I'm old enough to remember the only time you saw foreigns, was when a world cup came round, and in relation to the RULEZ. I breakz them everyday as I follow Juventus cause Platini and Boniek used to play for them, Marseille because of the hunchback of geordieland Waddle's anguish when they were duped out of the european cup by red star belgrade, Barca mainly because of Romario, and Hagi, and Stoichkov, and Ronaldo (the first one) and Koemans - Ronald, and the de Boer twins, Ajax, because of the original - to me anyway youth team of Finidi George, Seedorf, Davids, Overmars, and Kluivert, Sampdoria because of Football Italia and Gianluca Vialli, Deportivo La Coruna, because of Bebeto, Hamburg, because of Keegan, PSG because of Rai and Ronaldinho and Okocha.
I could go on, but I won't...
Italia 90 was a great world cup, upsets and tension from the off, that holland/germany match had so much vitriol in it, and I did Germany a disservice, they had a great world cup, took teams apart, beat us in the semi's (which I can never forgive or forget) and then played such negative tentative football in the final it coloured my whole perception of that tournament..
