Great post - really brings back the memories. I was 18 during that World Cup and without doubt it was the best summer of my life and one that I don;t think will be bested.
fantastic times.. i was 12...and it was an absolute glorious time to be a kid... an amazing summer i will never forget.... all my neighbours on my street ran out of their houses... hugs everywhere... great times. the whole country went mental🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪😘😘😘😘
12 as well, unreal ... Still get emotional watching this 30 years later. The country went absolutely mad that summer. We'll never see the likes of it again.
The summer of 1990 is one of the best I've ever experienced. Everything was different then: values, people, music, football... I'm Spanish but I really loved and supported the Irish team too during that magical summer... 💚🤍🧡
My cousin, who had no interest in football, had been working in Boston at the time and flew home during one of Irelands match’s. After collecting his bags he walked through an empty airport. Outside the only car to be seen was his mothers waiting to pick him up. He asked her what was going on and she said that everyone was watching the match. Not a soul or car to be seen anywhere on roads as they drove home.
I'd like to say that this RUclips channel is without a shadow of a doubt the best of the best ,I love how the Irish fans enjoyed themselves,at that time we were going to win,we had aims, and we will never see it again,we have great players,they have done brilliantly for the team,the country, the fans as well,I get that you want to do it again just like the old days,but remember we've got the best fans in the world, I'm so proud and privilege for being a fan,my mom would be so proud of me. Coybig! You'll never beat the Irish!☘🇮🇪
7.47 watch those reactions!!!!!!!!! It was amazing. Imagine it now, 500 mobile phones and selfies. Missing out on the moment. Pity the kids now. Nothing like this will ever happen again. I I am delighted i was 7 when this all happened. Brilliant.
Peak Ireland 1990 to 2007. Sadly Ireland will never be the same again , I was privileged to live through it and got to witness it, sad to see the country become what it is today but at least I lived it .
Such memories,can remember watching the Pen shoot out in a pub in Balinteer in Dublin , then the scenes in O Connell st that night was something il never never forget.
No sport ever could touch football for the euphoria anywhere in the world and it touched us in 1990 and what a time,never ever forget that summer. Greatest ever sporting achievement.
That summer was mental. After the penalty shootout there was people signing and dancing on the streets in Dublin until well into the next day. It was something I have not seen since that day. Great memories. I just hope they have not become too posh to do it again in the future.
i heard that the ole lad crying,was a writer for the irish times years ago,and died a couple of years ago,just shows how much things like that mattered to people back then,people re-morgated their homes to go to italy and still went with nothing in their pockets.

seeing all the crap thats going on in this country at the moment its watching this video that reminds me why im still proud to be irish, i think we have such a unity bigger than any other country during a world cup or european cup, roll on 2014 hopefully we'll be there so we can go through this all over again
Great times now we are full of championship and lower tier players, most players in that era were division 1 players with some from utd and Liverpool struggling to get on hard to believe.
@ronan32 we are far more backward today, withg are SUV's and Lattes. Everyone looking dow their noses at each other. Today we are just a carbon copy of the UK.
wish we could go back to them days when we had a great sense of community, we all had fuck all but helped each other out. nowadays we still have fuck all but still try to play keepin up with the jone's,. the celtic tiger turned us all into pricks i wsh it never roared...OLE OLE OLE OLE OOH AHH PAUL MCGRATH......
We comprehensively had the beating of Spain at most points in that match...I am actually quietly confident we can do the business against France in the play-offs...

I'll never forget Italia '90. What a time it was to be alive. The whole country was rocking. Thanks a million, Jack.
I'm from Holland, but I definitely respect the Irish. Great passionate people.

I wss only 17th years. My nerves was going. Best irish team ever. Great atmosphere in dublin. Now cheering on for Holland for the 2024.
not a mobile phone in sight......when life was so much more pure ...real and peaceful
fantastic times.. i was 12...and it was an absolute glorious time to be a kid... an amazing summer i will never forget.... all my neighbours on my street ran out of their houses... hugs everywhere... great times.

Same 10 I was great memories ill never forget
I was 14 and I'll never ever forget
12 as well, unreal ... Still get emotional watching this 30 years later. The country went absolutely mad that summer. We'll never see the likes of it again.
Great great times. . The whole place went mad. ..great atmosphere in the country. .everyone was in great form. . It was brilliant
those times will never come again
We'll never see those days again. Even if we won the thing in the future, it'll never match that summer.
Your dam right
Well if we won it that would top Italia 90, come on now 😲
@@dzg189 10 years late pal 🤣
I know. That really was the golden era of Irish soccer ❤
We might win it alright. Italia 2090 with a team full of ngrs

You'll never beat the Irish!☘🇮🇪
I feel sorry for the young generation who weren't born or don't remember this. They have missed out on the biggest party this country has ever seen.
My dad always talks about it to me you don't know how baldy I'd love to witness that
@@olankelly6193 I was only 16 myself at the time but they were the best days ever. The country went mad for about a month ha
Fingers crossed Dave we get to experience something similar for Euro 2024 or WC 2026. I pray for it every day
7.47 watch those reactions!!!!!!!!! It was amazing. Imagine it now, 500 mobile phones and selfies. Missing out on the moment. Pity the kids now. Nothing like this will ever happen again. I I am delighted i was 7 when this all happened. Brilliant.
Everyone in Ireland was together and waiting for the next match, the pubs were closing at the crack of dawn and times were good, so was the music.
Peak Ireland 1990 to 2007.

