Wunder". Es haben zwei Weltklassemannschaften gegeneinander gespielt, nur eine wusste davon nichts, weil sie nach dem Krieg nie gegeneinander gespielt hatten und Herberger in der Hinrunde eine "Reservetruppe" hat spielen lassen. Österreich zählte zu den Titelanwärtern und spätestens nach dem Halbfinale, welches Deutschland 6:1 gewonnen hatte, war klar was im Endspiel steht.
I would love to get my hands on a time machine and set up a game between this era of Hungary vs the Denmark team of 84-86. What a game of football that'd be!
What a final !! Despite me not understanding a single word spoken by the commentator, he must be lauded for capturing the emotions attached to that thrilling contest
The commentators name is Herbert Zimmermann, he was at the final for the German radio coverage. He is well known just for this match. You don't see these emotions in German commentary nowadays.
You must understand that this is much more than sports in the German history. It is sort of a foundation of Germany as a nation after the 2nd WW. I cannot see these pictures without crying. This radio live comment (it's radio in fact; there was no TV live comment in those days) of the last goal and the last moments is conserved in the "house of history" in the former capital Bonn.
@@borisbrinkmann There was actually a live TV commentary by Bernhard Ernst, the soundtrack of which has been lost. The TV broadcast could not be recorded at the time for technical reasons. Later, the official FIFA film was accompanied by Herbert Zimmermann's radio commentary, so that for decades every German has associated the images exclusively with Zimmermann's commentary.
Wow, Turek's performance was outstanding despite his early error, and his 24-min save is out of this world and way better than the so called "Save of the Century" by Banks. Great commentary BTW.
Огромная благодарность! Не знал, что существует обзор, причем в таком хорошем качестве! Чудо в Берне, сравнимое только с чудом в Лейк-Плэсид-80. Как же мадьярам не повезло на этом чемпионате! Они были лучше всех, но не в этот вечер. Немцам можно только выразить уважение за стойкость и волю к победе. Такой нужной для страны победе...
When football was a delight to watch, no rolling over on the ground after a hard but fair tackle and no-one racing after the referee after every goal protesting..
Certainly Not better than the last WC Final between Argentina and France. 6goals, a penalty shootout and no cheating like Germany 1954 making this 2022 Final the Best of all time.
@@sporttv8506 Argentina dominated Netherlands and France until the late Comeback equalizers. Against Netherlands they had a shot on the post in Overtime. They were far better than Croatia, beat them 3:0 in the semi finals. France had two penalties until the penalty shootout and Argentina one penalty. They were better at penalties even with the high nose attitude of Europe. They always pretend to have the best Players and Teams, i saw better individual players and talents at France, but the best Team at the World Cup was Argentina. They waited 36 years for this World Cup and ended the European domination of World Cup Champions from 2006-2018.
I've seen the summary of this legendary match for the 1st time, thanks a lot. Лише 9 років минуло після WWII, обидві країни зазнали катастрофічних утрат, всі люди на полі та більшість на трибунах пережили цей жах. А тут грають у футбол та щиро радіють голам, життя повернулося.
Unbelievable! This game is over since 70 years. All players are dead now. But when I see this report, my heartbeat accelerates and I wonder, how it ends.
Das ist die deutsche Fussballlegendenbildung, mit allem drum und dran... Fussballgott,,, Turek, seitdem nur Weltlklassetorleute... hoffentlich ist das nicht schon alles zuende... Danke für die Mühe, ganz toll, mir kamen die Tränen. Top No.1!
First time I’ve seen the highlights of this match and what a great game! All 4 of Germanys World Cup wins have been special each in their own unique way. What makes the 1954 triumph so impressive is that before a ball was kicked in the tournament no one would have believed that West Germany would had a chance of winning. West Germany were unseeded to begin with, today such a thought would be seen as complete folly but in 1954 this was not the case. They came out as winners despite all odds been stacked against them and to been the first team to defeat the Magical Magyars as they were known in the final was especially a fantastic achievement That team was an inspiration and showed if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything!
tell me how 2014 was stolen that argentine striker could have scored and won the world cup tell me how mario götzes goal was cheated also 1990 was a pen and tell me how to cheat in a penalty and stolen doesnt make sense cuz every country tried hard also if you read this and spam nerd emojis look wikipedia and yes i just wrote that cuz idk bye
Thanks for colourising this. After watching highlights for the first time, it's hard to think of a finer World Cup final. Devastating that the exceptional Hungary side couldn't immortalise themselves with the famous trophy, but the Germans have that winning nous every time
OMG first time I've seen this what an incredible video of a fantastic game. Somehow the Germans found a way to beat this awesome Hungarian team. The pace of the game could match any modern game and the German goalie as good as anything I've ever seen between the sticks. The skill on both teams was an eye popper . Any football fan really needs to see this- magical
I'm very surprised how similar the gameplay is to modern football. Overlaps, pass and go, crosses, etc. Basketball from the 50s is so different from today, but football from the 50s feel familiar.
@@One.Zero.One101 Other than the rule changes, the only major change would be that the game is now played by elite athletes. Other than that, as you say, players in all ages played dynamic, progressive football
I think I've never seen a better performance by a goalkeeper than Turek's one. He is shamefully forgotten. Grosics too was great in this match. Overall one if the most exciting games ever, not only the best final ever. Maybe due also to the great commentator. Hungary was such a wonderful team, they had so many opportunities, especially in the second half
WOW!!! I am speechless! And yet i have so many things on my mind to say about this clip! First of all, what an incredible job of restoring the film of this match! It almost looks like an HD film from the 50s! And then the commentary.....i've never heard such an emotional & brilliant commentary in my life! And third of all, the game itself.....it is sooo damn exciting.....WOW what an amazing game!!!
Für mich ist der Sieg der erste Weltmeister 1954 mehr als ein Highlight. Die Bescheidenheit, das auftreten der Spieler, damals ging es nicht nur um das Geld sondern um Eher für sein Vaterland... 🇩🇪😊 Die Reportage ein Kracher, ein Erlebnis hier zuzuhören, freude und Emotionale Begeisterung. Dieses vermisse ich heute sehr. Heute zählen nur noch Zahlen und Fakten, aber das Spiel geht dadurch immer mehr in den Hintergrund. Tolle Spielertypen haben der Jungen einen Wert der Bescheidenheit mit auf den Weg. 👍🥰 Der Sport steht heutzutage nicht mehr im Fokus sondern nur der Porfit der damit erzielt werden kann. Es ist auch egal ob ein Verein das nötige Kapital hat sich den ein oder anderen Spieler zu leisten. Im privaten Bereich stand man schon längst am Pranger, aber nicht die Vereine die mehrere Mio. Schulden haben. Diese kaufe munter weiter. Man sollte hier von der offiziellen Seite mal einen Riegel vor schieben. Ach ja mancher dieser Herren treiben dieses Rad bis uns unendliche weiter...😣 Gerne möchte ich die Faszination von damals wieder erleben. ♥️ Leider bin ich zu jung gewesen und ich kenne viele Geschichten Rund um diese Weltmeisterschaft von 1954 durch Erzählungen. Ein Traum für viele der Deutschen nimmt seinen Lauf in eine bessere Zukunft. Ich danke allen die mir durch das erzählen, den Weg gezeigt haben und mich immer fest auf den Boden der Tatsachen zurück zu führen.
Also, bei Spielen als Nationalspieler geht es eigtl. nie um Geld, sondern nur um Ehre. Die Spieler werden für einen Einsatz als Nationalspieler gar nicht bezahlt, und was es an Prämien gibt, selbst für einen Titelgewinn, ist für die bloß ein kleines Taschengeld. Da geht es wirklich nicht um Geld, auch heute noch (zumindest bei den Spielern, beim Verband und seinen Einnahmen natürlich schon, auch wenn die ebenfalls sehr moderat sind im Gegensatz zu Vereinen).
