Törmäsin sivustoon (
https://italia1990.com) jossa joku askartelee oikein urakalla ja purkaa MM-90 karsintapelit ja lopputurnauksen ottelut. Siellä on todella kattavat raportit peleihin, kuin myös treenipeleihin. Itse kisat on vielä näköjään tekemättä, mutta koska meitä kiinnostaa vain Suomen maajoukkue, niin karsintapelit on jo valmiita.

Wales officially out of World Cup contention after poor performance in a windy Helsinki, where the hosts intimidate their opponents through some brute force tactics. Playmaker Ukkonen redeems himself after some lacklustre displays earlier in the qualification. Lipponen settles the game through an early second half header. Game also sees uncharacteristic spitting incident from Rush on Laukkanen.

The home side do well in the opening 15 minutes, go ahead, but then lose their pace and fluency. Ukkonen has a free-kick goal ruled out for offside against Lipponen, perhaps harshly, but after the break the visitors simply have no answer when the home side turn the screw. Laukkanen keeps the score down for the visitors, but still the hosts brush their way to the top of the table a week before the Netherlands' difficult trip to Wales.
