    Memorable non footballing things from World Cups...

    Three for me are;
    Rivaldo going down holding his face after being hit in the legs with the ball (group stages Brazil v Turkey 2002)
    Rikaard gob at Voller (2nd round Holland v Germany 1990)
    Martin O' Neill bank-handed compliment to Robbie Williams during the BBC's ill advised and short lived celebrity analyisis, something like; Congratulations on your success, I personally was very suprised with how well you've done solo as I always thought that Gary Barlow was the talented one in Take That. - Marcel Desailly should have been warned in advance!

    Anyother favorites?

    That was hilarious.Was that not 1998 though or did they do it that year as well?

    Mine would have to be Marco Tardelli's celebration in '82(I think), if you count that as non-football.

    'Twas 2002. I was on a stag in Galway and was wondering if I was still drunk.

    Those see-through Saudi jerseys have to be up there as well.

    She surely would have had a case for stalking against the director or camera man. I mean even before Argentina scored she was an shown almost every ten minutes.
