Put 'Em Under Pressure.

I love this video.



I love the maniacal look on Packie Bonner's face as he takes that kick out and I love how Charlton just doesn't like Dunphy. I love how Dave O'Leary takes all Arsenal's penalties and how he's never taken a penalty in life. I love that riff.

I also love this video.



I love the cluelessness on the face of Frank Stapleton and Joe Kinnear ridiculously predicting an Irish win. I love how the players are so Irish (well, some of their Grannys are so Irish) that they didn't take off their caps until the match was just about to kick off, for fear of being burned in the New York sun. I love how crap the caps were too. I love the rendition of Amhran na bhFiann and the roar of the crowd.

I love the audacity of Ray Houghton's goal, sound-tracked by George Hamilton's passionate commentary and the look on Terry Phelan's face that says celebrating that goal with Houghton will be the most important thing he'll ever do in life. I love how when I watched the match live our celebrations of that goal woke a sleeping baby. I love Paul McGrath's epic one armed performance and his humbleness in the interview after. 

2002 was decent too.
