West Germany Triumphs in a Defense-Heavy FIFA World Cup 1990 in Italy

The FIFA World Cup 1990 was held in Italy from June 8 to July 8. It was notable for a strong emphasis on defensive tactics, resulting in low-scoring games. West Germany won the tournament, defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final, thanks to Andreas Brehme's penalty kick. The tournament saw the emergence of players like Roberto Baggio and the legendary performances of Cameroon’s Roger Milla. It was also the last World Cup before the reunification of Germany and the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
