I was there, when I was four years old. I couldn't stand that loud horn whenever Russia scored (they scored 7 in that game). But now that I'm older, I'm more able to stand it than I was.
@rossonero89 After all these years, I'm kinda surprised to learn I was over by 1 when referring to Russia's goal total. I guess some memories aren't as vivid as you might think. Heh.
I remember the Russian player scoring loads of goals in this match and winning the golden boot (with Stoichkov) even though Russia didn't make it past the group stages!
It a pity Russia wont be in the WC. After watching them outclass Netherlands in 08 I was looking forward to that team improving further and competing in 2010. Instead we have Slovenia. Ah well.
Yeah, unfortunately, Russia is now behind Cameroon in the FIFA World Rankings. They have played shitty lately, though. Too bad we won't see them at the World Cup...
Look at where both countries are at right now, Russia hasen't qualified to the World Cup ever since lol, Cameroon qualified to 3 world cups out of 4 ever since that match...98, 2002, and 2010
All of Cameroons squad are players under contracts in Europe's top division teams Russia has 5, and Samuel Eto'o is better then any footballer that came out of Russia lol
Eto'o costs €46,000,000, Russia's most expensive Zhirkov costs €19,000,000 so yeh
Да, Олег Саленко действительно рулит. Лучший бомбардир того чемпионата мира вместе со Стоичковым. Жаль, мразь по фамилии Романцев не захотел больше видеть Олега в сборной... И этот легендарный матч стал последним матчем Саленко за сборную.
2:23 - 2:25
senti pena dos jogadores de camarao, magros e desnutridos contra os jogadores da russia com um bom preparo fisico.

I remember this match, very interesting.
Two records were broken during it and they still stand,
1, goals scored during a world cup finals match = 5 by Oleg Salenko
2, oldest player to score at world cup finals = Roger Milla (Cameroon)