@@SamWinchester000 Das kann man jetzt sehen wie man will. In anderen Sportarten die nicht so im Fokus stehen wieder Fußball, bekommen die Sportler keine Aufwandsentschädigung (kleines Taschengeld, das verdienen die wenigsten Fans noch nicht einmal im Jahr). Wenn die Glück, haben bekommen Sie vom Verband eine Unterkunft gestellt, aber alle anderen Kosten zahlen die Sportler aus eigener Tasche oder Sie finden mit viel Glück einen Sponsor, aber das klappt in den meisten Fällen auch nicht wirklich. Da spreche ich dann von eine Ehre für sein Land zu Starten. Diese Sportler Fallen unter den Tisch. Das ist eine Schande für den Profi Sport allgemein...
Das war eine Mannschaft, das sollte die Nationalmannschaft 2022 mal ansehen. Einfach Gaensehaut pur. Grosse Spieler und Persoenlichkeiten, auf beiden Seiten.
Brilliante Bilder, in dieser Qualität habe ich das 54er Finale noch nie gesehen, ich wusste nicht mal, dass es diese Bilder gibt. Alle 5 Tore dabei, Danke fürs hochladen. Angefangen mit dem Einlaufen ist das ein super Qualitäts Zeitzeugnis, der Kommentar sowieso.
Ein Dokument der Zeit bis zur letzten Sekunde. Nationalhymne…11:18min😳😳 Ich hab’s erst nochmal hören müssen …🎶 „… in der Welt“. Wer singt da eigentlich in. Bern?
This is almost the best final I have ever seen, played by two sides with all strength and enthusiasm, and they all create chances and do not waste time as they do in our days . Germany plays without tension from Hungary, which was the strongest team in the tournament and who already beat Germany by 8 goals in the first round. This final enters the top 5 without any doubts.
A great game with many touches of skill I didn't realise players were capable of at that time. The main surprise was how heavy the old footballs were and subsequently how much effort had to be put in to get any power off the boot. Thanks for the post.
This has to be the most exciting WC final ever. Thanks for the colourized highlights. I'd read somewhere that Puskas played while injured, and that was mainly why Hungary ran out of steam after 60' Also, that save in the 78th minute would probably be a penalty today
main reason why hungarians ran out of steam (sooner than germans) was that the pitch was soaking wet at the start of the game and germans used their new adidas boots with longer studs
@@robespierre62 What germans used were drugs, and Puskas played injured because the germans took care about it in the group stage... Puskas score a legal goal that didn't count, the second german goal, on the contrary, counted although the hungarian keeper was fouled clamorously... people here are talking with amazement because of the quality of the footage, which is great, but the game itself is one of the most appalling moments in football history
@@JulioLeonFandinho result was and even today surely is a disappointment for every football romantics, but Warsaw pact countries never used any drugs in sports, did they not ? foul on Grosics wasn't a foul in that era. you have footage of 1st Hun vs Ger game ? with Puskas injury ?
@@Lumivuori Nobody ever talked about those hungarians cheating, but it's been said about those germans... and YES, that's a foul on the keeper, now, 20 years ago, 50 years ago and 60... and then the legit non-called Puskas goal, and Puskas playing injured by the germans in the appalling group stage, basically not playing against the hungarians on that stage, except for injuring Puskas... keep your excuses to yourself, it's not romanticism, it's called a robbery plain and simple, a scandal and a scam
10 Minuten gespielt und schon mehr action passiert wie bei den meisten Finals in 90 Minuten.. was für ein tolles Spiel und was für Chancen Ungarn hatte... tolle Spannung
La mejor final de todos los tiempos y lo dice un argentino con la final fresca de hace tres semanas, pero ésta supera a todas. Increíble la cantidad de oportunidades perdidas por los húngaros, increíble la última chance del partido que tuvo Puskas y que no supo aprovechar, si a lo mejor la hubiera cruzado. Típico no darse por vencido alemán, Hungría tenía más riqueza técnica para generar fútbol y más oportunidades. Oportunidad histórica perdida por Hungría, pero al final prevaleció Alemania.
Fritz Walter didn‘t even know what to do with the trophy. Seems like, he didn‘t think of that scenario before and handed the trophy to Sepp Herberger, his trainer. Sepp refused it immediatly. 2 Gentlemen.
The 2022 World Cup final was absolutely amazing, but I place it as the second best final in World Cup history. To me, that 1954 final remains the best ever.
I read about this historic match and thank you for bringing it to life. When you consider how strong the Hungarian team was for three or four years leading up to this WC Final and that Germany was a defeated and broken nation, this is a remarkable achievement on the part of the German team. This game had exiting goals and near-goals (hit posts, hit crossbars, an apparent goal called back due to off-sides). It could be the most exciting final in WC history (Yes, more exciting than the 1966 Final). Also - Was nice to see the original Jules Rimet Trophy. A national shame that it stolen in 1983 while in the possession of the Brazil football association. Speaking of shame - How about the behavior of the Hungarian goalkeeper at the 10:10 mark?
I think it isn’t a negative way of complaining. He says thank you for the game and bows over, his facial expression is a little weird, as he is exhausted. He was known for sportsmanship, I doubt he’d cry like the kids today. You can also see him in the next shot, shaking the hands of the Germans players
@@robinpasternak6560 He certainly was gracious with the German players but he appeared angry with the referee, perhaps about a call he felt was unjust. I guess we will never know.
@@robinpasternak6560 Grociz was a great sportman and he often visited Germany. In Essen in the Bistro of the stadium there was a large photo from the final Rahn and Grociz in action, both players signed the photo. I hope it is still there. Grociz even played at the World Championship 1962 in Chile. In the same competition Puskas played for Spain.
@@godehardbrysch7905 grosics, like all the other Hungarian players, was degraded and silenced by the Hungarian communists. But I don’t think he complains in this video, it’s just an unfortunate angle
@@robinpasternak6560 Good afternoon Robin, you are absoutely right. These poor Hungarian players, no glory but disdain from many of their countrymen/women, and then degraded by the communists. But I have to say a few words about my country as well. Many years later we learnt how the Hungarians felt, we were quite indifferent. 1955 Hungary was invaded by the Soviet Union. Again people had to suffer. The great European moment came when J. Horn and his Austrian counterpart opened the fence between Austria and Hungary. Freedom came to Europe. Perhaps Orban should be careful to stick to Russia.
As a German that was born 14 years after this triumph it is only a piece of history. Nevertheless this game give me goosebumps like no other, because I know what this victory meant for both Germany and Hungary. In 1954 Germany was recovering from the ashes and the moral collapse that both WWII and the Holocaust had inflicted on it. Hungary was a country run by a Stalin-like party leader that wanted to shine by the triumph of his team. That's why even those who rightly claim that if this final would have been played a 100 times, Hungary would probably have won the 99 other matches, should recognize why it was right, that Germany won. This was like West against East in the early stages of the Cold War. The eleven players from that German team were modest til the end of their lives, even though they had achieved so much for their country. However, for the Hungarian players this one defeat was a nightmare that would follow them til the last day of their lives. Especially their goalkeeper suffered greatly as he was made the scapegoat of that defeat.
Interestingly the Hungarian and German players developed a long-lasting friendship and met very often in later years, especially after the fall of the iron curtain.
Thank you for uploading this video 😊 As a german iam happy to see this historic game in color ❤ The "Wunder von Bern" is a wonderful piece of the national teams football history and of my home countries history 🙂 Thank you very much and greetings from germany 🇩🇪
In that previous match against Hungary, the Germans played with a B team, not with their best players, because they didn't need to win that game to proceed to the next round. I'm 80 years old, Swiss, and I can remember the whole history of the World Cup 1954, when Switzerland beat Italy twice, but lost to the Austrians 5 : 7!!!
Everyone in Germany knows the commentator and his voice. After goals are scored in the Bundesliga, his commentary is played from this final game ("Tooooor, Tooooor, Tooooor" / this means Goal). Simply goose bumps!
