I've read somewhere Rummenigge say that after the incident with Batiston, the German team was no longer motivated/hyped to win the final match against Italy. Their team spirit had deflated after that dirty victory over France!

@@wallpaper2a551 if that's true, I guess there conscience was judging them.

Well considering what happened to suarez who was banned for 3-4 months just for bitting an opponent, this was much bigger offence probably 8-9 months like cantona got. Perhaps the biggest letoff of a player in WC for any violent conduct

@@theophilusakhimie That quote from Rummenigge came much later in his life......he said they(the Germans) were feeling emotionally drained after having played such a dramatic semi-final.

@@wallpaper2a551 and spend too much energy

Even Cologne fans admitted this.

What about Higuaín in Brasil world cup?

@@pablosendra6779 Neuer got the ball first so it was fine. This was pure criminal.

@@brrrrrtenjoyer ahaha yes imagine comparing neuer to schumacher basically he was a maldini compared to a sergio ramos

@@brrrrrtenjoyer so it's fine if you touch the ball first and then shoot him with a weapon. I know football rules but I still think it's criminal

Defo red

A penalty,the ref didnt even speak to Schumacher,nowadays you would be charged with assault,cowardly challenge

it wasn't a penalty Battiston had already finished, but Schumacher deserved a red card

​@@nowherenearby9461finish or not it was a foul in the penalty area. So it was a penalty. Imagine fouls don't count because the ball his out or because the player injured already made the pass. Are you serious?

@@clementpistre9031 have you ever heard of something named Advantage Rule? If the advantage is given and the play is concluded, the ref cannot go back and give the foul, but he can still penalize the player who made the foul (which didnt count bc of advantage) with a yellow/red card, and that's what should've happened

Laying on the pitch, laying. Hence to lay:)

@@Mrabandab lol

You forgot Keeper: “don’t forget your 4 teeth

@@Mrabandab my bad

In his autobiography, he later mentioned that he didn't go to check on Battiston because the French players were gesturing to him dangerously.

Accident

DerHorrorTyp lol no 😂

I presume they mean the ref made an accidentally terrible call

Don't forget De Jong kungfu kick to Xabi Alonso in 2010 World Cup Final

Well, football/soccer back in the old days was brutal. And even a few years later there were heavy fouls which ones didn't get anything.

Proper men with proper games of footy these. Not the fake PR diving millionaires frauds that’s dominate the game now.

thats a bit harsh for an offensive foul against the goalkeeper, isnt it?

Shumacher played very dangerous.

It wasnt intentional

@@dahannes6739 why u arguing here , he already accepted on record that it was intentional

@@anandmishra1757 why you lying

Disgusting response. Schumacher should have been sent home from the world cup and France should have beat Germany in this game. What a disgrace that Schumacher now will forever be more remembered for this incident than anything else. Poor Battiston, there is no excuse for this and it is unbelievable he was not given a red card and Battiston a penalty here.

The downside of Italy winning is that the Great Karl Heinz Rommenigeh was left trophyless, which is a shame.

You probably forgot Claudio Gentile?

@@vanlendl1 Gentile was absolutely incredible. How can you ever forget a player like that. Even Glenn...

@@pedramborhan Gentile was a great cheater and vicious player without technical skills. The proof he was a very limited defender is the number of fouls he did. 23 fouls on Maradona for an example. 23 in one game. Insane. If Gentile was so strong, he needn't to foul so much. And he is proud of that furthermore. This guy was back right lol. Compared his weak level to the back left il bello Antonio Cabrini. Cabrini was 100 time better than this nasty man of Gentile in defense and offense and needn't to cheat thanks to these great skills. Same for Scirea or Tardelli. 2 Great players. If Gentile didn't play at Juve (blocco Juve), he wouldn't have played for Italy. I hate this player and this man.

@@pedramborhan Gentile should have been sent off against Brazil and Argentina . In the end the cheaters had to face each other but the true final should have been Brazil - France

What did you expect? A British was commenting the match

You should go to jail for youre haircut

For real he runs at him like a Bull

@@UchihaFabio i know in south america such lowlife low class behavior is normal lol

Schumacher is still known as the Butcher of Seville in France

@@HaOtep Does he own a Butcher's Shop there?

@@Ghost-by2wp lol...nice one 🤣🤣

nope the french hate you for WWII

@@casius6435 nice joke but not funny...schumacher could of killed him

I forgot about that. France essentially played 10 vs 11, and Schumacher and the German team were rewarded for this thuggery.

We don't finish at 10 vs 11, we had one subsitute (first change was Genghini at 50' injuried by Kaltz, subituted... by Battiston) But after Schumacher attack on Battiston, Hidalgo had no midfield anymore. Lopez (defender) entered as midfield but had no impact on game. End of match was difficult for french team because of early subsitute with loss physical freshness.

It definitely is a heavyweight!

This mans voice is REALLY ANNOYING!

