Go on, go on

Norman Whiteside scoring for norn iron against Algeria and then Algeria to score almost an identical goal in the second half. Funny how WC 86 is very hazy yet WC90 I can remember  nearly every kick

[An Watcher]

Mexico 86 and I think it was Diego Maradonas Argentina playing South Korea in the group stages. 

[SaffronSports]

Italia 90, Ireland drawing 1-1 vs England.

Getting a 1982 t-shirt with an Orange in it. Gerry Armstrong's goal against Spain. Other wonder is it a real memory or a memory of having seen it so often on the TV....definitely saw the game though

Mexico 86 opening game

Eder's goal in 82 was part of the RTE intro later in the tournament after the evil Italians beat Brazil.

A total banger

Rossi, Altobelli and Tardelli scored the goals in the final. Tardelli turned up in the Trap entourage years later.
Armstrong's goal was unbelievable. We wondered if we would ever get there. 

Rossi was unstoppable.
The World Cup made the summer interesting because both the hurlers and the footballers were shite.

Not sure which came first Keanes goal v Germany or Ronaldinhos lob v England. 2002 was my earliest world cup i can remember

[Orior]

1970 Mexico. First time I had heard of altitude training.

Armaghniac probably has older memories

[Harold Disgracey]

1978 Mario Kempes and ticker tape, the Van de Kerkhofs and Archie Gemmill's goal against Brazil.

The Brazilian fella sticking one  in the top corner past Pat Jennings in Mexico

Or Gary Lineker's  hat trick v Poland or Paraguay,

can't remember which happened first though
