I was only 11 at the time, but Italia 90 was the last big tournament (apart from Euro 96) that I remember being truly great.

Great stuff. Footy was so much more fun back then.

It was in a way, wasn't it?

 

The kits were better!

 

You can tell if a tournament was a great one if the name of it becomes embedded into your mind. Italia 90, mexico 86, euro 96.

 

Japan and South Korean 2002? Nah!

 

Did Schilachi (sp?) do much after the tournament? Went to Juve didn't he?

If you're Irish, George Hamilton's constant refrain of 'Italia Novante' is burned into your mind.........

Amazing to see the nation back then, feels like we've lost our innocence since.
