Also, I remember the 94 World Cup for Romario, Stoichkov, Klinsmann, Hagi and Baggio basically showing they were untouchable as world class players.

Klinsmann's flick with the left, spin, and volley it in with the right was a great goal. Hagi's long range chip into the top corner, that he definitely meant. Stoichkov and Romario banging in the goals, both my favourite players at my favourite club, Barcelona.

Oleg Salenko getting 5 goals in a game stands out, too. Daniel Amokachi and Nigeria tearing Argentina apart had me and my mates running out to my back garden to have a frantic kick-around.

Saeed-al-Owairan scored one of the best goals ever at a WC, too. Never gets the credit like Maradona's goal against England does, even though it was just as good.

The German side then was still great, too, with Sammer, Lothar Mattheus, Kohler, Andy Moeller, Tomas Hassler etc. all in their prime.
