Bebeto (whose kid it was) and Romario. Dunno the other guy.

Think Romario scored one of the favourite goals in that game. The little skip and half volley from the centre on the end of a cross.

The other guy happens to be Mazinho, who happens to be the father of Barcelona's Thiago.

Remember it well. It was my first World Cup and I really enjoyed it. I was only just 7 but I have a lot of really clear memories of those games, and not just the Irish ones.

I remember it as a great tournament but might just have been because it was my first World Cup.

Would have been Ireland on the receiving end of that celebration if we had beaten the Dutch in the second round, I doubt everyone would've been copying the celebration then!

Bebeto was a terrific player. He always seemed to be a really nice guy unfairly over-shadowed by the loud but charasmatic Romario. At the time people alleged they hated each other and it was a big deal for Romario to join thal goal celebration.

Mazinho was alright. It was one of the most limited Brazil teams I've ever seen though. I remember they had Mazinho and also a guy called Zinho, who was number 9. I thought it was funny to have two such similar sounding names. I was young and stupid then.

I was 8 in 94, looking at that picture is like hearing songs from years ago and remembering when they were released it just makes you feel old.

It was also the tournament where (arguably) Celtic's greatest ever player first caught a lot of people's eye

This was the tournament I got introduced to a new idol in the form of Jorge Campos. As a short arse who loved playing in goals (and had a touch of eccentrics even as a kid) I was fascinated with the guy!

i remember it well, a great world cup, all of them since have not been as good, the first one i can remember well was 82. 86 was the best one i ever saw. we have had some really bad world cups that one in japan was terrible stuff, south Africa was also poor enough.
