Can I go back please. It actually made me emotional hearing this for the 1st time in years. So many fond memories! Not just from the football but of life back then. Is it just me or did life seem so much more innocent back then! No selfies, mobiles, internet just you and your mates kicking a ball up and down your street!
My first proper World Cup as a kid and still my favourite. I vividly remember the hot summer nights, the colourful glow of the television screen every evening and of course England getting to the Semis. God, I wish I could relive that time.
ShaiyaStudios thats exactly how i feel. I get goose bumps hearing this theme. It was the greatest world cup for me, as it was my first one. The late summer nites, the world stage. 🙌🙌🙌
@ShahidKhan-ke8fe yes this world cup is remembered fondly but in reality it received a lot of criticism at the time for the defensive tactics employed by a lot of teams
Beautifully put. An age of mystery and innocence. This theme tune and the video creates a magical feeling. I was 12 at the time. Oh, to wake up back to 1990.
One of the greatest world cups I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Cameroon beating Argentina in one of the early games as I recall just set the scene for the tournament completely. Way too many memories.
Very underrated theme tune, overshadowed by Pavarotti.As great as Nessun Dorma was,I prefer this.I've never forgotten that stunning Brazilian lass either.
I bunked off the last two lessons of school to watch the opening of the Italia 90 World Cup to see Maradona. He didn't disappoint with another display of artistry & magic before kick off. The greatest of all time, incomparable. Argentina lost to Cameroon though!
Cameroon actually turned out to be a pretty decent team. so much so that they came within 7 minutes to being in the semifinal. then england got 2 pens awarded.
This was the best world cup ever!!! The hot summer, a great England team, brilliant memories!! Was great to see and hear this again, gave me goosebumps!! Thanks for the upload and making someone very happy!!
Thanks,it really was an amazing world cup and I think you deserve 100*/* of the credit because I would cry listening to this great music. You should try to make more of other world cups. Then I'll be extra happy.
England was brilliant in 1990. Gazza's tears,Lineker scoring against Cameroon and that anger when Germany beat us on penalties in the semi finals. 1990 was a year no England fan should ever forget.
A wonderful time. Pubs had TVs showing games for the first time I think. England so so so unlucky when Paul Parker charged down West German free kick. Football in England was finished prior to 1990 World Cup but the pride of the Lions changed the course of footballing history. Paul Gascoigne...total legend.
Best World Cup tournament ever and theme. I was nearly 13 years old was the first time I fully followed a world cup and anytime I hear this theme gives me goosebumps. Ah happy memories.
Best ever world cup, some fantastic players on show, England had a brilliant team and Ireland were fantastic aswell, didn't sleep for a week after England knocked out, I was 14 seems like yesterday .👍😀👌
1:33 - Time Travellers of youtube, please get in touch - money waiting for the ability to travel to Italy to comfort this heart-stoppingly pretty Brazilian girl.
Jayfive276 at school all us lads fancied her. There’s a clip somewhere where she later gives an ironic smile to the camera. All us 15 year olds then wanted to cheer her up
30 years on it's now retrospectively widely remembered and regarded as the poorest World Cup of all time - yet I couldn't hate Italia 90... So many iconic moments and so many memories / so much nostalgia. I was 10, so was far too young to remember 1982 and only have very vague memories of Mexico 86, but this theme tune and BBC's Nessun Dorma were both brilliant that World Cup. Remember the Panini Sticker albums, Coca-Cola balls, England / New Order's #1 hit World In Motion, T-shirts with the mascot Ciao on, long hot summer days, being allowed to stay up late to watch the matches... And, having never had much of a relationship with my dad for the first ten years of my life (as my younger sister was his favourite), I have very fond memories of this particular World Cup from suddenly spending lots of time with him and - possibly like many other young boys in that era - bonding with my dad through football... Now I'm 40, and my dad is no longer with us (he passed away two years ago aged 67), but I do have a 9-year-old son of my own, and we have an absolute blast together watching the football every weekend... Some memories are just priceless! Tutti Al Mondo - football is indeed truly the world's game! ⚽️
It was poor although I'd say 2010 was worse and remains the worst ever. Italia '90 had all the ingredients to be a great World Cup - great host nation, great stadiums, great players - but it just didn't happen. The first round was decent but after that we had lots of negativity and games ending in penalty shoot-outs. The era of teams being too afraid to lose had arrived.
