Gosh! What precious memories.
That was an achievement to qualify with teams such as Holland (my supporting team). However, I am not sure what the Dutch ratings were in football back then, because I've only been following them since 2007.
I was only 14 years old during the 1990 World Cup, and Jamaicans are big Brazilian supporters. However, they would have been supporting Argentina at the finals with Germany.

When Brazil is playing in Jamaica, it's like a national holiday.

I remember the 2006 World Cup when France defeated Brazil. There was a French Chef at the resort, and he was flabbergasted to witness the gloomy solemn mourning of all the staff. He was the only person on the resort celebrating his country's victory. 😅
