Summary

First round

The format of the 1990 competition remained the same as 1986: 24 qualified teams were divided into six groups of four. The 1986 FIFA World Cup, the 13th staging of the FIFA World Cup, was held in Mexico from May 31 to June 29. The top two teams and four best third place finishers from the six groups advanced to the knockout stage round of 16.

The 1990 World Cup finals got off to a surprising start. In the first match, Cameroon soaked up pressure from Argentina for most of the first half. The Cameroon national football team, nicknamed Lions Indomptables (Indomitable Lions, is controlled by the Fédération Camerounaise de Football and is Africa's The Argentina national football team is the national football team of Argentina and is controlled by the Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA After a quarter of an hour's play in the second half, Cameroon's Andre Kana was sent off, and it seemed certain that the world champions would now take control. André Kana-Biyik (born September 1, 1965 in Sakbayenne) is a former cameroonian Football (soccer player in midfielder role But six minutes later, the ten men took the lead. François Omam-Biyik scored when he placed a perfect downward header past Argentine goalkeeper Nery Pumpido. François Omam-Biyik (born May 21, 1966 in Sakbayenne) is a former football player from Cameroon. Nery Alberto Pumpido (born July 30, 1957 in Monje Santa Fe) is a football coach and former Goalkeeper who played Argentina pressed hard for an equaliser, and Cameroon were reduced to nine men when Benjamin Massing got the red card in the 89th minute - but the African team still held out for a shock 1-0 win. Benjamin Massing (born June 20, 1962) is a Cameroonian former international footballer who played as a defender. Then, when Cameroon faced Romania in their second game, Roger Milla took centre stage. The Romania national football team is the national football team of Romania and is controlled by the Romanian Football Federation. Roger Milla (born Albert Roger Mooh Miller, May 20, 1952) is a Cameroonian former football forward. His inclusion in Cameroon's squad had been controversial. He'd been a favourite in the Cameroon team for years, but he was now 38 years old. He was only in Italy because of political intervention: Paul Biya, Cameroon's President, had insisted that Milla be included in the squad. Paul Biya (born 13 February 1933) has been the President of Cameroon since November 6, 1982. Against Argentina, Milla only appeared for the last ten minutes. But in the match with Romania, Cameroon coach Valeri Nepomniachi sent him on in the 58th minute, with the score still 0-0. Valeri Kuzmyich Nepomniachi (Валерий Кузьмич Непомнящий (born 7 August 1943) is a former Russian Football (soccer player It proved to be an inspired move. Milla scored with 15 minutes left, then added another with five minutes remaining, thus getting two opportunities to demonstrate his trademark hip-shaking goal celebration dance. Gavrila Balint scored for Romania, but it was too little too late. Cameroon held on to win 2-1. Surprisingly, they were beaten 4-0 in their last group game by a Soviet Union side desperately, and unsuccessfully, striving to stay in the tournament on goal difference. The USSR national football team was the national football team of the Soviet Union. Despite the heavy defeat, Cameroon were through to the second round as group winners. Romania came second in Group B, and Argentina just scraped into the second round as one of the best third-placed teams, having lost goalkeeper Pumpido for the rest of the tournament to a broken leg sustained early in their win over the USSR.

Another surprise team emerged from Group C. Costa Rica beat Scotland 1-0 in their first match, held Brazil to another 1-0 scoreline in their second, then saw off Sweden 2-1 to claim a place in the second round. The Costa Rica national football team, nicknamed La Sele, is the national team of Costa Rica and is controlled by the Federación Costarricense de Fútbol The Scotland national football team represents Scotland in international football and is controlled by the Scottish Football Association. The Brazil national football team is the national team of Brazil and is managed by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF that represents Brazil in international The Swedish national football team is the national football team of Sweden and is controlled by the Swedish Football Association. Brazil bore little resemblance to the free-flowing, free scoring Brazilian sides of earlier years, but they still took maximum points from the group. They began with a 2-1 win over Sweden, then beat both Costa Rica and Scotland 1-0. Scotland's 2-1 win over Sweden wasn't enough to save them from an early return home as they were one of the two lowest-ranked third placed teams.

