[PZK12]

Best combination of music and sport ever produced.

[georginiou]

Man, this sends shivers down my spine. This is one piece of music that can be played in defeat or victory. The true genius of this music is that it combines the full range of human emotion in just a few minutes and illuminates football for just what it is at it's best - drama, glorious, beautiful. It's wonderful.

[njclondon2009]

I might add, after a life time of watching football, Italia '90 was probably the best International tournement I can remember. Close second is Euro 2004 in Portugal, but that was more for the football than the theater.

[njclondon2009]

After losing to West Germany on penalties, I cried like a baby when this tune came on - to be fair I was 10 at the time. The only other time I've cried in football was when Tony Adams scored against Spurs in the '93 FA Cup semi final.