Spot on mate, I was 8 and it's the first world cup I remember!Had the little mascot football and a full England kit as we had an umbro factory in our town!I even remember watching gremlins after west Germany beat us in the semi's..crazy eh?!
wow, this sums it all up, i was only a kid myself in this tournament and dont remember a lot of the footy itself but remember the music, pavarotti, gazza, the sticker albums and i had one of those coca cola balls, which my cousin booted into oblivion never to be seen again, but what terrific memories, would love to go back in time even for a moment.
that sweet moment when Canigglia scores and put out of the world cup Brazil, Brazil on tears, disappointment, suffering on the fans and on this beautiful lady or the moment when the dutch give a masculine sign of tenderness and affection to Rudy Voeller, ha, ha, impossible to forget that memorable summer of 1990 when you were at that time a young school student , even when sometimes this world cup is remembered like the anti-football cup with strong defensive systems of playing and not big individuality, creations and speed, of course for me i remember more and with more affection the world cups of 1978, 1982 in Spain with great matches like Brazil-Italy or France-germany and 1986 in Mexico with matches like France-Brazil or Argentina-england , better times those years of 1980s and beginning of 1990s. more simple, natural and spontaneous and free all the evil and disasters and troubles of all kind that are present in our actual era.
The only thing I can remember clearly about this was the opening ceremony with the ladies in the see-through tops. Not impossible that I'm imagining that though.
This video has everything, great music, best world cup ever and pretty ladies, just need Billy Connolly running on the pitch with nowt on for some LOL's !
For me, Mexico 86 was the best. But that’s coz it was my first WC, and you got to stay up late watching games in a far off exotic country. Italia 90 was good, but not quite on a par with Mexico. Just my opinion though and I know everyone’s got their own favourite. Usually their first.
I understand what you are saying. You never forget your first. 😉😂🤣 It was a great tournament. But Euro 88 and Italia 90 always hold a special place in my heart. Those were two great summers for me as an 18 and 20 year old.
I was 16 years old when Italia 90 was played and I can remember crying with joy when Ireland keeper Packie Bonner saved the penalty against Romania setting up a quarter final tie against Italy. It was without a doubt my happiest moment as a Celtic and Ireland fan.
Aye, Stojkovic, Prosenecsky and co. Roger Milla's dance at the corner flag and not even his last world cup too despite his age! USA's first World Cup since 1950, the USSRs, Czechoslovakia and West Germany's last world cups before political change and the fall of the iron curtain. Scorpion Kick Colombian keeper. Maradona playing to for the Neapolitanos and for their support for Argentina against Italy, with the working class narrative of the poor south against rich Italy. Ireland hit the quarters. Schillaci was the draw but Baggio outshone him in many respects and the player people were talking about to watch. Rijkaard spat in Voller's hair in the ever heated German-Dutch rivalry. Hagi world cup debut. England laughed at Cameroon in the tunnel and were arrogant then proceded to have their arses handed to them till they woke up and corrected it. 😂😂😂 My beloved Scotland embarresing us by underestimating Costa Rica and supplying yet more heart ache, another 1 goal narrow loss to Brazil and a victory over Sweden but too little too late. A Spanish side most people probably forget qualified for the world cup. A South Korea side that didn't quite capture the imagination like they did in Mexico 86 with Cha Bum Kun. A final that was a wet flannel with a poultry penalty to decide the result, German efficiency rather than beauty determining the result. Ahhhh Italia 90! A classic, but no means the best world cup there has ever been, probably at least 4 tournaments ahead of it.
A wee bit of nostalgia there... it was actually a terrible World Cup with lots of sendings off and the lowest average goals per game ever. But yet for those of my generation it was still magical, with the shocks, the drama and the local interest. And this theme was overshadowed by Nessun Dorma, and thus its brilliance rarely commented on. Delighted to be able to enjoy it again! (PS: I always doubted those women were *really* Brazilian. So cynical so young...)
Yeah, the actual football quality was abysmal, they even changed some rules after it. The final match was a disgrace, still, it was fun to watch and get caught up in the drama.
