Ireland World Cup 1990

[rhsdrama010]

Back in a major tournament! Go Ireland at Euro 2012!

[rupp87]

This to me is the true beauty of sports a team with strong fortitude accomplishing something beyond their realm is truly special I think that is something that has sadly become highly overlooked in America is our love for an underdog not just when they win a big championship but for giving their best efforts and achieving something that nobody but themselves thought possible to achieve. truly a mark of a true champion anybody can just bet on the fastest horse but sometimes it is the littleengine

[Breetails]

i hope that you, irish, qualify for euro 2012. you had a lot of misfortune last year against france. you didn't deserve watching the world cup at home. i hope i can follow you @ poland and ukraine. good luck tuesday! grtz from belgium!

[Minkki82]

Ireland's goal against England was offside btw, in those days it didn't matter if the player affected the play or not, you weren't allowed to be offside when a shot was struck.

[goonert82]

I'm Arsenal, born Finsbury Park 1982 to a Mayo mammy and daddy. I knew I was Irish before like, but I remember watchin the Romania game wiv me auld fella. When O'Leary comes up for the pen, me da's goin "Jesus wept! Don't let that fucker take it!" and I'm like "He's Arsenal! He'll do it!" I was shittin bricks. When he scored. Wow. Only Anfield 89 beats it for me. And we was in Mayo when we beat the Italians in 94 and me nana and grandads anniversary party. Took the fuckin roof of the place

[bangslamwham88]

[FOOT7JK]

ehh,amazing memories :) i hope we will brake french hearts in next word cup like they broke our hearts in the november 23rd in 2009 :(((

[ggn1234]

Ireland 1990: the most negative side in world cup history. Thank goodness the montage omitted the back-pass fest with Packie Bonner against Egypt.

[soontobe1982]

@ggn1234 your absolutely right! with the expansion of the world cup 3 draws in the group stage arent enough anymore. poor new zealand left the world cup as the only unbeaten team in 2010

[764dak]

@soontobe1982 It's hard to go through with 3 draws in the World Cup since its expansion. However, Chile managed to do it in 1998. In that group, Italy finished with 7 points, Chile with 3, and Austria and Cameroon finished with 2.

[hartimus92]

@764dak yeah thats true, but before the world cups expansion to 32 teams from 24, teams finishing 3rd in the group usually made it through, according to the best records. 3 draws would have been very common in 82, 86 and 90, when teams played 5 across midfield to hold out, in a way that style is on the way back!

[jesusofsuburbia01]

@ggn1234 Hey man your fom the U.S what gives you the right to think you can comment on any football vid, for such a large country ye are absolutely shite.....what you dont understand is that this was such a great period for Ireland the 1980s was a terrible decade for the country so this was a time when for a short while many people could forget their problems, so no one cares about your stupid insignificant comment.

[smileoutloud]

This just makes me :D

[barca10ste]

FUCK HENRY BUT HIGH HOPES FOR THE EUROS 2012!!!

[petma]

God Bless Il Papa.

[Mortuuus]

I´m from the Czech Republic, former Czechoslovakia, and we have also lost 0:1 in the quarterfinal at this World Cup. Therefore I had goosebumps, when Pat Bonner saved and David O´Leary scored, because we felt the same, when our guys made it to the second round and the quarterfinal. Ireland showed its heart and faith, the heart of a country which never resignes.

Glorious Ireland!!

[hartimus92]

@Mortuuus love your enthusiasm my friend, greetings fromthe emerald isle!!

[harhardooglesmoof]

emm how the fuck can ya not like thiis video no matter wer u are from

[soontobe1982]

We were very fortunate to go through, in todays expanded world cup 3 draws are no longer enough to get past the group stage, like poor new zealand, who i thought battled really well in the summer, and went home with their heads held high, god i love international football

[socksoncocks27]

[tommystros]

give it a lash trapp

[stinkalloy]

I wanted to post the story of Ireland at the 1990 World Cup on youtube for my American friends to see, but the 'give it a lash Jack' crap at the start totally rules this video out. It's really good apart from that "song". Put 'em under pressure!

[ColeDavis94]

@stinkalloy whats wrong with the song?

[MIZZPINEAPPLE67]

Proud to be Irish :)

haha if you're french btw

And France are out of the World Cup. :D

[duffy221190]

like this comment if u hate the frogs!!! and FIFA the gobshites!! lol

[coltsuperocean10]

@duffy221190 ....Sepp Blatter is a corrupt bastard!! He makes the rules up as he goes along!! Jack Warner is another corrupt bastard too!! These 2 run FIFA !!!! Please read "Foul" a book by Andrew Jennings, a book that FIFA tried to ban!!! It shows how corrupt FIFA and Sepp Baltter are!!

