In fact Pavel Kazakov told an interviewer he was a serious candidate for the 1974 final. But he thought that FIFA didn't dare to put a referee from the Soviet Union in the final since Tofik Bakhramov the assistant ref in 1966i who allowed the Geoff Hurst goal in the final against Germany.

WORLD CUP
- The Dutch team of the 1974 World Cup - the so called total football team that astonished the world and could only be stopped by the Germans in the final - would never have made it to those finals if not a goal by the Belgians in their qualifier against the Dutch was canceled by Pavel Kazakov.
- During the World Cup Kazakov had a room in Munich together with Nicolae Rainea. The Soviet referee recalled years later that he was flown to the stadiums by helicopter and that the referees were shown the Mercedes plant in Stuttgart. On someone from the Soviet Union it must have made a big impression.