Zimmermann was in fact not the West German TV commentator but the radio commentator of the match (that is why he talks and explains such much, his audience back then could not watch :)). The audio track of the TV commentary is lost.
Tremendo partidazo se dio en la final de 1954. Alemania, después de arrancar perdiendo ante Hungría, supo enderezar el camino, y consiguió remontar el partido. Que épico, mis respetos para Alemania.
@@waltertonelli2174 ... Cuando Alemania quedó en el grupo de Hungría, Helmut Schoen, el entrenador alemán, sabía que no podía ganarle a Hungría, el mejor equipo del mundo en esa época, así que en el primer partido del grupo envió a todos los suplentes a enfrentar a los húngaros... el resultado fue victoria húngara por 8 a 3... Alemania ganó sus otros dos encuentros del grupo y pasó a octavos... cada equipo hizo su ruta y llegaron a la final... En la Final, Schoen alineó a todos sus titulares y, a pesar de haber sido dominado por los húngaros que se comieron una cantidad industrial de goles, lograron ganar el Mundial de 1954.. El dopaje lo comenzaron a usar los Brasileños a partir del Mundial de Suecia en 1958... y así siguieron hasta el mundial de 1970.
@@jamesthefirst8790 todos los jugadores alemanos desaparecieron (deportivamente) despues del mundial .... que raro; el partido clasico con inglaterra (inglaterra vs campeones del mundo) lo hice Hungaria
I have watched only goals and ceremony on monochrome news film. I could watch more details of this match. It gave me new sensation and excitement. The match was much closer than my leading knowledge. The history of football might be changed. Very enjoyable to develop my imaginations. Thanks for showing re-color effected image and both great teams anyway! Amazing experience!
My father as a child escaped with my grandfather before the Russian tanks invaded Hungary about two years after this iconic final. They ended up in my home country Brazil. My father passed on to me the passion for World Cups. My first memories of one was in 1970. My maternal grandfather was German emigrating to Argentina before WW II meeting and marrying my maternal grandmother then moved to Brazil with mother as a one year old baby. I feel so fortunate for my World Cup heritage! Thank you so much for this wonderful posting. It fill me with great joy that FIFA created the Puskas award for the most beautiful goal. I’m rooting for Richarlison’s beautiful World Cup goal for the 2022 award.
@fd1000: Es wird oft vergessen, dass Ungarn nicht nur bis 1954 lange Zeit ungeschlagen war, sondern auch nach 1954 bis zum Aufstand - dann zerbrach diese Traumelf wegen Flucht etc.
German goalkeeper was the real star. During 1st phase of groups in that worldcup switzerland 54', Hungary beat Germany 8x3. Some analysts said German coach was purposely saving the best players for the final match. Hungary was the top ranked favorite team because it has all the soccer stars from that age. A truly upset match. Puskas still have the strength to smile after the match when he got a medal and not the cup like everybody was waiting.
I was listening to the radio( no TV) in 1954, to the final, and shocked to the result, as I believed that Hungarian team, was the best in the world, having watched them beating Italy 3-0 in 1953 in the new olimpic stadio in Rome, it was actually 4-0 but the referee blew the final whistle as the ball was kicked in the net, for the forth goal they were immense,
@@ninidima1 Für euch ist selbtverständig, für uns gibt's ein andere Aspekt. Unsere Nationalmanschaft erreichte nie wieder solche Höhe wie diese1954er Goldenmanschaft. Also für uns war's das Top, dewsegen können wir an dieser Manschaft stolz sein, hat dieses 11 ein großes Kult hier.
One of the best worldcup-finals of all times! And it is considered as the real re-start of Germany after the full breakdown and wipeout after WW II. Turek‘s savings as a goalie were really awesome, Hungary didn’t lose one match since more than 4 years, it was the best team of the world… until this final with rain.. without rain we probably didn’t have a chance… since today we call rainy football weather Fritz Walter Wetter… 😉 great final, respect to the team of Hungary! Greetings from Germany 👍
I'm German and once talked to older people who said to me "It was something where pride and connection to each other felt again after the war and got the feeling 'It can really get better again.
We were only 2 years away from 1956 when the NB1(hungarian first class) was stopped by the revolution and most of the team during the chaos went for a tour to South Amerika without the permission of the Hungarian football association therefore were banned by FIFA. Most of the team never returned to Hungary..also the U18 team left Hungary..so a whole generation were gone. Grosics the goalkeeper returned in 1957 but a prisoner carryer was waiting for him at the border..the communists locked him Up for few months but than they released him in order to have him in the national team..
For the first I watched the 1954 World Cup final between Hungary and West Germany at the Wankdorf Stadium in colour on You Tube. Hungary were undoubtedly the favourites having an unbeaten record that stretched back four years to 1950.In 1952,Hungary were also the Olympic gold medallist at the Olympic Games held at Helsinki. Also,Hungary had convincingly beaten English twice at Wembley(6-3) and then at the Nep Stadium(7-1). Surely Hungary were expected to walk over West Germany in the final but that day Sepp Herbeger's charges shocked the football world as West Germany beat Hungary 3-2 with Helmut Rahn scoring the winner. Incredibly it may sound,but that 1954 World Cup defeat to West Germany was Hungary's only defeat from 1950-1956.
My first time viewing highlights of this 1954 Miracle of Bern Final, in beautiful colors & details! Unbelievable skills & goals by both teams. I guess it is a national trait of Die Mannschaft to continue fighting, despite being down 2-0 within the first 15 minutes, and claw their way back to 2-2 before scoring the winning goal with 5 minutes left. It is my humble opinion that this fighting-back trait has been (somewhat) lacking in the Germany teams within the last 10 years or so. All in all, wonderful highlights of a very exciting match!
I suppose they must not be paying the German players enough money LOL. I think they should go back to offering jackshit to the players in order to be playing for the German country, the kind of peanuts they paid Fritz Walter and Co back in 1954. Everything's going down the tubes in terms of Kampfgeist since they get paid wayyy too much. The last German players I saw that Kampfgeist was Schweinsteiger and Lahm, talk about Germans that are tough to take down! If every player had that fire in his belly the Germans would be a hard team to beat this December, but I'm not too hopeful that we can become Weltmeister again.
Yo, please don't use the term "Die Mannschaft" for the '54 team. It's a marketing word made up by some guys in suits I think for the 2018 WC and every German hates it, because it's kind of a symbol for everything wrong with the DFB (German FA) and modern football in general. You'll never meet a German football fan calling our national team "Die Mannschaft". Some random guys heard about the nicknames other teams from different countries have and thought we need this as well. We don't. thanks for your time and Nur der FCS! Boycott Qatar! cheers
@@jlkanne8330 Ich habe mit dem Ausdruck Mannschaft kein Problem! Als Jugendlicher spielte ich Fussball in einer Mannschaft. Frankly I don't give two shits about what anyone thinks about it. So long as they don't change it to Frauenschaft (the Woke cocksuckers are thinking about it I'm sure) I'll be fine with Mannschaft!
The Thing is, the German team has been called "Die Mannschaft" by foreigners for decades. It's like us calling the Brasilians the Selecao. The guys in the suits only wanted to embrace that foreign tradition, they did not invent it. I've been watching foreign news videos on YT about WC 2010 where all reporters called our team Die Mannschaft.
To understand why was it such miracle for the now mighty Germany to beat the now minnow Hungary by a single goal… These two sides already met once at the group stage. Hungary won that game by 8:3… Really Hungary should have walked away with the cup in 1954. The rest is history. The Germany has become a major global football powerhouse, while the Hungarian football was flushed away, and slowly virtually disappeared from the map. That part is very sad…
It's gonna be 70 years since this match and I'm spanish, but I still feel kinda sad of that Hungary Team didn't win that World Cup... Thanks for the video upload!
At the second german goal, Rhan pulled down the hungarian goalkeeper Grosics. This was an abnormál action from Rhan, but the referee did not invalidate the goal. This was big referee's mistake!!!

