THE GUARDIAN Monday July 9 1990 1 i i i rr ri West Germany 1 Argentina 0 18 SPORTS NEWS David Lacoy In Rome Ian Ridtoy In Roma broke away quickly and in the next instant Sensini and VbUer were closing in on each other at the other end. Sensini appeared to go for the ball. Certainly there appeared to be no intention of taking the man, because the defender had time and the danger was not acute. But ViSller went down over Sensini's lunge, the penalty was given and Brehme calmly stroked the ball past Goycochea's right hand. The fury of Argentina's reaction to the decision stemmed from the belief that even with 10 men, after the dismissal of Motizon in the 64th minute, they were still capable of forcing extra-time and another penalty competition, the winning of which had taken them through both the quarter-finals and the semi-finals.

Dull though this ambition was, it had something to do with the fact that the holders began the final with four players unavailable through suspension, including Claudio Can-iggia, the one forward with the speed to unsettle the German defence. Dezotti was not in Can-iggia's class and while Burru-chaga offered the occasional threat Maradona, closely marked by Buchwald, was rarely an influence. Bereft of Caniggja and surrounded by Caligu-las, Argentina defended with good discipline until Monzon caught Klinsmann with a dreadful hack above the knee after the German striker had gathered a return pass from Matthaus and was starting to accelerate on the right wing. Monzon, who had only been on the field for 15 minutes, had to go, but Voller, who had already been cautioned for a foul on Maradona, was lucky to stay on the field after catching the same player in the face with a wayward elbow. The referee ignored Maradona's complaints; the penalty of crying wolf too often.

The West Germans showed only a few glimpses of the drive, pace and power that had excited the Milanese crowds in the early rounds. Little Thomas Hassler was their busiest player, always searching for space in the crowded areas near the Argentinian goal, and Pierre Littbarski produced the game's one outstanding individ Two sides of the finale Voller and MattMus, clasping the trophy, lead German celebrations as the Argentinians argue on, led by the bearded Batista I HE West Germans won the World Cup for the third time last night and Rome has a new Emperor, Franz Becken- bauer, who led his team back from their disappointment of losing to Argentina in the 1986 final and enabled them to enjoy the triumphant moment he had experienced as a player in captaining the national team to success in the 1974 tournament. West Germany deserved their success because from the beginning of the 1990 World Cup they had played fast, open attacking football and consistently achieved more penetration than any of their rivals. Beckenbauer can now retire from the post of West German team chief, which he accepted reluctantly six years ago, with honour. In taking the Germans to two successive finals and winning the second he has reestablished the chain of command broken by the abrupt departure of Jupp Derwall after the European Championship failures of 1984.

Now Berti Vogts, the Kaiser's batman, can take over with confidence. What a pity last night's final failed so completely to match the winners' overall achievement. The success may have been imperial but the game was plebeian for the most part and ended in near-anarchy. After defending dully but solidly Argentina were beaten by a penalty which typified the indifferent refereeing of the tournament as a whole and ended with nine men on the field after Ed-gardo Codesal had sent off Pedro Moiuon, the first man ever to be dismissed in a World Cup final, and Gustavo Dezotti. The tournament that was supposed to eradicate cynical fouls and general unpleasantness ended with Codesal surrounded by protesting losers.

Diego Maradona, his World Cup career over, sat quietly away from the hubbub, no doubt contemplating the contrast between last night's denouement and his joyous moment four years earlier when he had inspired a rather better Argentinian team to victory over the Germans in a far superior game of football. It has been even harder to love the Argentinians this time. They came to the final with a long list of previous convictions, having committed more fouls (152) and received more cautions (19) than any other team in the tournament. Maradona himself had been fouled 48 times but was never going to get any sympathy because people remembered his crafty handball against the Soviet Union in Naples and had grown weary of the agonising, the grimaces and the constant appeals to the Deity. The Olympic Stadium loathed Maradona last night and the loathing was shrill and long.

