1990 FIFA WORLD CUP - Italy
The 1990 FIFA World Cup, the 14th staging of the World Cup, was held in Italy from June 8 to July 8. Italy was chosen as hosts by FIFA on May 19, 1984, making it the second country to host the event twice. USSR was the rival of Italy's candidacy to host the event. It was won by West Germany, who beat Argentina 1-0 in a controversial final to win the World Cup for the third time.
A total of 52 games were played in Italy. Cameroon and their experienced striker Milla (CAM) ignited the tournament with their shock victory against Argentina before finally bowing out in the quarter-finals against England. Matthaus (GER) led by example for the eventual winners West Germany; guiding his country to their third FIFA World Cup™ triumph.