Mein Opa war begeisterter Fußball fanatiker und Sammler. Auf einer Messe hat er ein Buch zur WM 1954 gekauft. In dem Buch lag ein Briefumschlag in dem ein handgeschriebener Brief mit Unterschrift des hier in dem Video zu hörenden Kommentator Herbert Zimmermann zu finden war. Ein ganz besonderer Zufallsfund ! Vor allem weil unser Familienname auch Zimmermann ist. Mein Opa sagte immer das der Sieg im Finale 1954 für ihn als Jugendlicher das schönste Geschehnis überhaupt war. Deutschland war wieder wer und war positiv in den Schlagzeilen, besonders nach dem 1. und 2.Weltkrieg etwas besonderes.

Mit welch bescheidener Geste der Deutsche Kapitän Fritz Walter den Pokal übernimmt.
Ein ebenso bescheidener und großartiger Spieler ist erst vor kurzem von uns gegangen, Uwe Seeler, der Nachfolger von Fritz Walter, als Spielführer der Deutschen Nationalmannschaft - R.I.P 👏👏👏
Naja gab auch keinen Grund nicht bescheidenen zu sein damals waren du Fußballer keine Stars
Uns uwe bester seiner Zeit machs jut uwe
So sind wir. Deutsche versuchen nicht andere Nationen zu erniedrigen durch übertriebene Feierlichkeiten.
Es war damals aber auch generell nicht üblich, den Pokal hochzustemmen oder irgendwie rumzuzeigen. Einen Pokal glorreich hochzurecken, diese Geste hat erst 1958 und 1962 der Kapitän der Brasilianer erfunden, rein versehentlich, weil die Journalisten unbedingt Fotos machen wollten und er den Pokal mit beiden Händen hochhielt, einfach damit sie ihre Bilder machen können. Er hat dabei, die heute noch übliche Weise, mit einem Pokal siegreich umzugehen, erfunden.
10 лет до этого он очень нескромно зиговал в Гитлерюгенде, а потом скомнягой стал.