"Only for Kevin Sheedy we wouldn't have won!" Brilliant!
I was 13...i was forming my first band....it was an amazing summer...everyone suddenly turned into hysterical football fans
"Who put the goal in the english net" 🤣🤣 Love it
lump in my throat watching that, thanks for uploading :)
No sport ever could touch football for the euphoria anywhere in the world and it touched us in 1990 and what a time,never ever forget that summer. Greatest ever sporting achievement.
Thank you Jack you brought such joy RIP.
RIP Bill
Agreed. Top man and sadly missed
The idiot wearing the villa jersey supporting Ireland 🇮🇪 v England 🏴
Born in 92 but i still know everyone of these games and the commetary to match....buzzin for sunday

I was 6 and remember that summer so well. COYBIG. We’ll get another one like that again some day
The innocence, the impartiality, the relief, i really thought at the end it was going to say Calvin Klien !
we were so innocent back in the 1990's great days though. Would give anything up to have them again.
I was 8 that year. That summer was glorious.
Eoghan Callaghy , I was there from start to finish, greatest holiday I ever had . Not bad for an Irish Scot 🇮🇪☘️
Same. Best World Cup ever.
i heard that the ole lad crying,was a writer for the irish times years ago,and died a couple of years ago,just shows how much things like that mattered to people back then,people re-morgated their homes to go to italy and still went with nothing in their pockets.
A brilliant summer, will never forget it
When Ireland was still Irish. Life was so much better in those days, hate this "new Ireland".
on the contrary ... ireland is a much better place now than it was then .. back then it was a depressing s.hit.hole

@@thet1375
Agree 100%
The team wasn't too Irish, in fairness. 8 of the 13 against Italy were foreign.
Never seen this before..unbelievable scenes...the face on the guy just before the winning penalty is amazing
Oh man it makes me cry watching this
We were one big family in Ireland back in those days. What happened...?
If this is how elated they were just reaching the quarter final imagine how happy they would've been if they actually won the competition😮
These days getting to the competitions is like winning it 😂
seeing all the crap thats going on in this country at the moment its watching this video that reminds me why im still proud to be irish, i think we have such a unity bigger than any other country during a world cup or european cup, roll on 2014 hopefully we'll be there so we can go through this all over again

Liverpool, United and Arsenal first teamers. few Villa boys too back from their golden days.
Siting here watching this while all the pubs a closed due to COVID 19, id sell my son to be in a pub with that atmosphere now
So proud to be irish ❤
The Golden days

@ronan32 we are far more backward today, withg are SUV's and Lattes. Everyone looking dow their noses at each other. Today we are just a carbon copy of the UK.
Go on John Healy at 9:34. Lovely. Roll on June 2012.
He died not long after that, RIP.
even if we qualify again and do well, the nation wont party like it did in 1990
Irish will always remeber that Italian summer
No olvido ese mundial fue muy especial
If this doesn’t make you emotional you’re not human
bring a tear to your eye
wish we could go back to them days when we had a great sense of community, we all had fuck all but helped each other out. nowadays we still have fuck all but still try to play keepin up with the jone's,. the celtic tiger turned us all into pricks i wsh it never roared...OLE OLE OLE OLE OOH AHH PAUL MCGRATH......

You avin a laugh mate?

What? Where the meeting with the pope you big tease?? Great vid
Bandwagoning at it's finest. "If it wasn't for Sheedy we wouldn't have won."
Bless her
Dermot Lopez Productions just like the time America beat England 1-1 in the 2010 World Cup
It's similar to Korea in the 2002 World Cup!
RIP Big Jack.
The Irish team of italia 90 is better than Argentina or West Germany of 1990.
wish we could go back to them days when we had a great sense ot community, we all had fuck all but helped each other out. nowadays we still have fuck all but still try to play keepin up with the jone's,. the celtic tiger turned us all into pricks i wsh it never roared...OLE OLE OLE OLE OOH AHH PAUL MCGRATH......
4:41 - "Get the fuck outta here" . lol.
they were the gud aul days b4 everyone got stuck up with the celtic tiger money bollox! Get them back for 2010 lads!
who is the crying man and what is his story? Thats all I want to know!
The Irish team of 90 is better than the socceroos of 2006.
Looks like Father Ted, in a good way
You would not be allowed to show people booing the opposing team today. It would be political incorrect.
@niallglennon83 agreed
So what happened at the vatican?
Other countries only celebrate like this, if they win the WC...
It's a pity the government and the faceless civil servants don't treat Irish people with respect and give them their own homes
What does that have to do with Football lad?
This is why Ireland are the best fans, we fucking drew nd lookout them
The mots ruining the craic.
ahhh ha ha 2.05 boo'n the english priceless!!
