Daniel Passarella, mobbed by players and fans alike, holds the World Cup trophy under dark skies following Argentina's 3-1 extra time victory against the Netherlands in the 1978 World Cup final.

Here's a lengthy, but cool, historical photo album about the beautiful game. Image on top is one of my favourites. The World Cup shining amidst the sea of blue, white and purple is very beautiful.

The film also takes a look behind the scenes at the DFB football coaching course led by Frank Wormuth. Established coaches like Jürgen Klopp, Hans Meyer, Armin Veh, Mirko Slomka, Peter Neururer, Thomas Schaaf and Michael Oenning also provide extensive insights.
