(FILES) Germany's soccer star and team captain Franz Beckenbauer receives the World Soccer Cup won by his team after a 2-1 victory over Holland on July 7, 1974 at Munich's Olympic stadium, as West Germany president Walter Scheel (L) applauds. FIFA, under its new president, the Brazilian Joao Havelange, decided to make use of the infrastructure from the 1972 Munich Olympic Games and selected the Federal Republic of Germany to host the 1974 tournament. The Netherlands were the big surprise. They astonished everyone with their "total football", a revolution in which all players attacked and defended in the style of Ajax Amsterdam, who were dominating European football at the time. At the helm of this formidable team was Johan Cruyff. (Photo by AFP via Getty Images)