It was like Orwell's Two-minute Hate, often repeated. Sadly, because he has been one of the game's outstanding talents, but fittingly too, he ended his last World Cup final with a yellow card for one last argument, this on behalf of Dezotti whose dismissal for grabbing Kohler round the neck three minutes from the end and wrestling him to the ground was a bit hard. By then, however, Codesal had almost lost control of the game, such was the strength of Argentinian feeling on the subject of the penalty with which Andreas Brehme won the cup for the West Germans. In the 84th minute Calderon, the other Argentinian substitute, appeared to have reasonable claims for a penalty as he had a leg hooked away on the corner of the German area.

Franz Beckenbauer, 'though, summed it up.

"They didn't try to participate," he said of Argentina. "They tried to destroy the game, to make it a non-game." They almost succeeded in making it a non-non game. "I think the first sending off was a logical consequence of their game. The penalty wasn't the key point. We would have scored a goal in any case.

"We dominated the match from the beginning and our goal was never in any danger. One-nil on a penalty falsifies the result But we have played well in all seven matches, always to a very high level. No team, I think, has deserved it as much as the German." And a united Germany in 1994? "I think it will be unbeatable and I am sorry about that for the rest of the world," he said with a smile. It was the best of finales for Beckenbauer, equalling Mario Zagalo's record for Brazil of winning the World Cup as player and coach, before handing over to Berti Vogts. By the finals in the United States in 1994 he may have a new challenge.

Beckenbauer is being touted as a member of a consortium being formed to make the US a force, but not as coach, he said. "But no one has said anything officially to me. If they want to talk to me they have my telephone number." Bilardo, too, confirmed he would stand down as coach, although in South America there are doubts about that. Anyone who uses bland descriptions such as "difficult" and "unfortunate" about last night's events has Argentina carved on his heart. Diego Maradona, confirming he had played his last international, accused the referee Edgardo Codesal of giving a penalty to avoid a shoot-out and "make the Italians, Fifa and everybody happy.

There was something fishy." He added: "West Germany were clearly better but they couldn't score." Among those receiving awards at the closing ceremony was Bobby Robson. England were awarded Fifa's Fair Play Trophy for finishing with the best disciplinary record. did not actually go to a shootout. In 1994, though, the sendings off will probably outnumber the non-penalty goals. Football's real currency has become dangerously rare and the balance between attack and defence has become tilted one way.

Things are unlikely to change, particularly in Argentina. All their journalists were concerned about last night was the justice or otherwise of the penalty. And, yesterday morning, there was a special press match between Argentina and Germany; the Argentinians even had a man sent off for fouling in that.

loses as two are sent off in grim spectacle after the ritual argument so calmly that one thought he might be colour blind and might have misread the card. He knew, all right. But did he care? Business is business; fair cop, guv; bang to rights. Were the Germans any better? Of course, but perhaps only because they had the confidence to play the game (if you will forgive this quaint old phrase) more of the time. When Maradona came into the reckoning it was different.

His personality bestrode this match, not because of anything he did but because of what he is, has done and might have done. The Italians (excepting the Neapoli ual moment when he swerved past three defenders early in the second half before shooting wide. Matthaus's contribution was solid rather than inspirational and for much of the game the Germans relied on free-kicks and centres, especially when they were provided by Brehme, for their scoring chances. Voller often managed to get on the end of these but his finishing was wayward. Before the penalty Augenth-aler wasted West Germany's best chance.

Matthaus's searching centre from the right found him in space in the penalty area with only Goycochea barring the way, but the sweeper's first touch was poor and enabled the goalkeeper to avert the danger with his legs, over which Au-genthaler then threw himself, vainly appealing for a penalty. The match disintegrated after that. Cautious, crabby and a poor spectacle, it typified the way much of the tournament had gone. The World Cup began with Argentina losing to Cameroon, who finished with nine men on the field, and ended with the holders relinquishing the trophy after being similarly reduced in numbers by red cards. There must be a better way of playing football.

The climax of the 1990 World Cup was an awful demonstration of football. If conducted in private on Hackney Marshes on a Sunday morning, it would have made the players a bit sheepish in the pub afterwards. As an example to set the globe, it was unspeakable.
