France Germany was one of the best WC matches in history, the semi-final in 1982.
1-1 after full time, then France goes up 3-1 in first half of ET, but Germany comes back and ties it with one in the first half, and then in second half of et, a great overhead kick by Fischer, then wins in penalties.
Also, incident between Schumacher and Battiston, Schumacher knocking him out.
The British announcer had no problem showing his bias against the Germans in this clip...especially complaining on and on about the goalies moving on the penalties before the kicks, especially in the last 30 seconds when he calls the German win "totally unsatisfactory" at the very end.
This was the first WC game decided on penalties, maybe that was the cause his frustration, but was pretty comical to hear, as most every penalty shootout has done the same.