Group F, featuring the Netherlands, England, the Republic of Ireland and Egypt, perfectly encapsulated what was wrong with the 1990 World Cup finals. The Netherlands national football team is the national football team of the Netherlands and is controlled by the Royal Netherlands Football Association The English national football team represents England in international football and is controlled by The Football Association, the governing body for football The Republic of Ireland national football team represents Ireland in international football. The Egypt national football team (منتخب مصر لكرة القدم nicknamed The Pharaohs, is the national team of Egypt and is administered by the In the six group games, no team managed to score more than once in a match. England beat Egypt 1-0, thanks to a 64th minute goal from Mark Wright - and that was enough to win the group. Mark Wright (born 1 August 1963 in Dorchester, Oxfordshire, England) was an English international footballer now turned The Republic of Ireland and the Netherlands matched each other's standings and could only be separated into second and third place by the drawing of lots (the Irish won, although the Dutch progressed as well). However, one of the biggest surprises of the group was the Egyptian football team. Having only progressed to the finals once in World Cup history, The Egyptian team was expected to make no meaningful impact on the group. In its first match, Egypt faced Netherlands, at the time Netherlands was crowned European Champions in 1988. Most pundits expected a wash, but Egypt won a convincing draw against the Dutch (1-1), in a highly contested game. In a dismal game, Egypt drew with Ireland 0-0, in a very uneventful game. Sources cite that the Egyptian coach played as defensive as a game could be and as a result, the Irish coach (Jack Charlton) refused to shake hands with his Egyptian counterpart. Egypt's luck would run out in the third match against England, who proved too strong for the African squad. England sealed the game with a 1-0 victory coming in the second half. Despite its failure to advance from the group stage, Egypt's team playing football was a signal that African football was on the rise, a trend strongly enforced by Cameroon and Nigeria in the 1990 World Cup and beyond.

There were more goals in Group D, but a lot of them were due to the defensive inadequacies of a United Arab Emirates team that lost 2-0 to Colombia, 5-1 to West Germany and 4-1 to Yugoslavia. The United Arab Emirates national football team is the national team of United Arab Emirates and is controlled by the United Arab Emirates Football Association. The Colombia National Team represents Colombia in international football competitions and is controlled by the Federación Colombiana de Fútbol. The German national football team (Die deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft From 1950 to 1990 the team was also informally called West Germany in English as since The Yugoslavia national football team refers to the national football team that represented the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1920-1941 and the Socialist Federal Republic All three of the UAE's first round opponents reached the last 16, with West Germany topping the group after an impressive 4-1 win over group runners-up Yugoslavia. Colombia needed a late equaliser against West Germany to secure their place.

Italy won Group A with a 100 per cent record achieved via cautious football. The Italian national football team is controlled by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC and represents Italy in international football competition They beat Austria and the United States 1-0, and Czechoslovakia 2-0.

Salvatore Schillaci (born December 1, 1964 in Palermo) commonly referred to by his nickname Totò, is an Italian former Czechoslovakia thrashed the USA 5-1 and claimed the runner-up spot in the group, while the USA's first appearance in a World Cup Finals since 1950 ended abruptly after three consecutive defeats.

Second round and quarter-finals

The second round featured some intriguing fixtures. Two of the ties - Argentina vs Brazil and Italy vs Uruguay - pitted former champion countries against each other, and West Germany met the Netherlands in a rematch of the 1974 World Cup final. The all-South American game turned out to be a tight, edgy affair, won for Argentina by a goal from Claudio Caniggia with ten minutes remaining from a magical run of Diego Maradona through the Brazilian defense and an outstanding performance from their goalkeeper Sergio Goycochea. Claudio Paul Caniggia (born January 9, 1967 in Henderson Buenos Aires) is a former Argentine football forward, who played Sergio Javier Goycochea haˈ&betajeɾ gojkoˈʧea (born October 17, 1963 in Lima Buenos Aires) is a famous Argentine former football A strong second half showing from Italy saw them beat Uruguay 2-0, thanks to another goal from Schillaci and one from Aldo Serena. Aldo Serena (born in Montebelluna on 25 June 1960) is an Italian former footballer. The West Germany-Netherlands clash produced a repeat of the Euro 88 semifinal. The 1988 UEFA European Football Championship final tournament was held in West Germany. The match turned ugly after 22 minutes when Rudi Völler and Frank Rijkaard, in an infamous moment, were dismissed for a bizarre spitting incident. Rudolf 'Rudi' Völler (born April 13 1960) is a German former international football Striker, and a former manager of the German Franklin Edmundo "Frank" Rijkaard (born September 30 1962 in Amsterdam) is a Dutch football manager and former player Early in the second half, Jürgen Klinsmann put the West Germans ahead and Andreas Brehme added a second with eight minutes left.

