Argentina - Cameroon World Cup 1990 Italy 2nd half

A win that shocked the world: Back then quite unknown African Lions defeated the World Champions. 2nd half also has one of the most brutal tackles in world cup football: Benjamin Massing on Claudio Caniggia. After this match Argentina president Carlos Menem has been quoted to say about this match "Our national team has put the whole country into shame". Menem also demanded Bilardo to do radical changes to the lineup after the game.

6:48 - The Argentine no. 7 is such a wimp! sneeks up on him and pushes him from behind and then runs away!

That's Jorge Burruchaga. For a wimp he was pretty important player... netted the 3-2 goal against Germany in the World Cup 1986 final. :)

It's true that refs always favor the 4 big countries: Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. It might be subconscious... but they ARE often favoured in the ref decisions over small football countries.

Shame on such dirty soccer. Anyway, I like some african players, JJ Okocha, the coolest ;) Saludos de un argentino.

i'm from Kenya & remember watching this then as a 7yr old boy. i've never forgotten that match, & most importantly, that goal that set Cameroon on course to making history & bringing much jubilation to us Africans.

@detonator2112

[joeachillo]

ehhhhh Michel Vautrot, i remember the referee's name,The french guy didn't do us any good,the first red card was bullshit!!!

[Eaglesfanmd]

to me cameroon played like the second best team in the competition. they should have played west germany in the semis and the winner would have deserved the championship

Morocco made it in 1986 and became first african country to reach round of 16,Cameroon became first african country to reach quarterfinals in 1990,Senegal did it twelve years later in world cup 2002 and Ghana did it in 2010 and was so close to reach the semifinals!!!
