If you can make that begin with J, N, Q or Y, then it’s IN!

J is for James Rodriguez and that turn and volley

N is for Nessun Dorma and the opening credits for Italia '90

Q is for qualification and laughing at Scotland's failure to do so

Y is for Yellow cards and Graham Poll awarding three of them to one player in the Croatia v Convicts match.

T - Tardelli's goal celebration in the 1982 World Cup Final

My first real memory of the World Cup and I still love the pure emotion today

[video=youtube;_UdgoeIevhY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UdgoeIevhY[/video]

THAT!!!!! That is passion. That is the most awesome goal celebration of all time. None of this choreographed ********, stupid dancing, shirt removing rubbish that players seem to think are cool. This is "I've just won the World Cup, and nothing is ever going to be a goods as this".

Tardelli has two versions of this. In the first he simply screams "gol gol gol", but I prefer the one where he says he screams "TARDEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIII"
 
D....DRUG taking DEUTSCHLAND,winning the 1954 world cup...then 2 players being positive(on drugs) in the 1966 world cup final and NOWT done about it:angry:
 
Glad that **** Schumacher lost two World Cup Finals.

went to the Ipswich V Köln s/f (81),this big $$$$ pushed past all the little kids waiting,so i stood in his way,on purpose,then he signed the programme i had.
Had no idea who this $$$$ was,so i asked 2 Germans,they said Schumacher....if he had lived 50 years before,he would have been in the SS and loved every minute of it...$$$$