Meanwhile, the run of Cameroon and Roger Milla continued. In Cameroon's game with Colombia, Milla was introduced in the 49th minute with the score 0-0. The scoreline stayed that way after 90 minutes, and after the first period of extra time. And then, as those around him tired, the veteran shone. Milla scored twice in four minutes in the second period of extra time. Bernardo Redin reduced the deficit for Colombia with five minutes left, but the 'Indomitable Lions' held out to win 2-1. Bernardo Redín Valverde (born 26 February 1963 in Cali) is a former Colombian footballer. For the first time ever, an African team was in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. A single-elimination tournament, also called a knockout, cup or sudden death tournament, is a type of Tournament where the loser of each

The other first-round giant-killers fared less well. Costa Rica were comfortably beaten 4-1 by Czechoslovakia, for whom Tomas Skuhravy scored a hat-trick. Tomáš Skuhravý (born September 7, 1965 in Přerov nad Labem) is a Czech former football player A hat-trick in Sports is associated with succeeding at anything three times in three consecutive attempts Yugoslavia beat Spain 2-1 after extra time, with Dragan Stojkovic scoring both the Yugoslavs' goals. Dragan Stojkovic ( Serbian: Драган Стојковић Dragan Stojković) (born March 3, 1965 in Niš, Serbia, The Republic of Ireland's match with Romania remained goalless after extra time, and the Irish side won through 5-4 on penalties. David O'Leary converted the penalty that clinched Ireland's place in the quarter-finals. David Anthony O'Leary is an Irish football manager and former player The Republic of Ireland thus achieved the remarkable feat of reaching the last eight in a World Cup finals tournament without actually winning a match outright.

The most intriguing match of the quarter-finals was between England and Cameroon. Apart from anything else, it was the only quarter-final to produce more than one goal. Despite Cameroon's heroics earlier in the tournament, David Platt put England ahead in the 25th minute. David Platt may refer to David Platt (footballer -- A football player David Platt (Coronation Street -- A character on Coronation But at half-time, Milla was brought on, and the game was turned on its head in five second half minutes. First Cameroon were awarded a penalty, from which Emmanuel Kunde scored the equaliser. Emmanuel Jerome Kundé (born July 15, 1956) is a Cameroonian former professional football defender. Then, in the 65th minute, Eugene Ekeke put Cameroon ahead. Eugène Ekéké (born May 30, 1960) is a former Cameroonian footballer. With the African nation only eight minutes away from reaching the last four, England were given a lifeline after being granted a penalty and Gary Lineker scored from the spot, forcing the game to extra-time. Gary Winston Lineker, OBE (born 30 November 1960 in Leicester) is a former English international football Striker who scored Lineker scored from another penalty kick in extra-time, giving England a 3-2 win and a place in the semi-finals.

The Republic of Ireland's World Cup run was brought to an end by a single goal from Schillaci in the first half of their quarter-final with Italy. Another dull match saw West Germany beat Czechoslovakia with a 25th-minute Lothar Matthaeus penalty. Argentina and Yugoslavia played out a stalemate that stayed at 0-0 after extra time, despite the fact that Yugoslavia were reduced to ten men after half an hour when Refik Sabanadzovic, assigned with the task of marking Maradona, was sent off. Refik Šabanadžović (born August 2, 1965 in Tuzi, Montenegro, SFR Yugoslavia) is a retired Montenegro -born Bosniak Argentina reached the semi-finals after winning the penalty shoot-out 3-2.

Pedro Antonio Troglio (born July 28 1965 in Luján, Buenos Aires) is a retired Argentine football player and manager

Semi-finals, the third-place match, and the final

The first semi-final featured the host nation, Italy, and the world champion, Argentina. 'Toto' Schillaci scored yet again to put Italy ahead in the 17th minute, but Claudio Cannigia equalised midway through the second half. There were no more goals in the 90 minutes or in extra time despite Maradona showing glimpses of magic, but there was a sending-off: Ricardo Giusti of Argentina was shown the red card in the 13th minute of extra time. Ricardo Omar Giusti (born December 11, 1956, Arroyo Seco) is a former Football (soccer midfielder from Argentina. Argentina went through on penalties, winning the shoot-out 4-3 after more heroics from Goycochea, who saved two spot kicks again. The semi-final between West Germany and England was goalless at half-time. Then, in the 60th minute, a shot from Andreas Brehme was deflected by Paul Parker which resulted in a goal. Paul Andrew Parker (born West Ham, London, 4 April 1964) is a retired English footballer with QPR and Manchester United But then, with 10 minutes left, Gary Lineker equalised for England. The game ended 1-1, and West Germany won the penalty shoot-out 4-3. Italy and England played an uninspiring game for third place, with Roberto Baggio and Schillaci scoring to give the hosts a 2-1 win and the bronze medal. Roberto Baggio (born 18 February 1967 in Caldogno, Veneto) is a retired Italian footballer among the most technically gifted

