The tournament was my first real memory of a World Cup, and it remains one of my favourite, despite not really being regarded as a classic.
What's your best memory of the event?

The tournament that got me into football in the first place.
My long lasting memory is asking my Dad who Paul Parker played for just about every England game. I very nearly became a QPR fan it seems.
Was a great tournament though.
Baggio being boss.
Roger Milla doing his dance.
Rene Higuita going AWOL.
Voller doing a bit of spitting.
Brilliant stuff.

Sheedy!
The green Germany kit, properly horrible but I liked it for some reason
I didn't watch it at the time, but I remember picking up most of the official Italia 90 VHS's following Euro 96 and loving them
That's the beauty of video I suppose

Gazza's tears after going out to Germany in the semi and the whole country watching that game.

Yeah it was Voeller that caught one in his perm.
Went past Verona's ground a couple of years ago (concrete Monstrosity) and they still have the logo's up from Italia 90

Schillaci symbolises Italia 90 for me, he had an amazing tournament, scored 6 goals and then disappeared into obscurity. That and the whole Gazza thing
