The Italians are a good football?

The exact year eludes my memory, but it is certain that the claim at times between the 1974 World Cup in Germany and the 1978 World Cup in Argentina that I decided to join, see what the hype about football was when I decided to watch my father in a game. Not that I do not remember who played but do not ask me how I was learning more about playing the game in question.

My father, whoseName was also John (who died this year) I knew it was a big fan of football (soccer, what the Italians call him BE) or the sport that I heard growing up in the U.S. as "soccer" knows how many times I had seen bedroom or living my parents' only a game with friends and family. I noticed how strong action to enter the room, although I did not even know then what was the game. It 'happened on that day will never forget that, asa rare opportunity for my father, I just started playing for his solo.

I remember the room and began to watch the game and to be honest, I could not at first sense of the game. I saw some people take a ball around a field all to score, had one on each side, but I could not see what was the object of the game. Of course I asked my father what was the goal of the game told me that the point of setting the ball in the goal and it wasYou have a point or a goal as they called it. Of course, in His description of what I would later discover, a great sport he has not ruled out such details that only the two goalkeepers Were able to use their arms or hands, and the player does not work out, and what should be a angle (in Italian football Angulo), off-site (forum game Mar) and were foul.

Since these two teams, I do not know, played on, while I own this game for the first time I really started to askif it was possible to put the ball into the net as I could with the minutes passing the ball to see that it is even closer to both goals. After what must have been ten minutes I asked my father this actually happen? I mean, put the ball in half? Have you ever seen that happen? . He can not see the first reason for my question, but then realized that the ball does not even begin, make up the target, which was recorded in a target, however,Laughing my question, he told me that the objectives have been achieved in football, but only an average of two or three times in a game happened.

I do not remember much of this first game then other bored as I was not even finished watching the game when football was for all intensive purposes, introduced me. I tried to see some other games and then I went to see goals scored again when I do not think to ask what I've seen teams until I started to think of a daybecause my father was Italian, asking: "Italy is a good football?" he asked. My father then told me with some pride that Italy was one of the best in this sport and that Italy had also won the World Cup on two occasions, even if you do not forget to mention, that was long ago were in 1934 and 1938.

Until then, for the year 1977 during the last part and he told me that in Italy the following week was a game against England, that determine what would be one ofwould play the next World Cup in Argentina, which would take place. The match between England and Italy was actually the first game I remember ever since he told me, was one in Italy that did not need to win and Could even afford to lose no less than two goals Of course, I did say that if Italy were eliminated by three loose then it would be like if England, going to the World Cup would be in Italy.

Asthe game in motion, it was not long in England, scoring a header in the form of a curly-haired player named Kevin Keegan is therefore zero for the British. My father was natural that Italy is moving in this game while I'm not really for every train, especially since Italy does not start eating, and at this point I'm in football are not yet aware of the Cup World. This game is played "Wembley Stadium" England would be 2 Italy 0,eliminated, which means that Argentina, Italy qualified for the World Cup 78, while England was.

Italy had qualified, but it meant a lot to me at the moment because he had won. As regards the time that Spain followed between then and the World Cup I see farther in Italy to play another game against Spain, they lost again 2-1 in a friendly, although this, like my father told me, does not mean too much. However, it was in the period upWorld Cup I was a big fan of football, reading what I have in the past, sport and those who had played in it. I also saw some footage from previous World Cup, beat his head still in my doubts, as in Italy weather could play this game really, because they can not, Argentina qualify for the quarterfinals losing to Poland and before which they lost 2-1 and the second, which barely a draw in aa piece.

Of course I read the great Italians like Gianni Rivera, Milan players, thanks to which even to this day I played AC Milan (AC Milan fans), Gigi Riva, Giuseppe Meazza, Piola and other formats, but these had long ago I did think that maybe not Italy had a great football, despite what my father told me. Regardless of my doubts about the World Cup in Argentina began with the first game, which Germany and Poland and took my hardScore leadership by a space from the game.

Upon his Italian team, I knew that the name "Azur" in the field against France, I was willing to see and hopefully win it and see for yourself that most people could not come down from football. Now, looking back on this I can say that if Italy was unable to make a good start gone bad. 38 seconds had gone to France and was on his feet with a zero Lacombe meI just want something different to see, but it was my father told me that was not yet over. I really thought Italy was easy because I saw Platini France beat Brazil (1-0 gate) before the World Cup in Paris and keep them in a draw (2-2) at Rio, but I was tuned After all, even then I could see the World Cup in soccer was a big deal.