The best sides were England,Germany and Cameroon since they actually tried to score goals instead of stalling around for the penalty shootout. That Argentina-Germany final was downright ugly though TBH finals are usually a let down.
millions of Brazilian are from European or Caucasian ancestry, do you know that millions of European people from Italy, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Spain , Portugal , Greece , Macedonia, Switzerland, Croatia, Sweden, their ancestors migrated to centroamerica and south America at the same time when other millions of relatives migrated to australia, Canada, USA, south Africa, new Zealand, in fact millions of European traversed the panama isthmus long time before the canal of the French lesseps and the Americans of teddy Roosevelt was completed, they made that on the train route or railway who crossed at the 19 century that territory of Colombia, then the new grenada republic, they migrated to the Americas and Caribbean region on the 19 and 20 centuries, not only to north America the Europeans and Asians ( with Arabs, Turks , and Jews also ) migrated, on 19 and 20 centuries, millions of European and also Asian labourers, tradesmen and peasants and miners ( from china, Korea, japan , Philippines , the French Indochina and British former colonies of India , ceylan and Burma ) migrated to centroamerica, caribbean islands and south America, the Europeans and Asians settled principally in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay , Mexico, costa Rica, Cuba, Venezuela , Guatemala, panama, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Guyana, Belize, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Surinam, bonaire, Aruba, curazao, trinidad and Tobago, Bolivia , in fact if you read documents or fact sheets like the CIA reports on Latin America, Oxford studies of Latin America by leslie bethell and other historians on other books, or the Wikipedia page on race and culture, ethnicity on Latin America you will find that 35-40 percent of the total population of Latin America are originated from white, European or Caucasian or Indo-European ancestry and they arrived there from 16 century until 19 century in one first wave of migration, with 600 thousand Spanish migrants, military personnel , clergymen, settlers, traders, miners, officials and peasants , for the Spanish kingdoms of overseas, for Brazil , similar number of Portuguese arrived to their former overseas kingdoms in the Americas and Asia , Brazil also was colonized on 17 century by the Dutch , when they took the north east of Brazil from the Portuguese and on 16 century the French protestants also had colonies on the south east of Brazil, those colonies were lost to the catholic Portuguese after war between Huguenots of France and the Portuguese, the second wave of European migration to the new born nations of centroamerica and south America and also the Caribbean and Mexico begun on 19 century , hundred thousand of Europeans and yanks settled on Texas , Texas was a territory of Mexico until the yankee invasion and war of 1845, also was the same with California, Utah, new Mexico, Colorado , Arizona, the British arrived to the ex-former Spanish colonies with the wars of independence of those nations, 20 thousand British, Scottish, Irish and also European Napoleonic veterans and yanks fought on the bloodiest hispanoamerican wars of independence against Spain with o Higgins, Bolivar and San martin, in fact many non Spanish or Portuguese subjects arrived before the independence of those countries of Spanish and Portuguese empire because, the European monarchies or kingdoms or empires on Europe were multinational and multicultural kingdoms and empires, that was the case for the Habsburg house of Austria and Spain on 16-17 centuries but also for the bourbons of Spain and France on 18 century , after the independence the British and American capitals and investments made those countries and economy more efficient and productive and connected to Europe, USA and the globe , with the money arrived people and on 19 century millions of Europeans who were poor and without rights, freedom, jobs, opportunities of a better life on their own countries who were very social conservative and oppressive and with big capitalist exploitation, searched new horizons and opportunities on USA, new Zealand, south Africa, Rhodesia, Surinam, Canada , British or French or Dutch colonies on the Caribbean sea or Asia or the French and British Guyana but also on the new independent countries of the ex-former Spanish and Portuguese viceroyalties, also the modern Brazil was created by the British when the British fleet helped the Portuguese crown, the court and 20 thousand notables of the braganza kingdom of Portugal to flee to Brazil when napoleon and his French armies invaded and captured Spain and Portugal, on the Spanish war of independence against the French Napoleonic invaders the British helped the Spanish juntas and people on the struggle against the French, British armies were sent to Portugal and Spain , wellington was there , on charge of those armies and he worked with the Spanish armies but also Spain and Britain were former old enemies and rivals and competitors for the global supremacy with their own empires and cultural, economical, social, political, religious and philosophical different ways of life and thinking, on the 18 century the people ( under command of blaz de lezo ) of