Oh do f**k off. You were 4 years old when Gazza won over the nations hearts and us football fans we're no longer classed as hoolies. What do you know about it?Dunners wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 11:36 am The 1990 World Cup was the first time that the tournament gripped the nation as a shared televisual event that even non-football fans were engaged in. The day after England's semi-final penalty shootout loss, non-football fans were all talking about it and suddenly full of opinions on the merits (or otherwise) of certain players and Gazza's tears.
It had become a cultural moment. The same almost happened for Mexico 86, especially with the hand of God, but the time difference was still too much of a barrier. Italia 90 built upon the drama of Mexico 86, but hit the winning formula of a banger of a theme tune.

Yep, 98 was my fave. The eight year wait after first getting into football was unbearable so the excitement was massiveHoover Attack wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 9:11 am What’s your fave?
(Based on my theory, I’m predicting 1998, wherever that was).
