Razzler Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 82 is a bit more clouded for some reason! I remember Bryan Robson's goal v France and obviously England not getting through whilst remaining unbeaten! And I obviously also remember the Brazil team - Zico, Falcao, Socrates(!) Paulo Rossi, Allesandro Altobelli, Tardelli and that awful challenge by the German keeper, Schumaker - can't remember who he wiped out, but it was rotten. If I'm honest, I got more into it for Mexico 86, it helped that Chris Waddle and Peter Beardsley were there.

Marius_R Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 It was the 1st knockout stage, TM. Regarding that game, this goal was brilliant...the assist from Hagi, the movement from Dumitrescu, and that lovely tap-to finish it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I've ever seen or heard anything about this goal...if that was Pele, Maradona, Messi, any of them, we'd hear about this all the time. What a remarkable goal. Legendary Saeed al-Owairan. European clubs were reportedly interested in him, but Saudi FA at that time didn't want any of its players to leave. The reason was "to protect its domestic competition". I think some of Saudi players should be playing in Europe. Their qualities are perhaps not Premier League ones. But I think they can definitely play for Championship sides. It would do good, e.g., for Abdulrahman al-Qahtani. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with the Middle East players is whether there is the desire to leave and go play in the Championship vs be treated like an absolute kind and get a pretty sweet deal living at home with family and everyone loves you A friend of mine worked with an Egyptian guy (for one of his businesses) that played in UAE league and he has opportunities to go to the German 2nd division or something but was basically like 'what's the point'. It's tough, probably never gonna play for Dortmund or Munich so stay home and be treated like those players in your own country Having watched some UAE football though I can safely say there isn't much danger of too many players being able to make it in the Championship or 2nd Division in Germany Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alls well that ended well with Portugal winning 3-2. I know I am shallow but being a Scot it's all we have is to support whoever England are playing against.

grff Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 1990 - Platt scoring against Belgium. Waddle hitting the bar against West Germany. 1994 - Bulgaria beating Germany. John Aldridge going mental in the midday sun 1998 - Owen's stunner. Bergkamp's goal of the tournament. 2002 - South Korea beating Spain and Italy. 2006 - Zidane headbutt. 2010 - Every match sounding like it was being played in a beehive.

Fe98 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yeah Michael Owen's goal against Argentina for me, and Sol Campbell's disallowed goal ٍStrangely enough, the thing that most people remember from that game would have to be Owen's goal or Beckham's red. But for me Zanetti's goal was pretty amazing, simply because of the thought process behind it. Of course everyone (i.e. me) would have thought that Batistuta would have smashed it in (sorry for my, erm, biasedness). Just looked at again, and still impressed!

benjaminpeter Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 That David Platt volley (spent many an hour recreating that on the sports field) and Gazza in tears are my earliest world cup memories. The Romanian team's haircuts in WC'94, Zinedine Zidane and Dennis Bergkamp in WC'98 and then the England-Brazil game in 2002. After that it all got a bit uninspiring. I guess Zidane getting sent off in the WC Final and his last ever game was pretty epic too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilSaint Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 A great moment I remember was Milan Jovanovic scoring for Serbia against Germany in South Africa '10. I was on holiday with the missus in Greece and our hotel was full of annoying Germans (no offense to any German folk on here, our hotel was simply filled with the extremely annoying kind) Adding to the fact that I support Standard & Jova is an ex player of us.. The moment he scored the lobby was so quiet.. Ahh good times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshift Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Platt's winner against Belgium stands out for me. I was on a school residential trip and the teachers set up a TV for us kids to watch it.

Razzler Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 What annoyed me is we still conspired to draw that game :/ 1998 was great, we had a genuinely exciting and young player in Owen and a pretty good team. It's just such a shame we messed up that Romania game and ended up playing Argentina in the last 16 I wish we had a teenage Owen breaking into the team now.

UTT Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 98 was the first world cup that I can remember - so the obvious memories are Owen goal, Beckham sending off, Bergkamp goal, the Blanco bounce and general Croatian (and Davor Suker) awesomeness. Don't really remember 02 that much - Dario Rodriguez goal aside and France being poor. 06 is about that Argentina goal and also Maxi's Rodriguez's stunner. Was supporting Italy so glad that they won 10 was the Shabalalala (sp) goal for South Africa, the Suarez handball, Ghanaian anger, Uruguay being great and being thoroughly bored of Spain EDIT: How can I forget Marco Materazzi in 2006? Hero and Villain all in one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
