As a 9 year old this world cup was mesmerising. Maradona, Brazil, The stadiums, England doing well, home nations qualified, BBC coverage, Nessun Dorma, Roger Milla... ...the list goes on. 👍
Yep, I was only 6 and a half but have vivid fond memories of Nessun Dorma, maradona, Gazza, Ruud Gullit, Cameroon and lots more. Of course, who could forget ‘World in Motion!’ 😆
In recent tournaments, I found I haven't been able to get as excited as I was when I was younger. I realised that a good part of what I enjoyed about the WC/Euros was Barry Davies and John Motson's commentary.
Maradona's brilliant pass and the sight of half the Brazilian team chasing back in vain is something I remember very well. Brazil hit the post about 3 times in that game, but went out... Nice to Sir Bobby Robson's little dance as well. What a gentleman.
My favourite is canniggia's. That bit of play by Maradonna to set it up was world class. You could see the change of pace by him from midfield as the Brazillians started to panic and were all drawn to Maradonna who kept his balance beautifully and threaded an inch perfect ball through the defenders legs to Caniggia who took it very well.
With picture quality like that, it's a good job I watched every single one of those games and remember every single one of those goals. Back in the days when strikers took the ball around the keeper. Branco to Careca was beautiful, Maradona to Caniggia was heartbreaking, Schillaci on for Ancelotti was a master stroke. Half of those countries no longer exist. Back in the day....
Remember meeting David Platt in the local newsagents on my way to school a couple of months after he scored that goal. He drove off in a Rover. How times have changed.
It's a shame Baggio didn't win a tournament, he should've won the 94 World Cup but maybe he can win an international tournament in another role maybe as a manager in the future.
I think the ones by Salvatore Schillacci, Jozic, David Platt and Ruud Gullit were the best from that tournament. And this video did not show the complete play untill the pass by Diego Maradona - he went past 4 Brazilian defenders to set up Claudio Caniggia. LOve this track !
Who won? Had to be Platt for me - great technique by both Gazza and Platt plus the fact it was a goal in the last minute of extra time to send England to the World Cup Quarter Finals
Classic tune by Adamski and Seal (Killer) to accompany this goals collection from the World Cup. 1990 was a great year to begin what was a great decade. Is it just me or was the world during the 90's (and prior in the 70's & 80's) a much better place than it is now? It just seems to have nosedived off a cliff since the turn of the century. 9-11 didn't help shortly after cos it set the tone.
Yes 70 and 80s were a more innocent time, people didn't know what garbage was out there and were less cynical. 90s were a brilliant optimistic time, cold war was over and the internet was new with a implied promise of more informed better future
3 the best goals: 3)Jozic, 2)Baggio, 1)MATTHAUS no Brehme v Netherlands, no Hwangbo-Kwan v Spain, no MIchel's free kick v Korea nor Pixi Stojkovic's free kick v Spain. You remember?

I hear you. I was 9 too. Gazza was the star for me.

I was 12...I remember the summer like it was yesterday. Great Times. The opening game set things up nicely
I too was 9 (soon to be 10).
Motson and davies will never be matched for charismatic commentary 👍

Total agree
100 % agreed 😢

Platt. Great finish. Huge impact on the match and the rest of the tournament.

Nessun Dorma aside, this was THE tune of Italia90 for me. Des Lyman / italia90 goals /Adamski / Ciao the mascot . Great days and much missed.
Toto Schillaci's ... that's the most magnificent and exhilirating goal i have ever seen
Travesty Italy didn’t win the tournament, there was a momentum and inevitability that they would - and Toto’s story seemed to be written in the stars.

Baggio...... Still Baggio..... And he's taking them all on! (2 players lol)
Awesome clip, great memories from Italia 90
My first world cup i remember as a ten year old. Great games and goals and great memories to.
Remember meeting David Platt in the local newsagents on my way to school a couple of months after he scored that goal. He drove off in a Rover. How times have changed.
Baggio's controlled layoff from Zenga's goal kick in the build up to Schillaci's goal was also very impressive.
It's a shame Baggio didn't win a tournament, he should've won the 94 World Cup but maybe he can win an international tournament in another role maybe as a manager in the future.
In my humble opinion, the best in this lineup is Roberto Baggio's goal for Italy against Czechoslovakiia
Adamski - lordy. Whenever I hear that I see Gullit dribbling (with a ball that is).
And he gets the ball through to Canigiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, scores.
Brilliant world cup
