Since 1988 Italy have only

What about the final of Euro 2000 ... lost 2-1 to France on golden goal in extra time - just like Korea match.

lets be honest, they got well and truely conned in that korea game as well

funny as fu ck

England record might need a small reality check:
1988 lost all 3 group games
1992 - didnt win a group game
1994 - DNQ
2000 - didnt get out of group
2008 - DNQ

Else it's like saying that since 1998 San Marino have never lost a knock out match of a major tournament!!

1988

Think the stat is Italy have not lost in 90mins in a major tourno since 1988.

In a knock-out match...

it cant mean 90 mins because italy lost to south korea in extra time golden goal

It was a draw after 90mins in that match.

yeah but OP says they have lost once

OK my mistake! I forgot about that. But still only twice in 20 years is quite something.

Germany in the same period have lost 7 times?

Just had a look ... since 1988, Italy have gone 19 knock out matches without losing in 90 mins. Not many countries can say that after playing so many games.

Impressive!

This forum is well known for having accurate facts...please do better next time.

in 90minutes Germany have lost 6 times?

1992
1994
1998
2002
2008
2010?

2008 germany lost to croatia and spain in 90 minutes

we are taking about knock out matches in international tournaments

Since 1988, England's 90 minute knock out record is 2-9-2 ... ffs just two wins in 13 games! (against Ecuador and Denmark)

was Cameroon in extra time?

Yeah all the 1990 WC KO games went to extra time

Both wins came with Sven in charge!

Yeah last time an English manager won a KO game in 90 minutes was Bobby Robson in June 1986 WC - 3:0 v Paraguay lol

2012, germany lost in 90 minutes against italy in semi. thats 7.

Infact since the 1966 World Cup final, England have only won 3 knock out games in 90minutes

Since 1988, ze Germans 90 KO record is 16-5-6 - not to bad over 27 games

since 1988, Italy have gone 19 knock out matches without losing in 90 mins.

----------------

yep, that is a killer stat.

Since Italy were world champions in 2006, they've only won two matches in major tournaments in 90 minutes, one against France 3-0 and one against Ireland in this tournament.

draw it is then

since 1988, Italy have gone 20 knock out matches without losing in 90 mins.