He played as a forward in THIS game. So me and my dad had the honor to shake the hand of one of Germanys first ever world champions. I feel honored till today. Btw his brother is Fritz Walter, the captain of Germanys 1954 side. Fritz is even considered to be one of Germanys goats.

Hungary 1954 v Brazil 58 is one of the greatest game that never happened. Hungary played the '58 Cup with a very modified team, without several players who left the country because of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
I am from Brazil, seria um do jogo mais bonito da história do futebol Hungria 1954 e Brasil de 1958 duas seleções que jogava o futebol arte!
Everything communism touches turns to shit.
They were able to play artistic football,however the one in 1954 was brutal .The fight continued in the locker room.
Well, obviosly this was interesting final. I am a bit suspicious that maybe some of Hungarian players were motivated by something else to let Germans to beat them. As you say lot of players left the country, maybe its not just Hungarian revolution, maybe they get some money. Its something strange that they humiliated Germans in group stage 8:3, and than lost the finals, afther they led 2:0 in 8th minute.

Der Kommentator einfach nur herrlich wie mitreißend und Emotional er da berichtet hat einfach legendär.
I'm German but when I hear or read of Puskas, Kocsis, Hidegkuti, Boszik, Csibor, Grosics I start glowing. Several exceptional players in one team, each an all-time great in his own right, but all playing with understated class and humility - the star was the team. The greatest national side ever in my book, at least relative to their peers. Ahead even of Brazil 1958, Brazil 1970, Spain 2010.
Ahead even of Brazil 1958, 1970?? Brazil 1958 had Pelé (young scored 2 goals on final match), Garrincha, Didi, Nilton Santos. Brazil 1970 had Pelé, Jairzinho (best scorer of that cup), Gerson, Carlos Alberto Torres, Rivellino, Tostão.
OK I admit it’s close. In my book Brazil 1958 is a close second, and I wouldn't protest if someone ordered it the other way round. Brazil 1970 is third, just ahead of or jointly with Spain 2010 (Iniesta, Busquets, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Sergio Ramos, David Villa, Puyol, Piquet).
@Henry Kaspar - No, my friend, that's a nonsense. The 1954 Hungary team were clearly NOT ahead of Brazil 1958. Consider the fact that more or less the same 1958 Brazil team went on to win in 1962. So, no one would ever agree with you. But in the list of the greatest teams NEVER TO WIN THE WORLD CUP, I'd rank Hungary as number 1. Here's my top-3 list:
1. Hungary (1954)
2. Netherlands (1974)
3. Brazil (1950)
In some ratings the Hungarian team is rated as number one,all time,as it had a 50 game winning streak,up to the loss against Germany.Of course,these ratings are subjective,but it is broadly acknowledged that during that time period it was the greatest.
@@petergunner8666 - my friend, I assure you that I did not forget about the Brazil team of 1982-1986. You rattle off the names of the Brazil stars as if you've just discovered them. Or as if you have the naive belief that having big names in a team is all that impressive. Surely, you realise (as do most football lovers) that the Brazil team of 1982 was NOT a complete team? In Waldir Peres, they had a mediocre goalkeeper, and while their wing-backs were sensational going forward, they were less than stellar when defending. And the less said about the truly mediocre centre-forward Serginho the better. Finally, I find it baffling that you would even mention the England team of 1990 in this conversation. It was a pretty decent team, but amongst the best in all of footballing history? Really? You've got to be trolling! Either that or ....Well, I won't say it. But I wish you all the best.

It also remains the last time an underdog team went on to win the whole damn tournament, Germany was not seen as a huge soccer powerhouse at the time while Hungary were seen as the greatest team to ever be assembled.
I disagree. England 4 Germany 2 after extra time was a great final. Brazil vs Italy was also a great final. Most other finals weren’t very good.

Of course every german is proud of that team - but has a lot of respect and admiration for that Hungary Team. Unbeliveable how good they played at that this time - looks like they were 20 years ahead of every other Nation. Puskas...He should've been named in a row with Pele and Maradonna, no one came even close to him until Pele came up. You could say that Hungary Team invented modern Football - Skill, pace and a lot of game intelligence.
not only in german football, greatest miracle in the history of football
Alfredo Di Stéfano? And for me Maradona is from a differente era, more close to the actual one.
Germany did not win the game fair. They were on drugs, had better shoes. Also, the offside on the puskas goal is debatable
Good evening Alexander. Helmut Rahn started his career in Katernberg. But obviously you mean Essen, a great town which I love very much, I'm a regular visitor at the Aalto Opera House, (I live near Gummersbach).
Maybe you've read Helmut Rahn's football biography: "Mein Hobby Tore schießen". I always think of him when I enter the old Wallfahrtskirche in Neviges.
The reason? He was married in this church.
He also played for FC Köln, MSV Duisburg and Enschede.
@@franciszekkowalski7160 Good evening Franciszek. "The drugs" was an invention spread by the DDR (GDR), the politicians had hoped that their socialistic friends would win. Indeed, the shoes were better, this has been generally admitted but this is not unfair. FIFA decides which shoes are relevant. You are right, the Puskas offside goal is at least debatable, but this has nothing to do with "win the game not in a fair way." It was a decision by the referee.
The result could have been the other way round, that's a fact for me.
I have always felt pity with the Hungarian team. They played such a wonderful football, in this case they should have become World Cup winners. But it was a tournament and this is a bit different. Italy lost against North Korea (1966) and England against the USA (1950), for Brazil it was a national tragedy compared with Hungary when they lost against Uruguay in Rio 1950.
I have a critical look at my country, hardly anyone had realized what the defeat in the final meant for Hungary and they had a terrible time in 1955 when the Soviets came with their tanks.
But it is a slight consolation, look at the comment by Henry Kaspar, that some of the Hungarian players had enormous success in European teams.
6:41 - 6:46 Look how the Hungarian players dance over the tackles! In modern football each one of them would use this situation to fall over and claim a free kick.
Look also how smart and natural the players looked - mostly with their jerseys tucked in and black boots. No pink, red, white, yellow, purple, green fancy boots - and other stuff that has corrupted the modern game.
There wasnt just so much money at stake but a hell lotta more
The World Cup victory gave Germany a newfound sense of pride and happiness. Some historians even consider this victory a turning point for post-war Germany.
“It was a kind of liberation for the Germans from all the things that weighed down upon them after the Second World War,” wrote German historian Joachim Fest. “July 4, 1954 is in certain aspects the founding day of the German Republic.”
That's the German view. Anyone else who watched that wanted the Nazis to lose.

That Hungarian team was probably the best national team side of all time. What is very revealing in this brilliant video is the respect they commamded from the Germans even after they were beaten. The Germans knew they pulled a miracle, it showed in those hesitant handshakes in the end. Great game, thanks for this footage.
Everybody knew the Hungarians were exceptional. Second and third best were arguably Brazil (finalist in 1950, and already containing bits and pieces of the great 1958 team) and Uruguay (defending champion). Only then came the other European teams, one of them Germany. By the way the 1954 WC was organized, Hungary had to play Brazil and Uruguay in the quarter- and semifinals, being forced into overtime by Uruguay - and this may have contributed to Hungary lacking a bit legs in the final's ultimate 20 minutes.
They beat germani 8-3 in grup, but Puskas, star from Hungary was broken leg hit by Germani player, so why when they met again in final Hongary lost, by that time no doping test, so the other team maybe used...
Ich kann nur in deutscher Sprache antworten und die Worte des deutschen Linksaußen, Wolfgang Schäfer, zitieren. Es war kein "Wunder". Es haben zwei Weltklassemannschaften gegeneinander gespielt, nur eine wusste davon nichts, weil sie nach dem Krieg nie gegeneinander gespielt hatten und Herberger in der Hinrunde eine "Reservetruppe" hat spielen lassen.

