The season 1974-75 of the European Cup football (soccer) club tournament was won by for the second consecutive time by Bayern Munich in the final against Leeds United.Many Leeds United fans feel disgruntled due to Refereeing Decisions made during the final. Peter Lorimer had an effort disallowed due to an offside decision given against captain Billy Bremner. The the referee also turned down two English claims for a penalty firstly when Franz Beckenbauer looked to have handled the ball inside the penalty area and then when the Bayern captain tripped Alan Clarke. In respose to these decisions Leeds fans ripped out seats at the Parc des Princes. This resulted in Leeds receiving a three-year European ban.\n\nWhen you talk about bribes I had a cousin once who played for Wolves. They had to play Leeds in the last match of the season and if Leeds won they would be champions. A member of the Wolves team was approached by a member of the Leeds team on the pitch (No names) and suggested that it would be worth £1000 a man if they lost (a fortune in those days). He reported this to his team mates who were shocked and went on to beat Leeds who finished runners up.

Im sure but think it was in the 70s they said during the match tonight. i think it was 1972 when celtic got to  European Cup semi-final. and rangers won the European Cup-Winners' Cup

The whole thing started because Cruz would flip the Germans off (he would kiss his outstretched middle finger) after every single Argentinian penalty kick that went in. Borroski (GER) did the same after his penalty kick and it pissed the players off even more when they lost. The unused substitute Leandro Cufre (ARG) got his tall blond German players mixed-up and ended up kicking Per Mertesacker (GER) in the crotch after his team lost, thereby starting the brawl on the field. Oliver Beerhoff was trying to shield his players after Mertesacker went down and ended up getting some of the Argentinian frustration focused on him. \n\nhttp://www.bild.t-online.de/BTO/sport/wm2006/aktuell/07/01/pruegel-gauchos/pruegel-gauchos.html\n\nThe red and yellow cards carry a hefty fine ($$$) from FIFA that the country has to pay. It gives the countries more incentives to keep their player in check.

Steaua Bucureşti won the champions Cup in 1986 and there were the first eastern european team to do so. They bet Barcelona in the final in penalties. And i do believe the final was on in Spain in Sevilla i do believe

All in the name of money my friend.When the European Cup inugarated in 1956 the participants were the domestic Champions of all the European Leagues.But as Leagues such as Serie A,La Liga and The English League(now the Premiership) got stronger UEFA saw they could male money out of it by inviting the 2nd,3rd/4th place teams into the competition.And with Television and the G14 group this competition is one big money spinner that is worth £10m just for going into the Group Stage.This is the biggest Club Football Competition in the World.

I am sure there was,but England still enoys me,because they had an agreement with Germany not to apply for the World Cup.Germany gave them 1996.

Same place the others went. FIFA yucked it up big-time, and the Germans further complicated it with microchip cards, lotteries for ticket sales and more. Beware of buying from a scalper, you might not get it. There will be plenty of empty seats and lots of fights at the gates thanks to FIFA.

Well the refs have to be paid.  But I don't think they are being bribed.  Maybe the teams try to bribe the refs but you don't want to get in such a situation because if it comes out...then all hell breaks loose

Ja, er ist überbewertet ... was hat er schon für den deutschen Fußball getan??? ... er hat auch den 1.FC Köln nicht vor dem Abstieg retten können!\n\nLukas Podolski ist ein bestimmt ein guter Fußballer - aber er wird von den Medien zu einer Art "Popstar" gemacht. Ich finde das nicht gut - auch nicht für ihn. Er soll in Ruhe Fußball spielen und viele Tore machen.\n\nGrüße aus Österreich!

beckenbauer - he won it as a player and captain in 1974 and as a coach in 1990 when Germany(West Germany perhaps) defeated Argentina 1 nil in final with an Andreas Brehme penalty

I think It was the 1974 world cup final match v West germany which ended 2-1 for the germans.

Not sending off, or even yellow carding German goalkeeper Harold Schumacher for his vile 'assault' on the French player in the semi-final in 1982 !\nTo make matters worse he was the 'hero' in the subsequent penalty shoot out.

No. Denmark's Peter Schmeichel almost did a few times in the 1998 WC, but that's only because they would use him to attack on corner and free kicks sometimes if they were behind.

Alexander George Cheyne (ref got spelling wrong) scored the winner for SCOTLAND direct from a corner in 89th minute of a British Championship game against England on 13th April 1929.\n\nThe match was played at Hampden Park in front of 110512 people.\n\nWorth a beer from all you MX fantasy football managers?

Xtasis is correct, it is Eric Cantona, however he is wrong about the karate kick - it was actually on a supporter who called him a French git after being sent off.\n\nHe got a 9 month ban.\n\nHe is very controversial but a class player.
