Christ, I'm getting old!
Georghe Hagi never really lived up to the fantastic billing served up at the 94 World Cup.Enrico's son, they've got hagi's son too, if either are half as good as their fathers they'll be some players
Ardilles really wanted Hagi, along with Dumistrescu and Popescu. Of course Maradona was his first choice that summer too, and if the drugs charge didn't come out, it might have happened.Georghe Hagi never really lived up to the fantastic billing served up at the 94 World Cup.
That was the last World Cup where hidden gems were realised under your nose live on tv. Also kids watching in HD/4K will never understand the raw excitement and joy of watching a World Cup where there was too much colour on the screen.
The Brazil shirt looks a bit stale compared to the 1982 footage. Coupled with the commentator sounding like his commentary was coming from the dark side of the moon never mind a different continent.
Sorry just got rather wistful.
There was some serious number 10 talent on show in that World Cup - Hagi, Stoichkov, Valderrama, Baggio, Raí. I was 9 and it's the first World Cup I can remember - great times.Georghe Hagi never really lived up to the fantastic billing served up at the 94 World Cup.

86 was the real first for me, but I remember being enthralled with the Netherlands at the 88 euros. Amazing team. Italia 90 though....God, world cups were brilliant back then.There was some serious number 10 talent on show in that World Cup - Hagi, Stoichkov, Valderrama, Baggio, Raí.

Italia 90 was incredible. Watching Waddle, Hoddle and Gazza was amazing. Never enjoyed a world cup as much since.86 was the real first for me, but I remember being enthralled with the Netherlands at the 88 euros. Amazing team. Italia 90 though....God, world cups were brilliant back then.

I was 16 and watching the Bulgaria v Germany game in a Colombia hotel on a massive Big box tv he size of a small room.There was some serious number 10 talent on show in that World Cup - Hagi, Stoichkov, Valderrama, Baggio, Raí. I was 9 and it's the first World Cup I can remember - great times.
Hoddle! He never went to the 1990 World Cup did he?
Tom Hately who pays for Dundee is the one who gets me. I can remember his Dad (Mark) and his Grandad (Tony) both playing.
He's also the first player born this century to score a league goalRyan Sessegnon was born in the year 2000. Wasn't that just a couple of years ago?!?
He scored in the FA Cup last weekend....

Can you take that discussion to the "What the opponents are saying about us..."-thread. AFAIK Bernadeschi didnt participate in the 86 or 90s WCs...
Wannabe mod alert! Just because you're jealous that you're not old enough to remember the 80's. Or 90's. Ya little whippersnapper.
Oldies are the best.I'm glad I'm not that old. Those are some ancient WCs!
