Two Rivalries, One World Cup Sunday

from OTD: Your Daily Dose of Soccer History · host 17 Laws Guy

OTD E0236 — 24 Jun 1990: Italia ’90 gives us Brazil–Argentina in Turin, then West Germany–Netherlands in Milan. Argentina survive Brazilian dominance through one Maradona pass and Caniggia’s finish, with the “holy water” scandal becoming toxic folklore. Hours later, Rijkaard spits at Völler, both are sent off, and West Germany beat the Dutch 2–1. This episode traces the rivalries, the matches, the controversies, and how the two winners ended up in the World Cup final.Ideas: [email protected]
