Great player. RIP.

Such a shame at what is a relatively young age.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

What a player. The German 3 at Inter were fantastic players as were the Dutch at Milan. RIP.

No age, that.

And they all met at the San Siro in the Round of 16 when the Germans took on the Dutch. West Germany had looked like one of the 2 best sides in the competition (the other being the host nation), and the Dutch looked a shadow of the side of 2 years earlier. Van Basten failed to score in his only World Cup tournament. Gullit did manage one goal against Ireland but was largely shackled (he'd had a few knee issues over the previous couple of seasons). Rijkaard hadn't been his dominant self, and his most memorable moment was gobbing in Voller's perm not once but twice. In contrast, Matthaus was the best player in the tournament, Klinsmann was on fire and Brehme was hugely productive in both assisting as well as scoring goals.

 

Brehme scored the winning goal against the Dutch, got a goal against England in the semi final (thanks to a wicked deflection and Shilton's concrete boots), and of course the winning goal in the final.

 

Incredible to think that the 1990 World Cup winning coach and the player that got the important goal have both passed on within months of each other.

Great player - played a big part in knocking Ingerlund out of world cup in 1990 too, so deffo one of the good guys.

 

RIP

RIP. 64 seems incredibly young all things considered.
