 BBC - h2g2 - Football World Cup, 1990, Italy - A562024
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.
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.

 Poetry and Prose of Indian Sport
here have been many occasions when sporting achievement or failure has moved me. India's World Cup cricket win in 1983, Brazil's loss to Argentina in the 1990 World Cup football, Kenyan athletes domination in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Pat Cash's dream triumph at Wimbledon in 1987, have all stirred me in their own special way.
Like every time World Cup football is held, we expect Brazil to win, so is the case with Indian hockey.
Cricket may attract the larger fan following, performance on the football field may determine the price of fish in Bengal, kushti may bring the entire village's life to a halt, yet it is hockey that brings out the magic and mystery, the poetry and prose in Indian sport.