First time I’ve seen the highlights of this match and what a great game!
All 4 of Germanys World Cup wins have been special each in their own unique way.
What makes the 1954 triumph so impressive is that before a ball was kicked in the tournament no one would have believed that West Germany would had a chance of winning.
West Germany were unseeded to begin with, today such a thought would be seen as complete folly but in 1954 this was not the case.
They came out as winners despite all odds been stacked against them and to been the first team to defeat the Magical Magyars as they were known in the final was especially a fantastic achievement
That team was an inspiration and showed if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything!
No, they had one thing in common - all cheated and stolen. Only the methods were different.
tell me how 2014 was stolen that argentine striker could have scored and won the world cup tell me how mario götzes goal was cheated also 1990 was a pen and tell me how to cheat in a penalty and stolen doesnt make sense cuz every country tried hard also if you read this and spam nerd emojis look wikipedia and yes i just wrote that cuz idk bye

Thanks for colourising this. After watching highlights for the first time, it's hard to think of a finer World Cup final. Devastating that the exceptional Hungary side couldn't immortalise themselves with the famous trophy, but the Germans have that winning nous every time
OMG first time I've seen this what an incredible video of a fantastic game. Somehow the Germans found a way to beat this awesome Hungarian team. The pace of the game could match any modern game and the German goalie as good as anything I've ever seen between the sticks. The skill on both teams was an eye popper . Any football fan really needs to see this- magical
I'm very surprised how similar the gameplay is to modern football. Overlaps, pass and go, crosses, etc. Basketball from the 50s is so different from today, but football from the 50s feel familiar.
@@One.Zero.One101 Other than the rule changes, the only major change would be that the game is now played by elite athletes. Other than that, as you say, players in all ages played dynamic, progressive football
Incredible game of Toni Turek against this great team of Hungary.
I think I've never seen a better performance by a goalkeeper than Turek's one. He is shamefully forgotten.
Grosics too was great in this match.
Overall one if the most exciting games ever, not only the best final ever. Maybe due also to the great commentator.
Hungary was such a wonderful team, they had so many opportunities, especially in the second half
100% correct!
De raubüberfall in bern.
There is a statue of Toni Turek outside the Fortuna Düsseldorf stadium. At least in Düsseldorf he is not forgotten
Puskas did not have his best game.
His ankle was fractured

Surely that is the greatest save in the history of football!!!!
Indeed, the insanity of that save.
Ich dachte ich wäre durch mit dem Wunder von Bern.
Aber das Video ist echt geil gemacht.
Es nimmt einen Emotional richtig mit.
WOW!!! I am speechless! And yet i have so many things on my mind to say about this clip! First of all, what an incredible job of restoring the film of this match! It almost looks like an HD film from the 50s! And then the commentary.....i've never heard such an emotional & brilliant commentary in my life! And third of all, the game itself.....it is sooo damn exciting.....WOW what an amazing game!!!
I agree!!
This commentary in Germany will never die till the end of time.
Für mich ist der Sieg der erste Weltmeister 1954 mehr als ein Highlight.
Die Bescheidenheit, das auftreten der Spieler, damals ging es nicht nur um das Geld sondern um Eher für sein Vaterland... 🇩🇪😊
Die Reportage ein Kracher, ein Erlebnis hier zuzuhören, freude und Emotionale Begeisterung.
Dieses vermisse ich heute sehr. Heute zählen nur noch Zahlen und Fakten, aber das Spiel geht dadurch immer mehr in den Hintergrund.
Tolle Spielertypen haben der Jungen einen Wert der Bescheidenheit mit auf den Weg. 👍🥰
Der Sport steht heutzutage nicht mehr im Fokus sondern nur der Porfit der damit erzielt werden kann.
Es ist auch egal ob ein Verein das nötige Kapital hat sich den ein oder anderen Spieler zu leisten. Im privaten Bereich stand man schon längst am Pranger, aber nicht die Vereine die mehrere Mio. Schulden haben. Diese kaufe munter weiter.
Man sollte hier von der offiziellen Seite mal einen Riegel vor schieben. Ach ja mancher dieser Herren treiben dieses Rad bis uns unendliche weiter...😣
Gerne möchte ich die Faszination von damals wieder erleben. ♥️
Leider bin ich zu jung gewesen und ich kenne viele Geschichten Rund um diese Weltmeisterschaft von 1954 durch Erzählungen. Ein Traum für viele der Deutschen nimmt seinen Lauf in eine bessere Zukunft.
Ich danke allen die mir durch das erzählen, den Weg gezeigt haben und mich immer fest auf den Boden der Tatsachen zurück zu führen.
Also, bei Spielen als Nationalspieler geht es eigtl. nie um Geld, sondern nur um Ehre. Die Spieler werden für einen Einsatz als Nationalspieler gar nicht bezahlt, und was es an Prämien gibt, selbst für einen Titelgewinn, ist für die bloß ein kleines Taschengeld. Da geht es wirklich nicht um Geld, auch heute noch (zumindest bei den Spielern, beim Verband und seinen Einnahmen natürlich schon, auch wenn die ebenfalls sehr moderat sind im Gegensatz zu Vereinen).
@@SamWinchester000
Das kann man jetzt sehen wie man will. In anderen Sportarten die nicht so im Fokus stehen wieder Fußball, bekommen die Sportler keine Aufwandsentschädigung (kleines Taschengeld, das verdienen die wenigsten Fans noch nicht einmal im Jahr). Wenn die Glück, haben bekommen Sie vom Verband eine Unterkunft gestellt, aber alle anderen Kosten zahlen die Sportler aus eigener Tasche oder Sie finden mit viel Glück einen Sponsor, aber das klappt in den meisten Fällen auch nicht wirklich.
Da spreche ich dann von eine Ehre für sein Land zu Starten.
Diese Sportler Fallen unter den Tisch. Das ist eine Schande für den Profi Sport allgemein...
Amazing. I've heard my grandfather speak of this match, thank you for keeping this gem for us
Das war eine Mannschaft, das sollte die Nationalmannschaft 2022 mal ansehen. Einfach Gaensehaut pur. Grosse Spieler und Persoenlichkeiten, auf beiden Seiten.
Brilliante Bilder, in dieser Qualität habe ich das 54er Finale noch nie gesehen, ich wusste nicht mal, dass es diese Bilder gibt. Alle 5 Tore dabei, Danke fürs hochladen. Angefangen mit dem Einlaufen ist das ein super Qualitäts Zeitzeugnis, der Kommentar sowieso.
Ein Dokument der Zeit bis zur letzten Sekunde.
Nationalhymne…11:18min😳😳 Ich hab’s erst nochmal hören müssen …🎶 „… in der Welt“. Wer singt da eigentlich in. Bern?
This is almost the best final I have ever seen, played by two sides with all strength and enthusiasm, and they all create chances and do not waste time as they do in our days . Germany plays without tension from Hungary, which was the strongest team in the tournament and who already beat Germany by 8 goals in the first round. This final enters the top 5 without any doubts.
A great game with many touches of skill I didn't realise players were capable of at that time. The main surprise was how heavy the old footballs were and subsequently how much effort had to be put in to get any power off the boot. Thanks for the post.
This has to be the most exciting WC final ever. Thanks for the colourized highlights.
I'd read somewhere that Puskas played while injured, and that was mainly why Hungary ran out of steam after 60'
Also, that save in the 78th minute would probably be a penalty today
main reason why hungarians ran out of steam (sooner than germans) was that the pitch was soaking wet at the start of the game and germans used their new adidas boots with longer studs
@@robespierre62 never knew about that. Thanks
@@robespierre62 What germans used were drugs, and Puskas played injured because the germans took care about it in the group stage... Puskas score a legal goal that didn't count, the second german goal, on the contrary, counted although the hungarian keeper was fouled clamorously... people here are talking with amazement because of the quality of the footage, which is great, but the game itself is one of the most appalling moments in football history
@@JulioLeonFandinho result was and even today surely is a disappointment for every football romantics, but Warsaw pact countries never used any drugs in sports, did they not ? foul on Grosics wasn't a foul in that era. you have footage of 1st Hun vs Ger game ? with Puskas injury ?
@@Lumivuori Nobody ever talked about those hungarians cheating, but it's been said about those germans...
and YES, that's a foul on the keeper, now, 20 years ago, 50 years ago and 60...
and then the legit non-called Puskas goal, and Puskas playing injured by the germans in the appalling group stage, basically not playing against the hungarians on that stage, except for injuring Puskas...
keep your excuses to yourself, it's not romanticism, it's called a robbery plain and simple, a scandal and a scam
Der Kommentator ist für mich das Highlight. Schon vor 20 Jahren hab ich es gefeiert
Great footage! Thanks for that! Greets from Germany.
What an absolute screamer of a match. This was a brilliant restoration that made this piece of history incredibly watchable and accessible. Cheers

