I was at this game with my father. I was 21 years old. The Italians fans were outnumbered.Half of Ireland showed for the game.. Italy lost but it was great to be at a World Cup game with my father! :)
i was 6...... and i remember sitting on my dads shoulder on the chair ....and houghton scored and he launched me up in the air. Me not really not knowing what this meant for the country, started crying!!!
Since then i started asking my da bout the Irish teams of the past.......and he always maintained, even to this day, that we had a team in 1988 to win a European championships!!!!......and looking back at the archive i think we had too!!
I'll never forget this. I grew up 10 minutes from East Rutherford, NJ my father took me to see this I was 10. Tensions were extremely high and I grew up in an Italian neighborhood. The NY/NJ area has so many Irish and Italians and we've always been loggerheads with the guineas anyway so this was just white hot in tension. All you saw was green, white, orange, and red.
Was at the game i was only 16 at the time,i was sitting in the upper tier of the stand in Giants stadium,directly in line with the 18 yard line when Ray Houghton hit the shot,i will never ever forget this day until the day i die.Special Special memories.Hope we get a good draw in the playoffs !!!!!!!!
One of the best moments in Irish football in my opinion. Remember watching this game in '94 with some of my English "friends"! All of which wanted Italy to win and wore italian shirts, AC Milan etc! I cheered like no other when that goal went in and got a dig in the stomach for my celebrations, but it did not stop me!! Initially I thought its not real, is he offside? We never beat Italy, but we did. Great memories! Like Paul McGrath said, I wish it never ended!
@petescott30 i am english and cheer for england but i would have never cheered against ireland in this match. i always want ireland to do well. infact during world cup 94, since italy didn't qualify, i was cheering for ireland.
@JadMock jeez, i was a little tired when i wrote this...i meant to say "Since ENGLAND didn't qualify". yeah i knew italy was in the 94 WC. and yeah i remember Baggio's miss.

Great Irish team. I saw this game and i was sur that the italians were going to win.
I was 9 years old, and since then i new they can easaly be defeated in first rounds.
But i think 2002's team outperformed this one.
Any way you should have participated to 2010 edition and the fifa maust change some rules as sun as possible.
Sorry for my aproximat english.
