Vinny Green Balls Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Not to get the footballing heroes too far off the track. Romania-Argentina at the 94 World Cup probably for me, with Brazil-France in 86 a very close runner up. Best moment: making tea at 3 am, preparing for the inevitable pasting that Portugal was going to give the US. I heard the goal from the kitchen and threw a tantrum, thinking we couldn't even last 5 minutes...until I go out and see that we actually scored. (and this after some pretty horrible performances in the World Cup qualifying). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matta Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Norway 2 - 1 Brazil in '98. Still gives me goosebumps. Best moment: Rekdals penalty and the celebrations after the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Few and far between for me, so it's probably being allowed to miss lessons at school so we could all watch England on a projector in the hall thanks to the early kick-offs in 2002. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 1998. Denmark-Nigeria. That Ebbe Sand goal. Michael Laudrup's pass was absolutely ridiculous. Laudrup dripped pure footballing intellect. Loved everything about his play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Robbie Keanes last minute equaliser against Germany in 2002. We were in school in the assembly hall at the time and the entire staff and all pupils were watching the game on the big screen. Big Niall Quinns knock down to Keane and he finished off the post. Magic. On the other hand, the Spain game was a rollercoaster of emotions. Harte missed a penalty then Hierro fouled Quinn (I think) and Keane scored the second one. In the shootout, Mendietas penalty was so close to Givens foot. Devastating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 The goalless draw that saw us through to the knockout rounds in 2002 against Nigeria was a particular highlight. The 6am start definitely helped like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