the city of Cartagena of western hemisphere, of western indias , the ordinary people of that former seaport and important city of the viceroyalty of new Granada on the Spanish empire defeated a fleet and army of 20 thousand British and colonial subjects of north America and Jamaica and on 19 century the ordinary people of Buenos Aires and Mendoza and Cordoba defeated a similar task force of British army and fleet under command of Beresford, a British army who had took before Montevideo and colonia of Sacramento, when those military operations to consolidate a British empire on south America and Caribbean sea failed, a new approach and tactics was implemented , why, because great Britain and also western Europe needed at that time, just like on the previous 16, 17 18 centuries, the natural resources and the markets of the western hemisphere, of the Americas, remember that was the destruction and conquest of the pre-columbian societies, kingdoms, empires, civilizations and cultures and their enslavement and exploitation on agriculture and intensive mineral activities that made possible the social and economic resurgence and transformation of western nations of Europe from the dark age of the medieval times to the capitalist, global integrated and controlled world by the Europeans and their posterior conquests on Asia and the pacific and their war against Islamic multicultural and multiracial civilization, the conquest of the Americas by the Europeans and their integration, miscegenation, with the surviving populations of that conquest of the 156 century until 20 century made possible the rise of the white men and the new western civilization, very different from the classical western civilization of Greece and Rome and also of the empires and kingdoms of the medieval times but with ties and related links with those old times, the capitalism begun on Italian Mediterranean and close related to the silk continental european-asian and species trade, cities of the 14 century, before the discovery and conquest of the Americas and the begin of the Africa sub-Saharan slave trade but were those 2 important keys that made possible for the first time on the history of the earth, the emergence of an integrated and global world control only by a unique and important civilization with their own fissures, internal fractures and difference and with their own nationalities, races, groups and religious different churches and communities, and that was successful, that new tactic begun with a new form of colonialism and imperialism, first by the English and French and later by the yankees, Russians and Germans and Italians and Japanese ( on Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico , Cuba and centroamerica you will millions of people with Korean, Japanese and Chinese ancestry, in fact in the cosmopolitan modern big region and industrial city of sao paulo, millions of people living there are Brazilian from Japanese, Italian, German, Austrian, French , Korean ancestry, they can speak and write and they have also the costumes and traditions and folk, cultural behaviour of the motherlands of their ancestors , not only the American or the continental or Portuguese or native or African roots of the nation ) , maybe you must to travel more outside Europe or USA or Anglo-Saxon countries, this new approach was the origin of the American real melting pot, not only on USA , on 19 and 20 centuries but on all western hemisphere, it begun at the 16 and 17 centuries with the Spanish and Portuguese, drench, Dutch and British and continued with the yankees and the Russians, Japanese, Chinese, Iranians,Indian, Arab, Turks, Germans, Italians and others, actually , on present times you have there a neocolonialism or economical and political indirect control by the metropolitan and global elites and leader and RULERS NATIONS OF THE peripheries OR COLONIAL AREAS LIKE AFRICA, ASIA, pacific AND SOUTH AMERICA, the economical and cultural and social and intellectual control of those new countries with indirect political control or a mirror of a free political Independence of those countries, only a mirage, not a true reality, only if you are a wasp or a white settler, white racist and European ethnocentric supremacist ( like all followers of HEGEL, Gobineau and Stuart chamberlain ideas and Rudyard Kipling and Cecil Rhodes ideals )supremacist living on USA, Canada, australia or if you are a white imperialist and racist nostalgic of old times you will not understand what i mean......

I hear ya man. football from morning to night.
It's 2022 I'm 42 I hear you buddy 👍
Confirm your opinion absolutely!
Amore Italia 90 fantastico
I hear you too. Watched the opening with my Dad (who I didn't have a great relationship with) but now he's gone, I realise life is short.
My first proper World Cup as a kid and still my favourite. I vividly remember the hot summer nights, the colourful glow of the television screen every evening and of course England getting to the Semis. God, I wish I could relive that time.
ShaiyaStudios thats exactly how i feel. I get goose bumps hearing this theme. It was the greatest world cup for me, as it was my first one. The late summer nites, the world stage. 🙌🙌🙌
That time is now..
Without doubt, the greatest games of football ever seen. The stuff of legend!
In truth it was one of the lowest goal scoring tournaments ever. But to the ten year old me, it was the best world cup and best summer ever.
