Talk:1974 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA–CONMEBOL play-off)

East Germany threatened to not play the WC in West Germany ?
This quote "especially by East Germany which was already classified and threatened not to appear at the World Cup event ." I have difficulties to believe. Normally the GDR-state didn't care much about Football, but as it was hosted in West Germany GFR, the communist sport bosses decided to make a real effort in order to qualify. And as they did, why would they threathen to not participate. (beside the point, but still, East Germany defeated West Germany 1-0, goal scored by Jürgen Sparwasser) I can manage Spanish, but still doubt this "La decisión de la URSS fue apoyada por países-satélite, en especial por Alemania Oriental que ya estaba clasificada y amenazaba con no presentarse al evento mundialista. No así Polonia , que desde un principio manifestó su intención de acudir al Mundial de Alemania Occidental 1974,hicieran los rusos lo que hicieran" I don't distrust the source in general, but how reliable is that part really ? Could this statement about GDR (and Poland) possibly be found in another source ? Boeing720 (talk) 02:08, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
