DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
It's a weird mix of nostalgia and experiencing the game this way for the first time - it almost feels as if it's really live! Either way, it's keeping me from my work!!
Ooooh! And Sabau has just whacked it straight at Bonner! Could be tight, this one...
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

I'm just waiting for the update on how we punctured Lung's defence for the opener!

On that note, there's an Italia 90 day on in Dublin on Saturday: https://www.facebook.com/events/633977406704517/
Hagi is all over us - Charlton would want to make a change or two.
Seems Popescu is in jail now, which I didn't realise!
Got a three-year sentence for money laundering last year.
That'll be Mick:

Hehe.
101 mins ET Another change for Romania as Daniel Timofte replaces Sabau. Wonder what influence Timofte will have on the outcome of this game.

Those phrases are indelibly marked on our consciousness, just demonstrates what a class act George was (and still is) throughout that tournament.
He has the knack of offering the perfect commentary for the event that presents itself.
They don't even look fit to play lads!

Some archived RTÉ footage of the build-up to the game and the reaction around the country: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2015/...990-the-story/
Who won?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Eire on penalties.

Didn't a lot of you bawdy chaps who got married in the 90s go to "Bromania" for your stag party?

Italia 90 documentary on tonight at 12:05am on RTÉ 2.
'A look back at Ireland's 1990 World Cup adventure, from the moment manager Jack Charlton and the team landed in Italy through to their spectacular welcome back in Dublin.'
All the goals from the 2014 World Cup is on after it.
Is it just me or is the reaction to Ireland's world cup run in Italia 90' over exaggerated. They did not win a single game, somehow came second with 3 points without a win, came through a penalty shootout which is random, so I cannot see what is to celebrate here.
You couldn't possibly call it over-exaggerated. Eh Stutts?
First time at a World Cup. Got out of a hellish group. Got through to a QF against the hosts. It would have been better to have gotten further or maybe actually beaten ROM over 90/120 but you can't not play down the effect that that had on soccer in this country.
I would be more inclined to concentrate on our failure to qualify for Euro92 as our biggest failure of the era.

We drew with three of the best teams in Europe and lost narrowly to another, the hosts. It was a huge achievement, even if we didn't win a game.
