CyderInACan Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Saw this on twitter as Italia 90 started 29 years ago today. That World Cup followed hot on the heels of City getting promoted and me finishing my GCSEs. What a summer that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 1990, the year of the best ever world cup song ! Went to the Belgium game, think they had us in the ground about 4 hours before ko and kept us in for about 2 hours after and couldn't get a pint for 24 hours before the game always remember the police and military outside before and after it was like walking through a war zone.

I’ll never forget the buzz in the centre getting the bus home that afternoon in anticipation of that semi final. #worldinmotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS15_RED Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 The first World Cup I can remember, I recommend watching One Night In Turin, it tells the story of England at Italia 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I was lucky enough to do the whole of Italia '90 from Sardinia all the way to Turin. It was an incredible experience. Yes, at times we were treated like dogs, especially on match days but, by staying away from the majority of the growing English fan base during the tournament, we had an absolute blast. Having dual citizenship helped as well. I'll never forget the beach at Rimini, that was absolutely mental! Happy memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, in a weird coincidence I also got married on the 9th June 1990, and remember watching Italia 90 games on a big screen on honeymoon. However I got divorced 25 years ago. Happy fo king days!

Tinmans Love Child Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Remember it well, I was 11, had the Italia 90 folder sticker album where you collected weekly parts, I have it in the loft still, I stuck a photo of Bob Taylor in the cover! I also had Italia 90 subutteo set with Italian goal nets and footballs! i remember the volley from Platt v Belgium and then going out in the garden in the dark and trying to recreate it! Apart from Euro 96, World Cup 98 and last year, has to be my fave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Remember watching cameron turn over argentina in the first game like yesterday. What a team we had then. Never been a better manager in my lifetime than robson. Gazza, shilton, pearce, bryan robson, waddle, all world class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno really, it just didn`t grab me like the USA one did. Perhaps it was the getting up in the middle of the night to watch games that made it special and a bit more exotic - a bit like when the Ashes are in Australia or the WC in Argentina in 78.

EmissionImpossible Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 As a kid watching the tournament I thought it was one of the dullest sporting events I had seen with hardly any goals and defensive football.

Genghis Khan's pants Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 I remember watching Argentina v Cameroon in a packed common room at my Uni halls and the "ooos" as the first Cameroon player just failed to take out Caniggia (I think) quickly turning to massive cheers and the whole place going crazy when the second completely cleaned him out........ah, happy times!!

Oh Louie louie Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 That first game was great. Other thing sticks in my mermory gazza rounding a few belgiums to win a free kick, then putting it on a plate for platt. What a player gazza was.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Remember coming home from school to watch Cameroon go to work on the likes of Claudio Caniggia before securing the biggest football upset I’d witnessed as an 11 year old boy. For some reason I seem to remember more from that tournament than I do from any of the WCs since 2002 and thats before seeing One Night in Turin. Definitely my favourite World Cup.

I had just finished my exams at the time of USA 94 and it felt like a treat to stay up until 4 in the morning watching football.
