Yeah but those things that you listed, doesn't make it a great tournament, not for me anyway, Merdey. Cameroon were disgraceful in that opening game against Argentina, with the two appalling fouls. And yet most fans seemed to love them, for being thuggish like that.
And here's their Italia '90 theme, and I loved the 'Ciao' puppet thing, the World cup logo/character.
And now onto Usa '94, with Daryll Hall as the singer. Btw, I think Itv have done the tournament theme tunes well over the years. But they always ruin it with adverts and awful commentators & pundits.
Euro 2000 was a classic for me. Some great games between the big boys. Euro 2016 was good also, even though I don't prefer the format change.