Tremendo equipo que tenían los húngaros!!!
La mejor final de todos los tiempos y lo dice un argentino con la final fresca de hace tres semanas, pero ésta supera a todas.
Increíble la cantidad de oportunidades perdidas por los húngaros, increíble la última chance del partido que tuvo Puskas y que no supo aprovechar, si a lo mejor la hubiera cruzado.
Típico no darse por vencido alemán, Hungría tenía más riqueza técnica para generar fútbol y más oportunidades.
Oportunidad histórica perdida por Hungría, pero al final prevaleció Alemania.
Fritz Walter didn‘t even know what to do with the trophy. Seems like, he didn‘t think of that scenario before and handed the trophy to Sepp Herberger, his trainer. Sepp refused it immediatly. 2 Gentlemen.

Hungary had an amazing team, I actually feel sorry for them but the Germans were a real team too!
Vonwegen kurwa alles gut 👍
The 2022 World Cup final was absolutely amazing, but I place it as the second best final in World Cup history. To me, that 1954 final remains the best ever.

The greatest football match ever. By a large margin.
Don’t exaggerate
@@vika0194 he’s not 😉 consider the historic context…

Definitely right up there with the best games of all time.
No, the last World Cup Final between Argentina and France was better. 6 goals and a penalty shootout. And no cheating with Pervitin.
This era of Hungary is arguably in the top 5 greatest national sides to ever exist!! Influential! Technical! Just fantastic!
they were THE greatest national side to ever exist
@@gewnurb I definitely wouldn’t doubt it!!!!!!
I read about this historic match and thank you for bringing it to life. When you consider how strong the Hungarian team was for three or four years leading up to this WC Final and that Germany was a defeated and broken nation, this is a remarkable achievement on the part of the German team. This game had exiting goals and near-goals (hit posts, hit crossbars, an apparent goal called back due to off-sides). It could be the most exciting final in WC history (Yes, more exciting than the 1966 Final). Also - Was nice to see the original Jules Rimet Trophy. A national shame that it stolen in 1983 while in the possession of the Brazil football association. Speaking of shame - How about the behavior of the Hungarian goalkeeper at the 10:10 mark?
I think it isn’t a negative way of complaining. He says thank you for the game and bows over, his facial expression is a little weird, as he is exhausted. He was known for sportsmanship, I doubt he’d cry like the kids today. You can also see him in the next shot, shaking the hands of the Germans players
@@robinpasternak6560 He certainly was gracious with the German players but he appeared angry with the referee, perhaps about a call he felt was unjust. I guess we will never know.
@@robinpasternak6560 Grociz was a great sportman and he often visited Germany. In Essen in the Bistro of the stadium there was a large photo from the final Rahn and Grociz in action, both players signed the photo.
I hope it is still there.
Grociz even played at the World Championship 1962 in Chile. In the same competition Puskas played for Spain.
@@godehardbrysch7905 grosics, like all the other Hungarian players, was degraded and silenced by the Hungarian communists. But I don’t think he complains in this video, it’s just an unfortunate angle
@@robinpasternak6560 Good afternoon Robin, you are absoutely right. These poor Hungarian players, no glory but disdain from many of their countrymen/women, and then degraded by the communists.
But I have to say a few words about my country as well. Many years later we learnt how the Hungarians felt, we were quite indifferent.
1955 Hungary was invaded by the Soviet Union. Again people had to suffer. The great European moment came when J. Horn and his Austrian counterpart opened the fence between Austria and Hungary. Freedom came to Europe. Perhaps Orban should be careful to stick to Russia.
Those teens in the stands are now 80 years old if they are still alive. Its amazing to see this historic match
As a German that was born 14 years after this triumph it is only a piece of history. Nevertheless this game give me goosebumps like no other, because I know what this victory meant for both Germany and Hungary. In 1954 Germany was recovering from the ashes and the moral collapse that both WWII and the Holocaust had inflicted on it. Hungary was a country run by a Stalin-like party leader that wanted to shine by the triumph of his team. That's why even those who rightly claim that if this final would have been played a 100 times, Hungary would probably have won the 99 other matches, should recognize why it was right, that Germany won. This was like West against East in the early stages of the Cold War. The eleven players from that German team were modest til the end of their lives, even though they had achieved so much for their country. However, for the Hungarian players this one defeat was a nightmare that would follow them til the last day of their lives. Especially their goalkeeper suffered greatly as he was made the scapegoat of that defeat.
Interestingly the Hungarian and German players developed a long-lasting friendship and met very often in later years, especially after the fall of the iron curtain.
Thank you for uploading this video 😊
As a german iam happy to see this historic game in color ❤
The "Wunder von Bern" is a wonderful piece of the national teams football history and of my home countries history 🙂
Thank you very much and greetings from germany 🇩🇪
One of the best World Cup final of ever ...absolutly incredibile !
It should be noted that Hungry had defeated Germany 8-3 in the group stage already.
Thus Germany winning 3-2 in the final was a shock to everyone.
In that previous match against Hungary, the Germans played with a B team, not with their best players, because they didn't need to win that game to proceed to the next round. I'm 80 years old, Swiss, and I can remember the whole history of the World Cup 1954, when Switzerland beat Italy twice, but lost to the Austrians 5 : 7!!!
Everyone in Germany knows the commentator and his voice. After goals are scored in the Bundesliga, his commentary is played from this final game ("Tooooor, Tooooor, Tooooor" / this means Goal). Simply goose bumps!
What's his name?

