Can this be included under the definition of 'football'? Rugby league fans would say yes. And I'm including it because I do believe it to be the GREATEST PIECE OF SPORTING COMMENTARY IN HISTORY:

This isn't really retro, but this is some belting commentary - especially at the 4th goal Laugh

Possibly the best game of football I've ever seen.

Love the Italian commentary as well.

I don't remember much about this game, other than the fact Gazza was immense and I was gutted (much worse than the 5-1)

Yes, the Italian commentary on that is magnifico. Really adds to the sense of how momentous the climax to that match - by far the best international since 2000, and the best World Cup game since 1986 - truly was.

Here's the Argentinian commentary, featuring a certain Diego Armando Maradona:

Watched that game round my mate's house, went home and watched it again on the red button.

As much as there were some brilliant bits of play to get us through that match (Naysmith :wub: and Simpson :o ), John Rowbotham giving them nothing was beautiful to see Warnock

Imagine these days even getting a referee like him against Celtic, let alone having a decent penalty claim ignored and then handed a debatable one at the other end Laugh

First three games I ever saw on tv were Everton v Rapid Vienna, Liverpool v Juventus and Scotland v Wales.

It's lucky that I took Adrian Heath as the positive from that trio.

Tell you what, for all some people might hate him, what a fucking player Graham Souness was.

Easily one of the best midfielders in the world in his prime. Hard to think of a better captain when he was winning everything with Liverpool.

Dem passes Wow

Dose tackles Fist

Dat shooting VanGaals Bitch
