Tantrums, trickery and tragedies of World Cups past

West Germany's Fritz Walter, holding the Jules Rimet trophy, and Horst Eckel are carried shoulder high by fans after beating Hungary in the 1954 World Cup final in Bern, Switzerland, July 4, 1954. The match, seen as a replay of a first round group game which Hungary had won 8-3 against the West German reserves, saw the underdogs beat the largely favored Hungary 3-2. A member of a study conducted by the University of Leipzig has claimed that the victorious German national squad may have been injected with methamphetamine prior to the match, but the players believed they were being injected with Vitamin C.
