Italia 90

Post by ChorltonV »

Forget 1966, I was never alive then, so despite winning, it's still a world cup that means nothing to me. Personally the greatest world cup ever was Italia 90, when England should have won and no team was complete without a least one mullet. Join me in reliving the glory of 1990 curtesy of the official Pannini sticker album from the tournament......

Our best WC, too. Reached the quarter-finals, never been anything like it since.

You got there without winning a game! (3 group draws and a second round advance via penalties!)

True, but those included draws against England and a Gullit-era Holand. Pretty impressive results. :D

It was a far better WC than in '94 (when we beat Italy) and '02 (where we beat Saudi Arabia). Not always about winning - watch the video - as I'm sure you English know by now :P ;)
