it has been a real treat thus far

so many goals!

and VERY entertaining football!

you can remember watching EIGHT World Cups? dayummm

i only started paying attention in Mexico '86

when i fell in love with Maradona

was cheering on Kevin Keegan in 1982. Was my fav player cos Dad bought me a football endorsed by him. At that time i was supporting Aston Villa cos ...the colors were cool. Hey..I was 8 years old.

i was a Pool fan when i saw Dalglish's side come back from a goal down to beat Everton in the Milk Cup

my love affair with Liverpool began after the 1986 WC

when did you discover Bundesliga?

1987-88 ish

i discovered Serie A coz of Maradona too. he was in Napoli

anyway, speaking of World Cups, Italia 90 was awful

i think it gave birth to the no-backpass rule

Italia 90 was WONDERFUL!

did i remember wrongly?

i know Germany won its 3rd after a repeat with Arg

Germany blazed through the group and did just enough to win th eCup

but wasn't 1990 among the lowest scoring World Cups?

and its West Germany then, before reunification

yes, lowest scoring. 2.2 goals per match or something like that

then again, 16 year old me didn't care LOL

my team had won the WC.

that being said, 1986 was my all time fav WC

haha, i knew you were biased in your assessment

i especially love a tournament when favourites became losers always the underdogs supporter

i love the underdogs too but I love Germany even more

well that being said, i love Germany, France and Holland too...and i definitely against mainstreams like England and Portugal...and a neutral stand for Italy, Spain, Argentina and Brazil...

hey! 1990 WC Roberto Baggio ok! dont diss. lol

the Divine Ponytail!!

if he only knew he was going to miss an important penalty 4 years later

indeed. Kesian him la. such amazing talent!

he's an awesome player, worthy of Italy's pedigree