@ShahidKhan-ke8fe yes this world cup is remembered fondly but in reality it received a lot of criticism at the time for the defensive tactics employed by a lot of teams
A world before premier league football; Passion, Desire, Joy, Fun, Sadness, Respect, Commitment, Inclusivity, FOOTBALL!!!!!
Beautifully put. An age of mystery and innocence. This theme tune and the video creates a magical feeling. I was 12 at the time. Oh, to wake up back to 1990.
Inclusivity? Wasn't that back when black players used to get bananas thrown at them?
@@_wormlet Was meaning more that the fans were part of the game back then, rather than just cash cows
1:40 Respect?! #ShitHouseryAtItsFinest 🤦♂😂
DIgital synth goodness. With lots of Orchestra Hit thrown in gratuitously. Great stuff.
Thirty two years since this wonderful tournament. 🥰
This is a very underrated theme tbh!
Nessum Dorma rightly grabs all the headlines, but I loved this one too!
Not underrated at all
One of the greatest world cups I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Cameroon beating Argentina in one of the early games as I recall just set the scene for the tournament completely. Way too many memories.
i was only 6 when this world cup was on but i have vivid memories of some of the games, this ITV theme and BBC's nessun dorma were both fantastic.
1990 omg such emotions lovely tune
Very underrated theme tune, overshadowed by Pavarotti.As great as Nessun Dorma was,I prefer this.I've never forgotten that stunning Brazilian lass either.
Not underated
@@shane-irish I think a lot of people don't remember it, rarely gets mentioned.
the Brazilian hottie is now an old woman, sad.
@@gumdeo well it depends on your definition of old.Probably in her 50's.
I agree, she was a stunningly beautiful girl.
Best ever World Cup that brought the world together and one of the best World Cup theme tunes ever!
Will live long in the memory. What a better time and world
Ah, good memories of the summer of 1990.
Don't know why this intro makes me emotional, my first World Cup watching.
Same.
That's exactly why mate. There with you. I think coz I go back to that child before life battered me down.😊
Its lovely tune and memoryies
Everyone kept banging on about the Pavarotti intro on BBC but ITV had the best WC version in 1990.
Been saying this for 34 years finally someone agrees ❤
BBC's was vastly superior.
This was my world cup. I always watched it in Sweden whilst visiting relatives for the summer holidays.
This song evokes Great memories.
I have to say I'm a big fan of BBC when it's comes to football but ITV's theme was better
That beautiful Brazilian girl is probably in her mid-late 50s now.
I bunked off the last two lessons of school to watch the opening of the Italia 90 World Cup to see Maradona. He didn't disappoint with another display of artistry & magic before kick off. The greatest of all time, incomparable. Argentina lost to Cameroon though!
Cameroon actually turned out to be a pretty decent team. so much so that they came within 7 minutes to being in the semifinal. then england got 2 pens awarded.

I was 11 years old & this tournament cemented my love of the game. Happy memories thanks :-)
Carbon copy story matched to yours.....11 yrs old ,watched Maradona shade tears receiving silver medal and i have been love with the game ever since
My God.... this reminds me of being 10 years old again!!
Was my exact age too back then watching this world cup, really takes me back. Magic
I was eight.
my first world cup...this vid reminds me of a time when I was young and full of dreams
Italia 90 had this and nessun dorma on BBC, both absolute classics nothing will ever come close, if only I could go back in time, if only for a month
Oh the memories. Such an amazing world cup. It had everything! Even Scotland!
DAMN YOU CAYASSO
Great trip down memory lane
Best World Cup and music
No it was a shite world cup. But the music was great
Shit world cup great music
Music was decent, but the tournament itself was mostly boring.
Best World Cup tournament ever and theme. I was nearly 13 years old was the first time I fully followed a world cup and anytime I hear this theme gives me goosebumps. Ah happy memories.
Same here I was 10 and first time I fully understood what was happening . Great tournament and players
Best ever world cup theme song.
Iconic! So many great memories.
I was 14 years old . Long hot summer days with no worries. Football was better and the themes. People just got on well with each other. Good old days.
2021 and still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up 😁👍# 🇮🇹 90. With the players 🏴 had we should have won this World Cup
Best ever world cup, some fantastic players on show, England had a brilliant team and Ireland were fantastic aswell, didn't sleep for a week after England knocked out, I was 14 seems like yesterday .👍😀👌

South Africa 2010 was awful in so many ways.. the shite ball, vuvuzelas, the refereeing decisions, low-scoring games and piss-poor overall quality.
