Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 27, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2020 Any mention of USA '94 requires a compulsory reference to John Aldridge screaming "YOU TWAT!!!!!!" broadcast across the screens of the nation at about half four on a school day afternoon.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 27, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2020 Fond memories of USA 94 and I'm glad England weren't in it as it was my first major tournament after really getting into football. I could just enjoy it for what it was, without the heartbreak of losing a penalty shootout. Me and my older brother watched the vast majority of games on Eurosport I think.

Sphinx Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) USA 94 is my big nostalgia one. Watched the BBC's tournament in review countless times. Dallas intro - Brazil vs. Netherlands Edited March 27, 2020 by Sphinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Owairan's goal against Belgium is Austin winning the belt off Michaels. Roberto Baggio is Mr WrestleMania. Alright, the final is Trips v Jericho from 18 but you can't have everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fond memories of summers when I was young going round Europe with my Dad every week (he was a long distance lorry driver), and us always stopping in the same Belgian truck stop so I could watch Eurogoals every Monday night. Think this might've been commentated on by him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 27, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2020 Goalissimo is better. Having the rights to fuck all so just showing a photo still slowly zooming in of Robinho celebrating a goal as a heartbeat percussion played.  Or Sgorio in the 90s which had the rights to fucking everything and was in Welsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory of Statto on EuroSport is that he had a bet on how many yellow and red cards there would be in France 98Â (like over 25 or something), and Fantasy Football played clips of him obviously wishing a booking through on commentary. "Got to think that's a red, you have to ask how many times the referee can allow fouls like this to continue." Totally washing away any credibility for a few quid.

Cousin Jim Bob Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I remember when I first moved to Liverpool in 2000. First the disappointment on how shit the TV reception was and how I was getting S4C in perfect picture but no ch4 or Five. Then I discovered Sgorio. I think they had La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga highlight rights at the time. It was fucking amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
