1974: The World Cup in the Shadow of the Cold War

The 1974 World Cup in West Germany was much more than a tournament: it was the theater of the Cold War, with football taking center stage. East and West Germany faced each other in the opening round, the only competitive match the two nations ever played. East Germany's surprising 1–0 victory in Hamburg was more than just a sporting achievement: it was broadcast around the world as a symbolic coup in an age of walls, spies, and propaganda. In the same tournament, Chile qualified after the USSR refused to play in a stadium recently used by the Pinochet regime as a prison and execution site. On the pitch, the football was equally dramatic: Johan Cruyff's Netherlands lit up the tournament with "Total Football"—high pressing, fluidity, and interchangeable roles—while the hosts, led by Beckenbauer and striker Gerd Müller, adopted a more controlled and ruthless style that ultimately led them to victory in Munich.

Behind the scenes, Adidas was quietly transforming the World Cup into a modern global event. The black-and-white, polyurethane-coated Adidas-branded Telstar Durlast became the visual symbol of 1970s football, designed to stand out on television screens. Most teams wore Adidas gear, even when the logo wasn't visible: West Germany's kit was produced by Erima, an Adidas subsidiary, and both finalists played in three-striped designs. The brand rivalry even surfaced on Cruyff's jersey: a Puma athlete, he refused to wear the three Adidas stripes and demanded a special Dutch jersey with only two stripes. Amid Cold War-era boycotts, dictators threatening players, Orange dreams, German efficiency, and a sportswear giant poised to conquer the stage, the 1974 World Cup became the model for what football would become from then on: an inextricable intertwining of sport, politics, and global branding.
