    For me it has to be Italia '90 for England's run to the semis. although i used to love running home from school to watch the last one in Germany. Best music?...... The one for the Argies' World Cup.

    Happy days eh?.....

    Costa Rica stuffing Scotland.... Cameroon upsetting those well mannered Argies. Maradona's drugs. Gazza rooering! The scandal of Rimini. Schillachi. And it started very dubiously for us in a rain-lashed stadium against the Irish.

    If you have never seen films on Argentina 1978 when Argentina were playing.......its

    worth watching
    The one thing that sticks in the memory is when Argentina took to the field
    The noise and the streamers and ticker tape cascading from all sides of the ground
    Fantastic sight

    Mario Kempes....

    Methinks he would have formed a formidable partnership with Bell. What about Alberto Tarantini? Absolute psycho - he went nuts when he scored against Peru in the 6-0 victory which earned them a place in the final. After the tournament he signed for Birmingham; never settled, and jumped into the crowd to have it with a fan who abused him as he left the pitch after the Birmingham v Wolves match.

    Ticker-tape reception...

    It was awesome! I've got a dvd highlighting all the games/ interviews - goes on for about 5 hours - and it's well worth a watch. I can recall quite a few English club's supporters trying to imitate the ticker tape reception the following season... Only Portsmouth's lot seemed to do it proper for some reason.

    For a while , anything Argentinian was the bee's knees , the darlings of the media and so called football experts .

    Italia 90? Me too!

    <p align="left">First one I ever saw, and the competition that really got me into football. So definately the most memorable for me. Never looked back since.</p>

    Marco Tardelli.....

    Another fruitcake! He went mental when he scored in the '82 final. I can remember him breaking Kevin Keegan's cheekbone when England ran them ragged in a qualifier for the 1978 World Cup. We won 2-0 but failed to qaulify on account of hardly scoring any goals as compared to Italy who had Bettega, Causio, Zoff in their team.

    Italia 90. Ditto

    Gary Lineker, Shitters, Waddle, Paul Parker, the Mighty Robson (with arm in obligatory sling), New Order, Barnesy rapping along. Great days and some fantastic football.

    That game against Peru

    Just a tad dodgy!

    And their game with Brazil - remember stopping up to watch it and it was tedious!

    RE: Marco Tardelli.....

    Hard as nails , sandwich short of a picnic , but oh boy , could he play . Bettega , pre maturely grey but a tremendous finisher . Causio , looked like a porn star but bags of ability and gave the team a nice balance going forward . Dino Zoff , stylish goalkeeper at a time when most foreign goalkeepers were looked upon as jokes .
    Ah the memories .
