Talking of World Cup matches... In July 1990, was on a climbing trip in the Massif des Écrins in the French Alps with a Scottish mate, we were camping in the valley between climbs. Recall finding a bar where we watched Enger-land vs West Germany. That didn't turn out too well. Fuck me that's 36 flippin' years. 'The semi-final between West Germany and England at Juventus' home stadium in Turin was goalless at half-time. Then, in the 60th minute, a free-kick tapped to Andreas Brehme resulted in a shot which was deflected off Paul Parker into his own net. England equalised with ten minutes left Gary Lineker was the scorer, Parker somewhat redeeming himself by providing the assist. The game ended 1–1. Extra time yielded more chances. Klinsmann was guilty of two glaring misses and both sides struck a post. England had another Platt goal disallowed for offside. The match went to penalties, and West Germany went on to win the shoot-out 4–3, Pearce having his penalty saved and Waddle firing over the bar. Edited on 15/07/2026 at 15:49:28.
