The number of Dutch passes before the foul, in the opening seconds of the 1974 World Cup final. West Germany did not touch the ball at any point in the move.
The idea
Rinus Michels developed the approach at Ajax between 1965 and 1971 and applied it to the national side. Its principle was positional interchange: any outfield player could occupy any role, with the shape maintained by whoever was nearest.
It required exceptional fitness and a very high defensive line, and it depended on Johan Cruyff, who organised the movement from inside the pitch.
The tournament
The Netherlands played six matches before the final, conceding one goal, an own goal against Bulgaria.
They beat Argentina 4-0 and Brazil 2-0 in the second group phase.
7 July 1974, Munich
The Netherlands kicked off. The move ran through roughly fourteen passes before Cruyff carried the ball from the halfway line into the German penalty area, where Uli Hoeness fouled him.
Johan Neeskens converted the penalty inside the second minute. It was the first penalty ever awarded in a World Cup final.
English referee Jack Taylor had also had to ask for corner flags to be brought out before kick-off, because they were missing.
What happened next
The Netherlands did not press the advantage. Several Dutch players have since said the team chose to keep possession and make a point rather than seek a second goal.
Paul Breitner equalised from a penalty in the 25th minute after Bernd Holzenbein went down under a challenge from Wim Jansen, a decision the Dutch have disputed ever since.
Gerd Muller scored in the 43rd minute. Final score 2-1.
After
The Netherlands reached the 1978 final without Cruyff, who declined to travel, and lost to Argentina after extra time. They lost the 2010 final to Spain.
Cruyff never played in another World Cup.
The inheritance
Michels' and Cruyff's ideas run directly into the Barcelona system, into Ajax's academy, and into the pressing and positional play that dominate the modern game.
The team that produced them won no senior international tournament.
Why it goes on a wall
Because of the gap between the first eighty seconds and the final score. It is the clearest case in football of being right and losing anyway.
Germany had not touched it.
