West Germany 1954

Germany 1954 WC Final
Germany 1954 World Cup Final
 

Coach: Sepp Herberger
Achievements: wolrd Cup 1954
Key Players: F. Walter, Rahn, Morlock, Schafer
Star Player: Fritz Walter
Formation: W-M


Maybe cast as the bad guys that prevented the magical Hungarians winning the World Cup but this was also a great team. Captain (and former POW) Fritz Walter is one of the game's greatest players, Rahn, Morlock and Schafer were also world class players. Their win in their first post-war World Cup was a key point in rebuilding the national image of Germany after the war.Helped by a pair of revolutionary Adidas boots and a rainy day in Berne, this was nonetheless a team that deserved their moment.
