nostalgia       This World Cup campaign took place against a
political backdrop of riots due to the poll tax, hooliganism and
requests from No. 10 for England to withdraw from the
tournament. This alone should show how much football has changed
in the years since. The documentary also shows the extent to
which the print media were easily swayed. Pre tournament Bobby
Robson obtains another job with PSV and is villifed for this
choice. Post tournament he still goes to PSV but as a hero. Key
difference between the DVD and the Blu Ray is the very good
sound quality. Lots of good asides, would have preferred some
more extras (England goals from the tournament for example), but
this is a terrific warm up for this WC and brought back a lot of
memories for me. Some might regard the late 80s as having
features which should be brought back (terraces and cheap
tickets), but few go to the game worried for their safety now or
the safety of friends or children.
