Everything about Italia 90 was just right, the class of West Germany, all the big name players, the atmosphere of the crowd and the beauty of the surrondings. Compare it to the dross of USA 94 were everything was wrong. Best world cup in living memory! Wish they'd bring this out on DVD
the italians should have won this one. It was easily the best italian team of the last 30 yrs. They played with great flair and attacking mindset.... SCHHHIILLLAACCIIIII!
@frytok yeah and im 16 right now, and ive just watched a shitty 2010 world cup. wish i was fucking born to see italia 90. baggio, van basten and lineker were better then torres, villa and any other strker at south africa
Thanks for posting this, absolutely magic. Had this on VHS, lent it out to someone & never got it back, watching this brings back some great memories. Quality. :-)
I think there were only about 120 odd goals scored ,thats why the experts say it was a poor world cup,but i thought it was the best tournament of my time and i'm 29 now.Come on england
This tournament is only remembered, as far as I'm concerned, as the closest England have come in my lifetime to winning it. On the whole, it wasn't a very exciting event with a very poor final.
I was 17 when this tournament was played; and I thought it was very dull. However there were a couple of classic games; and some very good goals, which is the least you would expect really. Mexico 86 was for me, the best world cup I have ever seen, for reasons I don't have enough typing space for. Alot of people here say that this was their first world cup, and that's the reason so many people get all misty eyed about it; because it was the first world cup they can remember.
Its funny how some people say this world cup was dreadful. Arguably the football wasn't visionary, but the whole aura of the tournament, the drama of the matches, the atmosphere, the teams, the players, the desire within the players... it was powerful emotive stuff.
Football wise 1990 was a dross world cup, but the drama and soundtrack ('Nessun Dorma' and 'Un Estate Italiana') were enough to make it memorable even if the footy was not.
Amazing video this. Not only of the last great World Cup, but there's great soundtrack, perfect format and voice over. Can't find this on DVD which is a shame... and the VHS screws up just as Platt takes his pen against Germany and only comes good in the 3rd place play off... which isn't a bad thing!
man this brings back memories,i can remember Schillaci, every time i scored playing football down the local field i would shout schillaci!!!!!!! every time i shot or scored lol
italia 90 was the best world cup ever, it's shame the final was really dull as the tournament that came before it was brilliant and thoroughly entertaining.
In the final, the tiffosi cheered when the Argentina´s National Anthem was played. And the world saw Maradona tell to the crowd "Hijos de Puta". He told the same when he lost the final.
Probably the worst WC ever... lots of 0x0 and 1x0, several red cards, and a final with a very questionable penalty... beautiful goal from Baggio, though!
@danivalencia11 Hola, saludos.... Y seguramente era lo que esperaban o ansiaban los organizadores. Lastimosamente, el libreto lo dañó la misma Argentina, al no ganar el grupo y quedar de tercero. Saludos,
It doesn't matter what some people say, this was one of the greatest world cups of all time. Great goals, great players, and one of the most beautiful countries of the world: Italy.
i was nine and the wholrecountry of ireland went crazy-we got knocked out in the quaters by d italians and that was our best ever team.used to love the little mascot running across the screen when there was a goal
Sweet memories, Was 8 years old in italia 90 WC. Had have this on VHS casette somewere. One of the best WC ever, and the WC-song "Un estate" mmm briliant. My favorite song when I was little:). Roberto Baggio and Caniggia was my favorites
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
that's funny because italia 90 is generally considered the worst ever (as well as 2002), becasue it was the lowest scoring. mayeb the fact you were 8 has warped your memory... i was only 4 myself but you can't fight the truth
i dont think so...i was 11...the reason why i think it was great because the players in that era at that particular wc where amazing. england, the republic of irealnd, the argentines,the italians..the fans were amazing..especially it being in italy...more goals doesnt necessarily mean a better wc...all aspects must be looked at...sure i agree that more goals means more entertainment though
i never said it was, i said it is generally considered the worst. The games were poor for the most part and a brutal argentina side got to the final, Ireland got to the quarters without winning a game!
I'm from Poland and i bought this video (in polish version) in 2000.... That was for me the best cassette ever - when I have 10 years old, I was know almost everything about Italia'90!!!! My favourite player was Claudio Caniggia.
Would you like to make me a copy to sell? PM me if anyone has a copy to sell. Also interested in ANY world cup vids from ANY other world cup 1990-2006.

Ah, Mario Lacatus, I was always fond of his cunning tactic of mashing the ball with severity straight through the goalkeeper.

The only downer about the '90 world cup was the lack of a backpass rule, and the referees allowing people to foul with impunity.
The actual standard of play was astronomical, every bit as good as today - possibly better.
