It's Sunday. Even though many of my posts are memories of past World Cups, Sunday is always my day dedicated to a good, entertaining story. This one covers a few criteria:
- It is inspired by a never ending argument with a very good friend about some football related incident or other over the course of the last 34 years. And tomorrow is his birthday so to make him happy I'll show him how those were 2 very clear penalties on Lineker in 1990.
- It happened at Italia '90, the World Cup on which there is universal agreement that it was one of the most boring in recent history; but for reasons explained many a time by me over the last two years has a special place in my bank of "things that make me feel good".
- It involved probably the most entertaining match from 1990
- Watching the video reminds of the amusing part of this memory: the referee. Watch him as he awards the penalties. I wrote about this before but I did laugh again. Never has a referee seemed so pleased with himself for deciding a penalty was a penalty.
