Italy 1990 player shirt by Diadora believed to have been issued to Carnevale for the 1990 World Cup Quarter Final against Ireland played at Stadio Olimpico, Rome on the 30th June '90.
The hosts had made it past USA, Czechoslovakia, Austria and Uruguay without conceding a goal and with a 100% record to reach this stage of the competition.
Next up was Jack Charlton's surprise package Ireland who gave the Azzurri a real battle but a piece of predatory forward play by hero of the tournament Salvatore Schillaci secured victory and a place in the Semi's for Italy. Carnevale was fresh on the back of winning the Scudetto with Napoli and started the side's first two games at the Final's before losing his place to Schillaci who was on fire. The nation's hopes and dreams of winning the trophy on home soil were sadly dashed by Argentina after a dramatic penalty shoot-out in Naples. Carnevale moved to Roma after Italia '90 but his appearance against USA at the World Cup would be his last for his country.