A blast show, easily the best World cup.
Italy with this ended the legendary 80's and opened the 90's
When Germany knocked England out of the semi Lothar Mathias went to console England players before celebrating the win.
Class Act.
Lothar Matthaus was nice after he won, but was ungracious when he lost. For example the 1999 Champions League final.
Superb world cup
Don’t remember this theme, but what a tournament it was, the best World Cup in my living memory.
Oh yeah the memories from this long hot summer - what a great year this was !! Thanks for the upload
No problem, thanks.
Did you notice that no one hated this video and lots did like it?

I was 16 years old when Italia 90 was played and I can remember crying with joy when Ireland keeper Packie Bonner saved the penalty against Romania setting up a quarter final tie against Italy. It was without a doubt my happiest moment as a Celtic and Ireland fan.
Can’t find this on Spotify grrrr - tutti al frustrati!
Sad thing every player there has passed. Maradona GOAT the last
0:28 - World Cup Eng erland calm youuuuuuu?
What a theme what a year #1990
Well done to the brilliant Germany team that won this World Cup 🇩🇪🏆⚽
Best world cup ever Ireland quater finals
So underrated
Great Memories a England team we could be proud of lucky argentina The italian Machine, a great Young Yugoslavian team and Mr Milla
Aye, Stojkovic, Prosenecsky and co. Roger Milla's dance at the corner flag and not even his last world cup too despite his age! USA's first World Cup since 1950, the USSRs, Czechoslovakia and West Germany's last world cups before political change and the fall of the iron curtain.
Scorpion Kick Colombian keeper. Maradona playing to for the Neapolitanos and for their support for Argentina against Italy, with the working class narrative of the poor south against rich Italy. Ireland hit the quarters. Schillaci was the draw but Baggio outshone him in many respects and the player people were talking about to watch. Rijkaard spat in Voller's hair in the ever heated German-Dutch rivalry. Hagi world cup debut. England laughed at Cameroon in the tunnel and were arrogant then proceded to have their arses handed to them till they woke up and corrected it. 😂😂😂
My beloved Scotland embarresing us by underestimating Costa Rica and supplying yet more heart ache, another 1 goal narrow loss to Brazil and a victory over Sweden but too little too late.
A Spanish side most people probably forget qualified for the world cup. A South Korea side that didn't quite capture the imagination like they did in Mexico 86 with Cha Bum Kun.
A final that was a wet flannel with a poultry penalty to decide the result, German efficiency rather than beauty determining the result. Ahhhh Italia 90! A classic, but no means the best world cup there has ever been, probably at least 4 tournaments ahead of it.
Best moment - 02:05
I still love Natalie McGhee
1:40 😂😂
YES FINALLY FOUND IT 😂
Italia 90 was a great world cup
We ran out of steam back then
Englands best chance to win the world Cup so close
A wee bit of nostalgia there... it was actually a terrible World Cup with lots of sendings off and the lowest average goals per game ever.
But yet for those of my generation it was still magical, with the shocks, the drama and the local interest.
And this theme was overshadowed by Nessun Dorma, and thus its brilliance rarely commented on. Delighted to be able to enjoy it again!
(PS: I always doubted those women were *really* Brazilian. So cynical so young...)
Yeah, the actual football quality was abysmal, they even changed some rules after it. The final match was a disgrace, still, it was fun to watch and get caught up in the drama.
The best sides were England,Germany and Cameroon since they actually tried to score goals instead of stalling around for the penalty shootout. That Argentina-Germany final was downright ugly though TBH finals are usually a let down.
