World in Motion : The Inside Story of Italia '90: The Tournament...
“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
Italia 90 was, in a sense, the first and the last World Cup. It was also the best and worst World Cup. It was football stood at a junction. In this book Simon Hart explores the full global impact of the 1990 World Cup, speaking to players from far and wide to retell the tale of a tournament that drew double the worldwide TV audience of its predecessor, and which left those 26bn viewers enthralled and appalled in equal measure enthralled by the joyous contributions of scoring heroes like Cameroons hipwriggling veteran, Roger Milla, and Italys wideeyed boy from nowhere, Toto Schillaci, yet appalled by the cynicism of an Argentina side who somehow dragged themselves, kicking and screaming, to the final. It was not just Gazza crying there were tears of joy at breakthrough triumphs in Cameroon and Costa Rica, in the Republic of Ireland and United Arab Emirates. For Europes Eastern Bloc participants it was the end of an era. For the United States it was the beginning of one. Italians were left wondering where it went wrong on the pitch and, in time, off it too. World In Motion remembers the good, the bad and the ugly of Italia 90 the final World Cup before the advent of the Premier League and Champions League, when walltowall televised football was still a treat, and when the global game was still full of novelties ... but not for much longer.
