Day 10 - The Last Glance - Italia ’90 - One Day at a Time
The first big hurdle in our project has arrived, the dubious honour of having to sit through what might well be the worst football game of the 1990 World Cup all over again fell to the feet of Rob Murphy, Ciaran O’Hara, Billy Joe Padden and Colin Sheridan. Despite the unenviable challenge of re-watching Ireland’s 0-0 draw with Egypt, the quartet completed their mission successfully and can now say with almost cast iron certainty that they have boldly gone where no self respecting Irish person will ever go again by taking one last glance at that infamous encounter which may go down as the worst game of the Jack Charlton era. In happier news, the crew also look back at two much more entertaining encounters as Belgium once again lit up the competition with their brilliance and Spain found their feet.
