Argentina - Germany World Cup Final 1990 Pre-game German

The Italy 1990 World Cup final was just about to begin. Helmut Kohl, Luciano Pavarotti, Luca di Montezemolo and other celebrities on the stands were about to witness the most controversial final in the world cup history. It was a rematch of the 1986 final, which Argentina won. Germans took their revenge here. Argentina had many of their key players suspended, the most important one missing was Claudio Caniggia who was suspended for two really stupid and useless fouls. First yellow came for timewasting in the USSR game, and the second one came from a deliberate handball in the semifinal against Italy. Gustavo Dezotti of Cremonese (ITA) was his replacement but couldn't do much. Maradona's reaction to Germans booing him during the Argentina national anthem is priceless.

Why would the Italian fans boo the Argentines when their are Italian players on the team and not to mention the big Italian population living in Argentina.

@kevininsimi HEY PEOPLE CAN THINK AND HAVE THEYRE OWN OPINION ABOUT MARADONA, BECAUSE THATS ALL IT IS.. AN OPINION/THOUGHT. ITS A FACT THAT IT IS THE GREATEST GOAL IN HISTORY. ITS A FACT THAT MARADONA IS IN THE TOP 3 OF ALL TIME, JUST LIKE ITS A FACT THAT HE PINCHED IT IN WITH HIS HAND AND GOT AWAY WITH IT. JAJAJA.. OH YEA AND YOU KNOW WHAT GERMANY BEAT ARGENTINA THAT GAME FROM A PK !!JAJAJ HOW WEAK. ANOTHER FACT IS THAT MARADONA IS BETTER THAN ANY GERMAN PLAYER THAT YOU CAN NAME. PREACH!!

[escoadrian23]

@kevininsimi YOU KNOW WHAT?? I ACTUALLY LIKE KAHN. HE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GOALIES IF NOT MY FAVORITE. HE ACTUALLY WAS KILLN IN 2002 WC, HOWEVER MY FAVORITE PLAYER SCORED ON HIM TWICE IN THE FINAL AND YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY.

[kevininsimi]

@escoadrian23 And my favorite player was a keeper, so clearly there are some differences there. But anyway, Oliver Kahn. Since I know you're going to mention 2002, just enjoy it because that's the last world cup Brazil is going to see for a while. Stop typing in caps, it's annoying.

[kevininsimi]

@escoadrian23 Yeah, Maradona greatest player in the world should have put his amazing skills to use in the 1990 final, but I guess Germany had better interests in mind. Maradona isn't the only player who can get past a crap England defense. Just look at how Germany handled them this past world cup. But anyway, you can use FIFA as your proof--I don't give a crap. The truth is, there are thousands of people out there who think differently about Maradona. If he hadn't used his fist, I'd like him.

[escoadrian23]

@kevininsimi YEA ,GREATEST GOAL IN HISTORY!! I DIDNT SAY IT FIFA DID. IF THE GOAL WAS HANDED TO HIM, AND ENGLAND DEFENSE WAS SO BAD, THEN HOW COME MARADONA IS THE ONLY ONLY PLAYER TO RUN THROUGH THEM LIKE THAT?? ANYWAY WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE PLAYER?? LETS TALK ABOUT HIM NOW. SINCE YOU CANT, AND WILL NOT PROVE ME WRONG ABOUT MARADONA. AND BYU THE WAY MARADONA ISNT MY FAVORITE PLAYER, RONALDO R9 OF BRAZIL IS AND HE IS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN ANYBODY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO NAME.

[kevininsimi]

@escoadrian23 LOL! greatest goal in history? England handed that goal to Maradona in a gift bag because that defense was horrible. And contrary to what you may think, I don't like Ronaldo.

[escoadrian23]

YEEEAA SURREE... UR ARGUEMENT IS VERY WEAK MY FRIEND. THE REASON IT IS WEAK IS SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT TELLING THE WHOLE STORY OF THE WC 86 GAME VS ENGLAND. ONCE AGAIN THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED... GOAL ONE (HAND OF GOD) IS THE MOST CONTRAVERSIAL GOAL IN HISTORY. GOAL TWO IS THE GREATEST GOAL IN HISTORY. ONE MORE THING NAPLES SINCE MARADONA HAS NOT WON ANY MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS. I REST MY CASE. GO HOP ON CRISTAINO RONALDO DICK.