The final between West Germany and Argentina, described by veteran football writer Brian Glanville as "probably the worst, most tedious, bad-tempered Final in the history of the World Cup",[1] produced several football firsts. In the 65th minute, Argentina's Pedro Monzon was sent off for a foul on Klinsmann, becoming the first player ever to be sent off in a World Cup final. Pedro Damián Monzón (born February 23, 1962 in Goya Corrientes) is an Argentine football coach and former footballer best known It has been said that Klinsmann exaggerated his reaction to the foul, causing the referee to perhaps have been more severe with the punishment. Team-mate Gustavo Dezotti received the second red card of the game with four minutes left after he hauled Jürgen Kohler to the ground during a stoppage in play. Gustavo Abel Dezotti is a former Football (soccer striker from Argentina. Jürgen Kohler (born October 6, 1965 in Lambsheim) is a German football manager and a former football player Shortly before Dezotti's departure, referee Edgardo Codesal Mendez of Mexico awarded a penalty to West Germany, from which Andreas Brehme scored the only goal of the game. Andreas "Andy" Brehme (born 9 November 1960) is a German football coach and former football defender. The 1-0 scoreline provided another first: Argentina were the first team ever to take part in a World Cup final without scoring.

Overview

With its third title (and three second place finishes) West Germany became the most successful World Cup nation for four years, until Brazil won their fourth title in 1994. The 1994 FIFA World Cup, the 15th staging of the FIFA World Cup, was held in the United States from June 17 to July 17 1994 West German team manager Franz Beckenbauer became the second footballer, after Mário Zagallo of Brazil, to win the World Cup as a player (in 1974) and as team manager. Franz Anton Beckenbauer (born September 11, 1945) is a German football coach manager and former player nicknamed der Kaiser Mário Jorge Lobo Zagallo (born August 9, 1931 in Maceió) is a Brazilian football coach and former player of Lebanese origin from The 1974 FIFA World Cup, the tenth staging of the World Cup was held in West Germany from June 13 to July 7. In doing so, Beckenbauer also became the first captain of a winning team to later manage a winning squad. Italy's Salvatore Schillaci won both the Golden Boot as the tournament's top goalscorer, with six goals, and the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player. Salvatore Schillaci (born December 1, 1964 in Palermo) commonly referred to by his nickname Totò, is an Italian former At the end of each FIFA World Cup final tournament several awards are attributed to the players and teams which have distinguished from the rest in different aspects of the game At the end of each FIFA World Cup final tournament several awards are attributed to the players and teams which have distinguished from the rest in different aspects of the game

The 1990 World Cup is widely regarded as one of the poorest World Cups ever [1]. It generated a record-low goals-per-game average and (at the time) record 16 red cards. Most teams relied heavily on defensive play and hard tackling, as well as aggressive intimidation of the referee. In the knockout stage, many teams would "play it safe" for 120 minutes and try their luck in the penalty shootout, rather than risk going forward. Three of the 4 quarterfinal matches, both semifinals, the 3rd place play-off, and the final were decided on a penalty shoot-out or a match-winning penalty kick. Runners-up Argentina were the prime example of this trend, scoring only five goals in seven games (they had, however, lost half their team to injury or suspension by the final). Eventual champions West Germany were one of the few teams to initially choose an attacking style of play, although they too became more defensive as the tournament progressed.

Mascot

The official mascot of this World Cup was Ciao, a stick figure player with a football head and an Italian tricolor body. Each FIFA World Cup since 1966 has its own Mascot. World Cup Willie, the mascot for the 1966 competition was the first World Cup A stick figure is a very simple type of drawing made of sticks and circles generally of the Human form although stick figures of other types of Animals are possible See also List of Italian flags The flag of Italy ( La bandiera d'Italia, often referred to in Italian as Il Tricolore) is a Tricolour Its name is an Italian greeting. This World Cup saw The Three Tenors begin their tradition of performing on the eve of the final.
