FREE ITALIA 90 MAGAZINE!
This month in FourFourTwo (the magazine, that is) we continue our series telling the inside stories of previous World Cups with Italia 90: a tournament that smoothly slips a pair of rose-tinted glasses onto the face of every Englishman but which to everyone else was⦠well, a little bit dull.
Fortunately thereâÂÂs nothing dull about a free 36-page supplement that features Roger Milla dancing, Toto Schillaci scoring, Frank Rijkaard gobbing, Saint & Greavsie in leather, plus Pavarotti, the Pope and ColombiaâÂÂs birdman.
Thanks to our sponsors, Coca-Cola, weâÂÂve also got the opportunity for 10 lucky readers to win tickets to see the real-life, actual World Cup as part of the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour which comes to London on March 11.

The only thing is that to get your hands on the free magazine, you need to buy the new issue of FourFourTwo â which is on sale now.
ItâÂÂs no great hardship, mind. It does, after all, feature all thisâ¦
The Bonkers World Of Diego Maradona
HeâÂÂs got the worldâÂÂs best player but does he know his first XI? Well, put it this way, heâÂÂs used another 99 players in his first 12 months in charge. And heâÂÂs fallen out with his mentor.
And employed his best mate as assistant (although heâÂÂs got no experience). And he thinks everyoneâÂÂs out to get him (which they probably are).
Our experts on the ground reveal the full, mind-boggling story of the internal strife thatâÂÂs ripping apart the Albiceleste and ask: How do you solve a problem like Argentina?

⢠Incredible photos from football in Buenos Aires
⢠Gabriel Batistuta answers readersâ questions
