I thought you'd remember as it was played in Spain

Italy beat Germany in the final, 3-0 or 3-1 I think from memory.

I had no clue. I could have guessed, but El Salvador would never have been on the list!

Just checked and Italy won 3-1.
I was working in Italy at the time and watched the final in a bar in Brindisi.
The Italians partied for days after !!
