This is one of my earliest memories of football, I was seven at the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eISJX5FomgI
1982 was the earliest one i can remember. Coming home from school and watching Brazil strut their stuff was brilliant. Was gutted when they lost to Italy. Got the Panini sticker book from the tournament. Only needed around 10 to fill it. Still got the poster to fill in the scores and fixtures in my scrawly kids writing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZo4aY4LLSs Never forget this final, I couldn't believe Baggio missed his penalty. Also can't start this thread without posting Razor's goal against Italy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXauYVy_dws
Sometimes argue for the sake of it but really cannot disagree this time. Best ever Mark Hughes type goal seen at the WC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drU2OzGuVfQ
I was 8 at the time. I felt so gutted, it wasn't even a foul! [video=youtube;QtqiBAg2biw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtqiBAg2biw[/video]
Robbie Earle scoring our first ever World Cup goal is the first one that comes to mind. Also, this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsZkCFoqSBs
Probably because there were alot of Brits playing for the Irish team at that time. Best World Cup memory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuIczWO9T9I Take that you Argie Twats
Probably something to do with Charlton being English but if ye were to listen to Goalkick he would tell you we burnt it after the game because we hate you . Loved this goal from Bergkamp... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsZkCFoqSBs
I used to love Roberto Baggio, I remember before the 94 final everyone was dubbing it Baggio vs Romario, needless to say it was a dire final, I watched it on my brothers black n white TV, he turned it round by going back to Juventus and winning the Scudetto the following season this match was one I remember the most from that World Cup especially this goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7L0PO_q6xZs this game I'll never forget too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBuoNKPDk2I&feature=related
I loved him myself, I remember feeling gutted for him when he skied that penalty. Remember oul Roger's moves in Italia 90 ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaAq2LcbKPY
First World cup i actually remember is 74 , remember wanting Scotland to win as it included 5 then Leeds players , who had just won the old division 1 title , in Lorimer , Harvery, Bremner, Jordan & Mcqueen remember David Coleman commeanting and saying " Lorimer 1/0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85mE4ihv6oY Funny thing is some Say thats scotlands best ever wc team, they had a tough group against the current Champions and Yugoslavia who were then one of best in Europe at time , and Scotland remanied undeatded for the 3 games, they were in, i was really sad they, lost, unlike the Laughter of 4 years later
