World Cup Countdown: 11 Weeks to Go - Broken Promises, a Dictator & the Tragedy of Zaire 1974

Few football teams, perhaps none, at either international or club level are so defined by one moment as Zaire - particularly when that moment isn't even a goal, a save, or a tackle, but a yellow card.

It's group game three of the World Cup 1974 in Gelsenkirchen. 2-0 to the good with around ten minutes to run on the clock, Brazilian superstars Rivelino and Jairzinho stand over a free kick 25 yards from goal, as the reigning champions coast to victory over the first-time participants.
