The Batman Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Obviously it depends on when you were born but I bought "One Night In Turin" lst night and it brought back a load of memories for me going round my grandparents watching England Vs Germany in the semi final. I dont remember the earlier games that well. I was born in 1985 and dont remember the 1986 World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Mine is the from 1962 world cup Italy v Chile dubbed as the battle of Santiago (wikipedia has a good page on it and for more graphic images look on youtube), The most violent match in the history of the world cup, This was'nt overpaid models falling, diving, winking and rolling around, This was a real war.

One Team In Keynsham Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Possibly Cubillas scoring for Peru against Scotland in 1978. That world cup produced one of my favourite goals Edit: found from 1982: certainly one of the finest teams not to win the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italia 90 is my first footballing memory. i have added one night in turin to my lovefilm list and banged it on high priority, is it def worth an outright purchase?. Also i ordered a sweet history of footie box set DVD from Amazon for only £8, apparently its very good and is actually 13 hours long might be worth a look if you fancy a footie DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Espania '82. I had the wall chart in bedroom and I remember it was huge. I filled in every single game. I also remember their mascot being an orange! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swji Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 My first World Cup memory is the match against Argentina in 1998. Remember walking out the room as Batty took his pen.

Portland Bill Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 First real memory for me was in 1970, 2 nil up against West Germany and losing 3-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italia 90 is my first world cup memory - the AWESOME Ring binder sticker album, the little footballs for the playground, Roger Milla, Pavarotti, Gazza - it had everything...

ESPN are currently showing all the official FIFA 2 hour movies for each world cup since 54. I watched 1966-1990 yesterday and they were all quality, although have some dodgy music . They are showing the more recent three today which will prob be worth a watch. Wouldnt be surprise if they are reshowing the lot throughout the week either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did something similar in the previous game, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somerset_Sam Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Mexico 86, I remember us drawing with Morroco and the outcry in the press and then the excitement of the Poland, Paraquay games and the despair of the argie's game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve from Wales Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Mexico 1970, probably the most entertaining tournament with the best Brazilians players ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