millions of Brazilian are from European or Caucasian ancestry, do you know that millions of European people from Italy, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Spain , Portugal , Greece , Macedonia, Switzerland, Croatia, Sweden, their ancestors migrated to centroamerica and south America at the same time when other millions of relatives migrated to australia, Canada, USA, south Africa, new Zealand, in fact millions of European traversed the panama isthmus long time before the canal of the French lesseps and the Americans of teddy Roosevelt was completed, they made that on the train route or railway who crossed at the 19 century that territory of Colombia, then the new grenada republic, they migrated to the Americas and Caribbean region on the 19 and 20 centuries, not only to north America the Europeans and Asians ( with Arabs, Turks , and Jews also ) migrated, on 19 and 20 centuries, millions of European and also Asian labourers, tradesmen and peasants and miners ( from china, Korea, japan , Philippines , the French Indochina and British former colonies of India , ceylan and Burma ) migrated to centroamerica, caribbean islands and south America, the Europeans and Asians settled principally in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay , Mexico, costa Rica, Cuba, Venezuela , Guatemala, panama, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Guyana, Belize, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Surinam, bonaire, Aruba, curazao, trinidad and Tobago, Bolivia , in fact if you read documents or fact sheets like the CIA reports on Latin America, Oxford studies of Latin America by leslie bethell and other historians on other books, or the Wikipedia page on race and culture, ethnicity on Latin America you will find that 35-40 percent of the total population of Latin America are originated from white, European or Caucasian or Indo-European ancestry and they arrived there from 16 century until 19 century in one first wave of migration, with 600 thousand Spanish migrants, military personnel , clergymen, settlers, traders, miners, officials and peasants , for the Spanish kingdoms of overseas, for Brazil , similar number of Portuguese arrived to their former overseas kingdoms in the Americas and Asia , Brazil also was colonized on 17 century by the Dutch , when they took the north east of Brazil from the Portuguese and on 16 century the French protestants also had colonies on the south east of Brazil, those colonies were lost to the catholic Portuguese after war between Huguenots of France and the Portuguese, the second wave of European migration to the new born nations of centroamerica and south America and also the Caribbean and Mexico begun on 19 century , hundred thousand of Europeans and yanks settled on Texas , Texas was a territory of Mexico until the yankee invasion and war of 1845, also was the same with California, Utah, new Mexico, Colorado , Arizona, the British arrived to the ex-former Spanish colonies with the wars of independence of those nations, 20 thousand British, Scottish, Irish and also European Napoleonic veterans and yanks fought on the bloodiest hispanoamerican wars of independence against Spain with o Higgins, Bolivar and San martin, in fact many non Spanish or Portuguese subjects arrived before the independence of those countries of Spanish and Portuguese empire because, the European monarchies or kingdoms or empires on Europe were multinational and multicultural kingdoms and empires, that was the case for the Habsburg house of Austria and Spain on 16-17 centuries but also for the bourbons of Spain and France on 18 century , after the independence the British and American capitals and investments made those countries and economy more efficient and productive and connected to Europe, USA and the globe , with the money arrived people and on 19 century millions of Europeans who were poor and without rights, freedom, jobs, opportunities of a better life on their own countries who were very social conservative and oppressive and with big capitalist exploitation, searched new horizons and opportunities on USA, new Zealand, south Africa, Rhodesia, Surinam, Canada , British or French or Dutch colonies on the Caribbean sea or Asia or the French and British Guyana but also on the new independent countries of the ex-former Spanish and Portuguese viceroyalties, also the modern Brazil was created by the British when the British fleet helped the Portuguese crown, the court and 20 thousand notables of the braganza kingdom of Portugal to flee to Brazil when napoleon and his French armies invaded and captured Spain and Portugal, on the Spanish war of independence against the French Napoleonic invaders the British helped the Spanish juntas and people on the struggle against the French, British armies were sent to Portugal and Spain , wellington was there , on charge of those armies and he worked with the Spanish armies but also Spain and Britain were former old enemies and rivals and competitors for the global supremacy with their own empires and cultural, economical, social, political, religious and philosophical different ways of life and thinking, on the 18 century the people ( under command of blaz de lezo ) of the city of Cartagena of western hemisphere, of western indias , the ordinary people of that former seaport and important city of the viceroyalty of new Granada on the Spanish empire defeated a fleet and army of 20 thousand British and colonial subjects of north America and Jamaica and on 19 century the ordinary people of Buenos Aires and Mendoza and Cordoba defeated a similar task force of British army