[@jl8485]

McGrath was a Goliath in that game .

[@goffredomicheli2870]

If in the final when McAteer hits the crossbar he had scored, the history of the entire World Cup would completely change!!!

Literalmente increíble qué Italia haya perdido y le haya costado tanto la clasificación a 8vos con ese cuadrazo qué tenía .

Thanks! Please, Ireland x Egipty - World Cup 1990

[@shervinbehrad1848]

I remember this game, Ireland deserved their win, come to think of it though Ireland finished above Italy in the group yet ended up with a more difficult second round game against Holland in Orlando and even if they had beaten Holland Brazil awaited them in the Quarter-Finals in Dallas. Whereas Italy played Nigeria in the Second round in Boston and Spain in the Quarter-Finals so perhaps Italy losing this game actually was a "blessing in Disguise" bearing in Mind how the Second Round draw ended up.

[@wallinggraham3836]

i dont think ireland would have beaten nigeria that year though. They were bloody good

[@StaffettaFraternita]

Sì ma l'Irlanda arrivò seconda dietro il Messico quindi non è che potesse lamentarsi. Senz'altro il Brasile era più forte della Spagna (che era comunque la miglior Spagna del decennio) la Nigeria non era inferiore all'Olanda se non forse solo un po' nell'esperienza.

[@javiertapia2650]

Además qué contra España fue altamente beneficiado porqué cuando estaban 1-1 no le cobraron un claro penal a la “furia”

Great game...will never forget it......lost half my body weight.......

In that tournament the captin Barizi played only two matches the first against Ireland and the final against Brazil and waste the first pelanty.

Baresi, not Barizi.

@samiralkayed baresi played against norway in the second match as well.

[@Goalgerd255]

We should have won that game 2 or 3 nil

[@mohdfadzrean6257]

Italy & Argentina have a similar story in the Fifa World Cup, which both of them lost in the 1st match of the group stage, then still passed through to the final. Argentina did it in 1990 after losing to Cameroon & following by Italy in 1994 after being defeated by Ireland.

Where is Robby Keane !?

He didn’t start playing until 98/99 - this was ‘94.

Ireland deserved their win although it proved to be a blessing in disguise for Italy who still got to the final.

[@shervinbehrad1848]

I agree with the blessing in disguise for Italy losing to Ireland however I wish that Nigeria had beaten Italy in Boston in the second round they were so close (2 minutes away if I'm not mistaken). I feel if Nigeria had beaten Italy they would have reached the final because I feel they'd have beaten Spain & Bulgaria too. It could have marked an important moment for African soccer if Nigeria had have reached the final of USA'94. Damn Italy for getting lucky against Nigeria!

[@nicky29031977]

@@shervinbehrad1848 Luck is part of football. It's what gives the game it's romantic element which you don't find in other sports. Anyway Nigeria, for all their attacking brilliance, showed alot of naivety in trying to score more goals. They should have played Italy at their own game and simply sat back and defended and they would have won. Italy deserved to win for the fact that they never gave up even when down to ten men and Baggio's first goal was spectacular considering all the pressure he must have been under. In extra time..it was all Italy, although Rashid Yekini did come close.
