![]() One quest will end today, as this fixture becomes the World Cup's most familiar final, edging ahead of Brazil-Italy. Germany are still waiting for their fourth World Cup, while Argentina's hunt for their third goes on. A bravura performance.ġ990: Monzon is sent off for killing Klinsmann, by the looks of it. Off you go, lads! Thanks to a late Brehme penalty, the Germans had their third World Cup, and deservedly so! Argentina can console themselves with having irritated purists and folk who would be known today as hipsters worldwide, so hats off to them for that. ![]() West Germany were too good, and the referee wasn't having any of Pedro Monzon and Gustavo Dezotti's nonsense. He missed a penalty against Yugoslavia, then put another in the same place to knock out the hosts Italy, a country he had nearly plunged into civil war before kick-off with some hilarious Naples-is-not-Italy divide-and-rule mind-games. He did for fierce rivals Brazil with one of the great assists, setting up Claudio Caniggia while being mugged and playing with a dodgy foot. He turned goalkeeper against the USSR and got away with it. ![]() Maradona sashayed through the entire tournament effectively flicking Vs left, right and centre. Apart from the bit where he set up the goal that won a World Cup.ġ990: Argentina at Italia '90 is one of the great under-rated World Cup campaigns. 1986: El Diego was actually pretty quiet in this match.