and fleet under command of Beresford, a British army who had took before Montevideo and colonia of Sacramento, when those military operations to consolidate a British empire on south America and Caribbean sea failed, a new approach and tactics was implemented , why, because great Britain and also western Europe needed at that time, just like on the previous 16, 17 18 centuries, the natural resources and the markets of the western hemisphere, of the Americas, remember that was the destruction and conquest of the pre-columbian societies, kingdoms, empires, civilizations and cultures and their enslavement and exploitation on agriculture and intensive mineral activities that made possible the social and economic resurgence and transformation of western nations of Europe from the dark age of the medieval times to the capitalist, global integrated and controlled world by the Europeans and their posterior conquests on Asia and the pacific and their war against Islamic multicultural and multiracial civilization, the conquest of the Americas by the Europeans and their integration, miscegenation, with the surviving populations of that conquest of the 156 century until 20 century made possible the rise of the white men and the new western civilization, very different from the classical western civilization of Greece and Rome and also of the empires and kingdoms of the medieval times but with ties and related links with those old times, the capitalism begun on Italian Mediterranean and close related to the silk continental european-asian and species trade, cities of the 14 century, before the discovery and conquest of the Americas and the begin of the Africa sub-Saharan slave trade but were those 2 important keys that made possible for the first time on the history of the earth, the emergence of an integrated and global world control only by a unique and important civilization with their own fissures, internal fractures and difference and with their own nationalities, races, groups and religious different churches and communities, and that was successful, that new tactic begun with a new form of colonialism and imperialism, first by the English and French and later by the yankees, Russians and Germans and Italians and Japanese ( on Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico , Cuba and centroamerica you will millions of people with Korean, Japanese and Chinese ancestry, in fact in the cosmopolitan modern big region and industrial city of sao paulo, millions of people living there are Brazilian from Japanese, Italian, German, Austrian, French , Korean ancestry, they can speak and write and they have also the costumes and traditions and folk, cultural behaviour of the motherlands of their ancestors , not only the American or the continental or Portuguese or native or African roots of the nation ) , maybe you must to travel more outside Europe or USA or Anglo-Saxon countries, this new approach was the origin of the American real melting pot, not only on USA , on 19 and 20 centuries but on all western hemisphere, it begun at the 16 and 17 centuries with the Spanish and Portuguese, drench, Dutch and British and continued with the yankees and the Russians, Japanese, Chinese, Iranians,Indian, Arab, Turks, Germans, Italians and others, actually , on present times you have there a neocolonialism or economical and political indirect control by the metropolitan and global elites and leader and RULERS NATIONS OF THE peripheries OR COLONIAL AREAS LIKE AFRICA, ASIA, pacific AND SOUTH AMERICA, the economical and cultural and social and intellectual control of those new countries with indirect political control or a mirror of a free political Independence of those countries, only a mirage, not a true reality, only if you are a wasp or a white settler, white racist and European ethnocentric supremacist ( like all followers of HEGEL, Gobineau and Stuart chamberlain ideas and Rudyard Kipling and Cecil Rhodes ideals )supremacist living on USA, Canada, australia or if you are a white imperialist and racist nostalgic of old times you will not understand what i mean......
@@juancarlostelleztellez5365 😴😴😴😴😴 I bet you're fun
Back then was real football,
Overshadowed by Nessun Dorma
LoLzZ85 This is a good song in its own right, but you’re right in that it was overshadowed
I think they were both very good.
I preferred this to the BBC's opening titles.
Bloody Pavarotti with his big-arse bellowing.
I half expect a young Sports presenter Alan Partridge to say CIAO AHA!
1:33 Mia Malkova crying in her Brasil shirt. Don’t pretend you don’t know who she is
Someone should start a fundraiser 🤪
who is Mia Malkova ?
@@juantellez7521 Google her. Google her incognito…..
Así se llegó a la final
Whos watching this after italy winning the euros
After this weeks results I wish we were back in 1990!!!
Why does this make me nostalgic wtf?
Brings back wonderful childhood memories.
My favourite world cup.
Hard to believe and difficult to take…but ALL 6 footballers in the opening montage are now dead
This was actually an excellent theme but unfortunately it was up against Nessun Dorma, the greatest opening theme music ever.
mmh nostalgia mode
Respect to Lineker...bbc shd watch his goals before getting rid of him. Shame on you bbc tory stooges
I think England honestly have a chance to bring it home on July 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would have been interesting to see Cameroon play West Germanyin the semis!The Germans would have found it tough!!
when the argies debut against an african or muslim team and they lose, you know it's going to be a terrific world cup
England peak