Tremendo partidazo se dio en la final de 1954. Alemania, después de arrancar perdiendo ante Hungría, supo enderezar el camino, y consiguió remontar el partido. Que épico, mis respetos para Alemania.
si claro despues del doping
@@waltertonelli2174 ... Cuando Alemania quedó en el grupo de Hungría, Helmut Schoen, el entrenador alemán, sabía que no podía ganarle a Hungría, el mejor equipo del mundo en esa época, así que en el primer partido del grupo envió a todos los suplentes a enfrentar a los húngaros... el resultado fue victoria húngara por 8 a 3... Alemania ganó sus otros dos encuentros del grupo y pasó a octavos... cada equipo hizo su ruta y llegaron a la final... En la Final, Schoen alineó a todos sus titulares y, a pesar de haber sido dominado por los húngaros que se comieron una cantidad industrial de goles, lograron ganar el Mundial de 1954.. El dopaje lo comenzaron a usar los Brasileños a partir del Mundial de Suecia en 1958... y así siguieron hasta el mundial de 1970.

Germany - Italy, Mexico 1970, best game ever.
My father as a child escaped with my grandfather before the Russian tanks invaded Hungary about two years after this iconic final. They ended up in my home country Brazil. My father passed on to me the passion for World Cups. My first memories of one was in 1970. My maternal grandfather was German emigrating to Argentina before WW II meeting and marrying my maternal grandmother then moved to Brazil with mother as a one year old baby. I feel so fortunate for my World Cup heritage! Thank you so much for this wonderful posting. It fill me with great joy that FIFA created the Puskas award for the most beautiful goal. I’m rooting for Richarlison’s beautiful World Cup goal for the 2022 award.
What a final... If time travel becomes a regular thing, I'd watch the game for sure.
Great video thanks for sharing. My late father idolised this Hungarian team and would have loved this. The Magyars were so unlucky to lose on the day.
This final was an epic battle. The film of this game is amazing quality for 1954. Hungary were at their peak about 2 years earlier.

German goalkeeper was the real star. During 1st phase of groups in that worldcup switzerland 54', Hungary beat Germany 8x3. Some analysts said German coach was purposely saving the best players for the final match. Hungary was the top ranked favorite team because it has all the soccer stars from that age. A truly upset match. Puskas still have the strength to smile after the match when he got a medal and not the cup like everybody was waiting.
magnifico trabajo....grande Hungría Grande Alemania...
Amazing game !!! Wish all world cup finals could be like this !!! Awesome commentary too :)
I was listening to the radio( no TV) in 1954, to the final, and shocked to the result, as I believed that Hungarian team, was the best in the world, having watched them beating Italy 3-0 in 1953 in the new olimpic stadio in Rome, it was actually 4-0 but the referee blew the final whistle as the ball was kicked in the net, for the forth goal they were immense,
One of the greatest games in history! Thank you

Well, they used the same drugs as the soldiers in WorldWar2. Now they won.
We were only 2 years away from 1956 when the NB1(hungarian first class) was stopped by the revolution and most of the team during the chaos went for a tour to South Amerika without the permission of the Hungarian football association therefore were banned by FIFA. Most of the team never returned to Hungary..also the U18 team left Hungary..so a whole generation were gone.

One of the great WC finals, looks great colourised. Top commentary too.
For the first I watched the 1954 World Cup final between Hungary and West Germany at the Wankdorf Stadium in colour on You Tube.
Hungary were undoubtedly the favourites having an unbeaten record that stretched back four years to 1950.In 1952,Hungary were also the Olympic gold medallist at the Olympic Games held at Helsinki.
Also,Hungary had convincingly beaten English twice at Wembley(6-3) and then at the Nep Stadium(7-1).
Surely Hungary were expected to walk over West Germany in the final but that day Sepp Herbeger's charges shocked the football world as West Germany beat Hungary 3-2 with Helmut Rahn scoring the winner.
Incredibly it may sound,but that 1954 World Cup defeat to West Germany was Hungary's only defeat from 1950-1956.
Puedes no saber nada del idioma alemán, pero Dios sabe que emocionante fue escuchar la narración del tercer gol teutón! 🤩

Wenn man bei einer Aufzeichnung eines Ereignisses das schon über 70 Jahre zurück liegt Gänsehaut bekommt, ist es unbeschreiblich.
My first time viewing highlights of this 1954 Miracle of Bern Final, in beautiful colors & details! Unbelievable skills & goals by both teams. I guess it is a national trait of Die Mannschaft to continue fighting, despite being down 2-0 within the first 15 minutes, and claw their way back to 2-2 before scoring the winning goal with 5 minutes left. It is my humble opinion that this fighting-back trait has been (somewhat) lacking in the Germany teams within the last 10 years or so. All in all, wonderful highlights of a very exciting match!
I suppose they must not be paying the German players enough money LOL. I think they should go back to offering jackshit to the players in order to be playing for the German country, the kind of peanuts they paid Fritz Walter and Co back in 1954. Everything's going down the tubes in terms of Kampfgeist since they get paid wayyy too much. The last German players I saw that Kampfgeist was Schweinsteiger and Lahm, talk about Germans that are tough to take down! If every player had that fire in his belly the Germans would be a hard team to beat this December, but I'm not too hopeful that we can become Weltmeister again.
Yo, please don't use the term "Die Mannschaft" for the '54 team. It's a marketing word made up by some guys in suits I think for the 2018 WC and every German hates it, because it's kind of a symbol for everything wrong with the DFB (German FA) and modern football in general. You'll never meet a German football fan calling our national team "Die Mannschaft". Some random guys heard about the nicknames other teams from different countries have and thought we need this as well. We don't. thanks for your time and Nur der FCS! Boycott Qatar! cheers

The Thing is, the German team has been called "Die Mannschaft" by foreigners for decades. It's like us calling the Brasilians the Selecao. The guys in the suits only wanted to embrace that foreign tradition, they did not invent it.
I've been watching foreign news videos on YT about WC 2010 where all reporters called our team Die Mannschaft.
@@SamWinchester000 alright, didn't know that. but where does it come from then?
The way writers talk about this match, vs this video, Germany had a lot more chances at goal than it's told.
To understand why was it such miracle for the now mighty Germany to beat the now minnow Hungary by a single goal… These two sides already met once at the group stage. Hungary won that game by 8:3… Really Hungary should have walked away with the cup in 1954. The rest is history. The Germany has become a major global football powerhouse, while the Hungarian football was flushed away, and slowly virtually disappeared from the map. That part is very sad…
It's gonna be 70 years since this match and I'm spanish, but I still feel kinda sad of that Hungary Team didn't win that World Cup... Thanks for the video upload!
At the second german goal, Rhan pulled down the hungarian goalkeeper Grosics. This was an abnormál action from Rhan, but the referee did not invalidate the goal. This was big referee's mistake!!!
