Topic: Football World Cup 1990


  
  BBC - h2g2 - Football World Cup, 1990, Italy
However, this was the World Cup that was generally so disappointing that it induced FIFA to make a radical change to the rules of the game.
Two years after this World Cup, the backpass rule was introduced, making it illegal for a goalkeeper to pick up the ball if it had been kicked or thrown to him by a team-mate, and thus outlawing one of the favourite time-wasting tactics of defensively-minded teams.
The 1990 final was, by common consent, the worst in the history of the competition: dull, scrappy, bad-tempered and full of negative, cynical football.
