That Van Persie goal has to go down as one of the greatest ever, a sheer wtf moment if ever there was one. No keeper would have been ready for it.

Yup.

However, oddly depressing it was only 4 years ago. His fall from grace has been brutal.

Same as Schweinsteigers.

The LvG effect

France 98 the England Argentina game. Massive roller coaster of emotions. Not a great feeling after but one of all time favourite games. Had everything except the right result
Nothing like the dour shit we will have to suffer through this Summer & next season 😡

You mean the game where a united player was sent off and vilified in the press and by the non united public?

£#%&! england

Robbo scoring after 27 seconds in 82
Schumacher's foul against France
Brazil v France 1986
Loved the Italy team in 1990
USA 94 was a great World Cup, great games, Romario, Hagi, Stoichkov, Baggio, Maradona great until his ban, Escobar getting murdered - it had it all - shit final though
Downhill since then

For me, I was living in Germany in 2002 and this was decisive in the final. Missing Frings and if this had gone in.....

That’s the one. It ultimately was the making of Becks & it galvanised Utd.

The first one I remember was 74 and had a soft spot for Holland and followed them again in 78 and they lost both finals.

For a country its size it's not half had some top sides at both club and national level


My favourite though has to be Italia 90

Arie Haan and Cubillas ‘78. France v Argentina same tournament. First one I really remember

And then they tried to kick and foul their way to the WC in 2010, total betrayal of their traditions

Van Marwijk is managing us now. I think he'll be a bit more at home with our lot

Great shout

Hard to explain to the younger generation how much everyone hated Germany in World Cups. They weren't always a hipster dream.

Watching Brazil getting tonked for 7 in their own back yard was just utterly hilarity tbh

Heard a few people say that. For me it was very unsettling, seeing the country fall apart. Also had hoped for a great game
