    How Schumacher stayed on after that is beyond me. That was a great French team

    We go on about dodgy decisions, but that one is up there with the worst. Surely the sight of the player lying with a broken jaw must have made him suspect there had been some foul play?

    Best team in the history of the world was the Brazil team that fell 3-2 to Italy

    The game hasn't changed that much, it was a terrible decision and was recognised as such at the time. If memory serves me correctly Bob Valentine was being touted to get the final but his lack of help from the line cost him that place

    Liverpool versus Arsenal, 1989. Last game of the season, gunners had to win by 2 clear goals. Rest is history.

    Germany 2006 World Cup.

    Was convinced they would win it. They were playing sublime football.

    1914 went to a replay and a Hibs player apparently missed a sitter in the last minute.

    1979 went to 2 replays.

    12 f###ing games.

    Brazil 82 is possibly the most overrated team ever in my opinion. Some great players (Socrates one of my favourite players ever) but I get the impression English hacks in particular drool over them because it takes the limelight away from Argentina and the Germans domination. Italy were absolutely sensational in that game, and then went on lift the trophy in style, but you never ever hear folk waxing lyrical about Italy 82 as much as Brazil 82.

    Did Hearts not lose a cup final to Celtic in the last few minutes or so. Seem to remember van hooijdink scoring 2 late goals?
    Always remember Henry smith dropping 2 late goals at Hampden v Airdrie I think

    I was there but IMO, Hibs weren't close to being a good team around that time.
    Livvy had thumped us twice in the league IIRC, so the final result was hardly a surprise.

    It was a surprise to me, I expected this team to beat Livingston:

    Same drill with 2010. Incredible against England and the Argies.

    Brazil 82 may have been fantastic going forward but they couldn't defend. Which is why they are not the best team ever.

    That Hibs team had SEVEN players in it who already had or have since been capped at full international level.