Italy has begun to move forward and buoy 29 minutes, a very young player named Paolo Rossi led usback into the game by leveling problems of a single piece with a strange goal that returned by mail and another player before the inside will never forget the hysterical cries of "Goal", which I, as this has happened, and I heard, I started to admit the feeling, the emotion is missing to win in Italy, as one of many around "tifossi" for me. As the game continues in the second half got back to Italy. This time it was a marked Renato Zaccarelli us to remain high, as we kept winning, 2-1.

I sawall other games, but Italy has the greatest interest for me, I could see, my grandmother was also caught in the "Football". I remember, Brazil a last minute goal annulled the won against Sweden, they have a 2-1 (because the final whistle was preceded by two seconds), forced to settle for a draw 1-1.

Italy won its next match against Hungary 3-1 with Bettega, Smith again Benetti do the honors, with only HungaryManaged by the Toth of a diskette, when the score was already 3-0 in favor of Italy. Then came the home team, Argentina, who won the first two games, but this made no difference, it was not like Italy, they lost the game 1-0 on a goal by Bettega, who played for Juventus . Until then, I knew that this was a game of Italy might just as well if not better than most of the game, and I also started to see how the Champions Azurro not do, however, Italian born started alongside my father,Italian family in me.

However, I was told by many in Italy, there is still the way to the wire to win a trophy along the FIFA World Cup, would have done But I was optimistic. The next game as well, but did not get to Italy, where Germany has seen us draw with West at 0 (time defending World Champion) in a match all that we score as Italy hit the post Kaltz and had one saved on the line, a German defender. The second round game in the quarterfinals sawItaly returns to victory against Austria 1-0 with a goal 16 minutes Rossi. Italy had won, but not enough for two, had to have the real, definitive, would need to beat the Netherlands by virtue of Austria defeated 5 to 1 February and drew with Germany to have a better goal difference 7 -3, while in Italy was 1-0.

A draw would not be simple enough so that in this sense, our rule, defensive mentality Italy began the offensive, which dominates the secondthe previous World Cup, which has great players like Neeskens, Rep and Rensenbrink Cruyff, with their biggest player absent. Eighteen minutes of play, a goal for Italy came when Brandt put the ball into his own net and in Italy the lead and the final World Cup. Thus ended the first time for me to believe that Italy is the defense keep up with this rating could through the second half was. The second time would prove, however,My first experience in football as a harrowing five minutes in the second half Brandt would redeem the points for the Netherlands, the score of one to make one. I was still optimistic, Italy, to the final once had one goal and had 40 minutes to get to you, but unlike my hope that he would be the Netherlands when the second goal Haan (Minute 75 30) almost certainly fired from meters, the Netherlands, who took his second tripFinal in as many World Cups. As a thought, after seeing the second goal came in The Netherlands was that our goalkeeper, Dino Zoff was blind, because he seemed simply could not see, the ball from a distance. This is a view that was shared by many critics of his nearest especially after the game. As for the final score of the game, you read Holland 2 Italy 1 means that Italy would pay Brazil for third place in a far I do not see much senseto play.

In this match Italy would win again if it would have to have blood before, such as the Netherlands, Brazil storms start with two spectacular goals to win 2-1 with a header only for Italy. I must, however, that the first goal scored by Brazil Nelinho confess it was a truly masterful recording that I recommend to those who have not seen it on Youtube, as well worth a look. Brazil's second goal, Dirceu was also a long-range shot from outside the penalty areabut not as spectacular as that of Nelinho whose shot curled just twice. therefore be missed, Italy is the fourth, but my memories of what not to forget the two occasions when Italy came to this place game against Brazil, but it should be or go, as was in the Netherlands, has also hit the wood in the last minute of the final against Argentina in the end would win, what a world championship.

Italy was hiswas not bad, but better days were coming for us "tifossi" 82 and in 2006, when we had to win the World Cup and 90 for third place were we would all play at home and despite the 94, if you suffer would have lost the first final decision on penalties. In my many years of great football moments of triumph and defeat, but maybe not more then lose to Argentina in the semifinals in Naples, but in everything we never forget that moment, in view ofGame at Wembley Stadium in the final as Argentina beat the Netherlands 3-1, as the Italians call this time we would see that I am a big fan of the sport "football." Football was obviously a different game these days, so it is today, but it was in that time which allowed me to see the beauty of sport and how that really was a game played by many international well-nations around the world with one of Italy's top teams, as demonstrated in "Argentina78.
