Talk about rough, football in 70’s 80’s were rough.

The era when instead of divings top players rode (read jumped over) challenges (read blatant fouls). It wasn’t better in Spain or Italy either. Maradona got his leg broke in Spain

Italy in 82 butchered him too. Gentile never kicked the ball. Horrible too watch that game.

I completely forgot Diego passed away.
Doesn’t feel right. I still remember this.

Strange to hear that about Italy in that year tbh.

Italy v Brazil 1982 is arguably the greatest World Cup game ever played.

I think West Germany vs France was as good as Italy vs Brazil in 1982

A Schumacher fan, I take it :wink:

Not only because of that, dude :wenger:

Just a breath taking game, trailing 1:3 in the first half of OT, had a bicycle kick to tie it and won on shootout.

Classic of the classic.

The official film for that world cup is called Gole. Sean Connery does the voice over and this Match and Diego treatment highlighted.
