@retro.calcio: WORLD CUP VILLAIN: ON THIS DAY Italia 90 🇮🇹⬇️⬇️ Dutch midfielder Frank Rijkaard spat on West Germany’s Rudi Voeller twice during FIFA World Cup Round of 16 Match, 24th June 1990. Germany v Netherlands, 24 June 1990 Score 2-1 to Germany Referee Juan Carlos Loustau Competition FIFA World Cup Finals 2nd round Venue Giuseppe Meazza, Milan Attendance 74,559 The Germans were clearly struggling to come to terms with all of the movement and positional interchanges, but the match completely changed in the 21st minute when Frank Rijkaard spat on Voeller. For some reason, the Argentinean referee, Juan Carlos Luustau, decided to send off both players, but, by his own admission, fault lied entirely with the Dutchman. Rijkaard apologized a few months later and explained that his nerves were frayed because he and his wife had divorced right before the World Cup. #rijkaard #rudivöller #dfb #oranje #onsoranje #fifaworldcup #italia90 #giuseppemeazza #sansiro #unforgettable #onthisday #worldcupmoments #perm #acmilan #intermilan #asroma #legends #calcio #futebol #futbol