[fintonolan]

anyone know the name of the song after 3:05??

[LaurenceTristan]

@fintonolan The La's - There She Goes

[Wolleaston108]

World cup 2010 misses you, greetings from italy

[Boff316]

I dont get all the negativity. Back in 1990 a little country sent their boys to Italy and they played their hearts out and for a while that country celebrated. What the hell does this have to do with France or us Irish being sore losers? Think about it, this isnt a video on Ireland v France, it's about Italia 90. Well from Irelands perspective.

[grako76]

packy bonner.....true irish legend!!!!! i remember excatly where i was when he saved that peno.......brilliance

[aidodjtrixxx]

our day will come,there will be other world cups and we will meet france again one day and our lads will batter them off the pitch

[TheLilnath]

IRELAND all the way......

shud be ranked way higher dan what the are in the fifa rankings...

FIFA IS A JOKE

[irishgeordieboy]

we cant forget scotland they bet some team 1 nil for us to qulifie that year

by the way im IRISH

[andy38]

@djfoley2K7 You are just going to have to live with the fact he ended up top goalscorer, he is etched in history and THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!

[andy38]

Reading some of the comments here it's easy to determine that the Irish are bad losers.

[greetingsiamross]

Ireland will never be a happier little country than when they were during Italia 90. I love my country so much

[bazthemac]

I really hope thierry henry gets mugged shot and raped in south africa.

[raznol]

i hope France lose all there matches and that wanker Henry breaks a leg in the process!

[x1R1SHxG0LF3Rx]

@raznol his leg more like his neck

[fatsoblitz]

as an irish person gives me goosebumps watching it and i ewas not even born at the time

[larryburke]

yeah it evokes fond memories but for some or all of the period 1986-1990, Ireland had available : Bonner Hughton Staunton McGrath Moran O'Leary Lawrenson Whelan Brady Houghton Sheedy Townsend Aldridge and Stapleton. Injury robbed us of Lawrenson and Jack had issues with Brady and O'Leary but you still had players who would excel at any level and McGrath would make a world XI. Quarter final was well within their limits. Even McCarthy played at the highest level in England Scotland and France.

[falkinerkeith]

the only match in my entire life when i honestly didn't mind losing, it just seemed to be the natural end losing to italy in rome in the quarters. although i still think about a zenga save from a quinn header that could have changed things. great days

[wreckedmachine]

great video and goals irish, very nice seeing the pope aswell. from a mexican american.

[TBro278]

I remember watching the Romania match with my father (a Mayo man) as a 12 year old in Jamaica, Queens.....It wasn't on any channels in English, so we watched it on Univision.....Still one of my fondest sports memories...4 years later, being at Giants Stadium when they beat the Italians is something I will never forget....

[nikkirowe1]

videos like this make my generation proud :) proud to be irish :)

[ray9191]

world cup 10 lets make it happen;)

[fishingforpenis]

Give it a lash Trap,Give it a lash Trap,never ever ever say No! REPUBLIC OF IRELAND REPUBLIC OF IRELAND,SOUTH AFRICA 10 HERE WE GO!

[minkymellon]

A nation once again!!!!!

[Steenville]

Ireland only went out because they weren´t allowed to tackle the Italian players in the play offs.. can you say corruption?..

[markoroyal]

your a a dickhead

[StalinsKnights]

And Schillachi was off hits tits on coke for the whole tournament, but hey in Italy, Non è un problema.

[andy38]

@Steenville Sour grapes much?

[Steenville]

@andy38 I don´t know whether the Irish are bad losers or this is a case of sour grapes. I saw that match back then as a neutral as I am Danish - and I had no favorite team. However, it was screamingly obvious to me that the referee was enormously friendky towards the Italians. I don´t care what you think about my comments, by the way.

[nibby32]

@Steenville ur just a fuckin prick and you have no idea what kind of a lift that gave our country back then so if u have nothin good to say shut your fuckin mouth you dopey cunt. seriously if your danish what has that match got to do with you at all you fuckin spa i hope denmark lose every game and we see whos sour grapes then dick face

[Steenville]

@nibby32 Try to ask yourself why my comment is one of the highest rated for this video, nibby, and then think again before you start calling me names- I have several irish friends here on YouTube and they agree with me that the Italy-Ireland 1990 World Cup match was "fixed".. and, if you still don´t understand me, let me put it this way: I don´t like the way Italy plays football... and then some.

[HasegawaMasato]

Hope everything is ok for Jack now, the news said he just collapsed on a family trip at Spain.

[damo289]
