One Night in Turin ITV4 NOW

Let me guess, and in the end the Germans win?

Tomorrow is One Night In Wembley for all the Man utd fans

Saturday is 'One Night in Jamie O Hara's new Mrs' - quite a few guest appearances

They don't do presenters like Des Lynam and Elton Welsby any more.

Shocking to look back and see how press treated utter gent bobby robson

Totally. Would you blame Roy Hodgson if he resigned if England won these Championships and save him the knives of a press who are already out to get him anyway.

correct steptoe - a lovely fells was bobby

suppose you've gotta remember it was on the back of a calamitous euro 88. he offered his resignation afterwards. the gutter press will have wanted him out for the 2 years preceding italia 90

Was there in Turin and Rimini ........fond memories

1990 England's Best World Cup in Living Memory.

7 matches

1 win, 1-0 versus Egypt

There's one thing questioning his football because you can embellish Robson's reign up or down very justifiably. However, if I recall correctly, the press lynched Robson more than any other England manager for other stuff. And Bobby Robson - nor any man really - deseerves that.

Most of those scumbag press mob still around, still making a living telling lies.

To show no bias towards England.

This was also Ireland's best World Cup ever

5 matches

0 wins

it was a dire tournament alright the lowest scoring ever full of diving and cheating

Started and ended with multiple red cards amid some shocking scenes and brilliantly the Argies losing both games. But yes, as much as it was great memories in hindsight it was a dull tournament. Had England not done anything it would have been one to forget.

i recall it being a very nervy tight world cup with a load of matches going to extra time and pens.... drama filled!

yep that opening game was a classic. always remember the first cameroon player trying to take out caniggia and then the 2nd bloke made no mistake and  just completely wiped him out. you get that any more

* you don't get that

Yep Cannigia went flying and then so did one of Biyik's boots.

Got the wrong red card. Benjamin Massing.

Here comes the famous watch him (Gazza) from Lineker to the Enland bench

God that was painful viewingto see that again, I remember being in my mates house watching that semi final at a party like it was yesterday. Absolutely devastating at the time

Whichever way you look back at that summer... it was fecking great.

music, fashion... HAIR

now look what we got?

Did we really play the well during the tournament or did they just embellish a few of the performances?

And 22 players wearing black boots.

When Linekar equalised we all went completely mental!

Tournaments are not about performances... they are about getting through, whichever way you can.

Vastly misunderstood.

Until Woy got the job, and now we are on our way.

lineker's equaliser was a moment i shall never forget , same as Waddle's pen that was blazed over the bar to his credit , Waddle hit the inside of the post in extra time , I had forgot about that

shame really cos the argies were there for the taking in the final , they were really lucky to have even made it that far IIRC and whoever won that semi was nailed on to win the tourney

Because England weren't lucky to make it to the semi finals at all

What do you mean luck. We beat two African nations and Belgium with a 120th minute winner.

i was in that campsite lol

played really well against holland who were of course european champions and zee germans but muddled our way through the rest of it.

ireland game was shocking and we were largely outplayed by belgium and cameroon

argies had about 4 players suspended for the final. how they made it i'll never know. got absolutely murdered by brazil and somehow nicked it 1 nil

and of course back then yellow cards were not thrown around like confetti

I didn't watch the documentary but was that the world cup where lineker had to dive twice in the penalty box for england to beat cameroon?

I seem to remember england holding on desperately against belgium before platt scored a last minute  welbeck.

wasn't bobby robson and the team being slated by press and fans before that?

Aah! the good old days.

lots of sides have won world cups/euros on grinding out results and not being convincing

id say majority

If somehow England had beaten Germany in that shoot out ,,,,,the only team they would have beaten along the way to get to the World Cup Final would have been Egypt.

Would be surprised if anyone had been as unconvincing as that.

It was still a great time to be alive for us old sods

World in motion,pavarotti,all the home nations having some success,barry davies at his peak "Canniggiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...scores!"

Superb at this stats lark aren't you. Define win. And list all the teams in the world who beat us.

You can read the rules on Betfair.

No doubt you feel West Germany's victory was a little hollow, having only being able to scrape past the average English on penalties.

and a shocking dive for the winning penalty in the final

Yes, believe Germany will consider Italia 90 a poor World Cup winning 5 and drawing 2 of their 7 games.

England on the other hand returned to a hero's welcome at Luton airport where 300,000 fans were waiting to see them on their open top bus tour to celebrate their one victory in 7 games at Italia '90.

Tournament football is all about getting into the next round.

England were very close to making the final.

Was a very good WC.

Was a great time to be 21. I was choked up watching it had a great Saturday night after the Holland game.