Not at all. Except for euro 84 (won at home against second-tier teams) they won nothing for 16 years. And they even failed at qualifying for two world cups in a row. They started winning only when they coupled physical strength of players from former colonies and tactical wisdom learnt in the italian serie A during the 90s.

😂😂😆😆😆😆😆

Yeah *West Germany 🇩🇪

Lol😂😂

idk but I think so

Yeah🤣🤣

They shouldn't have even gotten out the first round. W Germany v Austria was probably the most shameful match in tournament history

if it wasnt for harold tho he's a great keepet

Yes, it was DEE-licious when L'Azzuri beat the lederhosen off of them in the final.

@@kropcise I disagree. Great players don't need to assault other players to get advantage, and was he greater than Platini, Giresse, Zico or Rossi? I don't think so. I am not even sure Germany should have gotten out of the two group stages that year. They were not a better team than France, Italy, Brazil, England or Poland that year in my opinion.

Why? It was just a goal. Moments are supposed to be out of character unsportsmanlike moments

I've read somewhere Rummenigge say that after the incident with Batiston, the German team was no longer motivated/hyped to win the final match against Italy. Their team spirit had deflated after that dirty victory over France!

Two broken teeth Broken vertebrae

@@UchihaFabiohe was in coma too 😨

The Fritzes have bribed many, many referees. The are an unscrupulous race of people. Terrible.!

1982, things were different

Corruption. They all wanted a RFA vs Italy game. France wasn't big enough on the footballing stage at the time. Things are going our way since 1998. We needed 98 to finish the grieving process.

he should have gotten jail

@@Raphcansing and always denied that he did it on purpose, said he was going for the ball. I say he's a liar.

when did he admit it was on purpose?

Belanda penjajah

I guess every famous Schumacher is called "Schumi", aren't they?

@@totowolff69420 u know who he’s talking about

# 2 Zico being grabbed by the maillo : the ref is from Israel , that's was all 😞

Actually It was not given penalty because the game was interrupted before that, probably for offside

I don't think so. Italy was too strong for every other team. After getting rid of Argentina and Brasil, Italy was absolutely unstoppable.

@@wolfeddie it was a Improvement step by step of Italy

@@lexkanyima2195 I know that. I lived that world cup, i was a 14 years old italian boy. I said something else: i said that (after all the step by step...) after beating argentina and brasil, at that point, italy was the strongest team in the tournament and would have beaten any other team; germany, france, whatever.

@@wolfeddie but it is also redemption for Italy how they went through

@@lexkanyima2195 I agree. But that's not the point. I just answered to Ahmad Alkhalaf who claimed that, had France won the semifinal, the final result might have been different. I disagree on that. Got it now?

Even the greatest strikers miss under pressure, but he did flub an easy one, for sure.

They were all bribed by the Fritzes.

They deserve to lose like that

Don't you mean 'until'?

imola right? btw until

@@abhishekbhadauria4769 stop saying until!

@@MrBen51309 stop saying until!

@@miscellaneoussarnian5282 look at the year of each event and you'll get why it's "until" and not "since"

Care to elaborate what happened at the final Want to know when Karma showed up

@Uchiha Fabio Germany lost the final 3-1. The next world cup Germany lost 3-2 in the final. They finally won in 1990, but Schumacher was not a part of the squad.

@@jackdaniel2457 huh. Thank Karma for that

what did he sayyyy

this was the 80s when players regularly break each others leg

@@fumie4996 yeah but breaking each other teeth and putting them in coma I believe was more rare still

In Germany Beckenbauelr is called "the Kaiser", so he got his share of fame. The German goal getter of that time is totally underrated internationally: Gerd "Chubby little" Mueller. He had an outstanding instinct.

@@u.z.9383 yeah and also earlier there was a film called "Der Kaiser" playing, I immediately knew it was Franz Beckenbauer

Rummenigge

Mean business.

It was accidental

@@dahannes6739 So een if it was accidental, it was still an easy red card and penalty, besides it was obvious that goalkeeper was going for the player.

If that's the case, Sergio Ramos, Pepe and a bunch of other thugs would have served years of suspension too. But yeah, things this are "frowned upon" nowadays.

He blind

He is brave but he isn't a suicidal

Orrrr, not. But please, since many happen every day, it should take about 5 seconds for you back up this statement with a series of links to videos.

perhaps, consider a name change?

He was a true professional

I hope it did. If so he deserved it.

@@royhutchinson7714 yes he was already active at the WC 1978 and Euro 1980, and he was a serious contender for the 1982 WC final, but then he made this mistake and it was all over...

He was 46. Too old for a referee.

FYI, Schumacher is still alive, and the referee passed away in 2020.

Penal y expulsión, la salida fue muy imprudente e innecesariamente violenta, pero bueno los alemanes siempre han sido muy beneficiados. En ese mismo mundial hicieron un pacto con Autria para dejar fuera a Argelia.
