epa02239712 A picture dated 07 July 1974 shows German national team captain Franz Beckenbauer happily lifting the World Cup trophy at the Olympic Stadium Munich after the 1974 World Cup final game between Germany and the Netherlands, which Germany won 2-1. Germany hopes for a World Cup 'dream final' against the Netherlands at this year's World Cup in South Africa. Should Germany beat Spain in the semifinals, the wolrd would see a sequel to the 1974 final. 36 years ago, Germany won the second of its three Wolrd Cup titles in Munich. EPA/SCHNOERRER
