World Cup USA 1994, final (Italy vs. Brazil)

The date was July 17, 1994, and in many ways was a Sunday in summer, which was this year with the exception that would play this day, Italy to Brazil for the right to crowned World Cup champion, a tournament that, unlike many only once every four years. This makes it more important to win at any cost, as those incurred by us in Italy or Brazil could be true.

There is a final, with Italyhas seen him play, increase my enthusiasm with optimism for an Italian victory at a level that the mesh Riviera, I would wear with a white peak cap, also the Italian national football team, as I waved the red, green and know the national flag where is my father. I must say I win, to win WAS see everything that was in my head that afternoon when I got ready to go watch the game, all I could think about was how great it would be to celebrate Italytheir fourth World Cup title, the music was able to listen in honor, and it was certainly great big party that all those fans who participate in poll-Italy

One thing is it's great and tragic matter, Italy, Brazil, Germany or Argentina in football and that this will be only to celebrate the victory total for the second, third and fourth not simply what it is because we are the best and As such, the results must achieve the same.Sweden and Bulgaria had the third or fourth and they would come to this celebration of their countries, but not for Italy according cause can not be a tragedy, but certainly not for celebration, as required for the quality of our game we win.

Not that I do not think an option to defeat, especially given the fact that we played less injury against Brazil, a team on foot if there is anything, the last from us. After allplay two of our best players Baresi and Baggio R. would be almost evil. Since this is the case, he had come to be my opinion (Which I still to this day) than in sports, as in many things, the defeat is not something that we never came up for a plan if it to maintain our mind must always be space in a case should come as is always wise to know my advice would be victory, but must be no.

How to Brazil and Italy had already reachedOnce the final, only for 24 years before, with Brazil to reach the summit of a resounding 4-1 to claim their third title trophy with the law depends Julies Info. This as Brazil beat Italy by that day will be the first country many years ago, won the title three times. Italy in 82, but would continue to claim their third title, took them on an equal footing with Brazil and Germany, which should be at 90, to his claimthird title as well.

And 'WAS a strange feeling when I arrived in Bar Napoli, as I have been for most of the important games in this tournament before, but in a way, this was more so, as you decide to announce a winner within a game , while the losing team there would be four years to think about where they went wrong. As in previous cases, John and Gabriella her way to the place where we had suffered so much, all had to look in hope and the desire to win, Italy, as we hadthis point and, as we said before the game, I felt a tension between us as if we were standing outside the doors of something big. Because we were so close but it was by no means a certainty that we would be champions this sacred place to be in the world.

It was on this day, many after the World Cup or not less than Bar Naples, was this final was not attracting people from all over, Even Some Americans,In reality, knew almost nothing of our brand of football and even less of what makes this game really for us. I must say for my part, this was nice to see how this game was not really mainstream in America, attracting those who Would Have something shown before, if not interested. I remember that day a conversation with a young lady from Atlanta who was amazed at how much it means clustering for us and for Italy up to the point where, as it seemed a matter of life and death to win;just say it was more important that, as Bill Shankly once said.

At the beginning of the game the atmosphere was tense as it was in 1982, the last time Italy has reached a final, because we knew these two errors Would be an incredibly difficult game to teams where the margin of victory would be one is from one of the both sides or a spark of genius. That 's what we counted Roberto Baggio with us, while Brazil was also offer thisby Romario. The first minute of play when they started with the offense under Brazil, with Italy back on the defensive, always waiting for the advantage of bad passes, to go on the counter. All in a marking system, commonly printed as "".

This was a final and as with any pressure was high at the count made at any time, but the reality is that some good deals for Both parties had been reached in this firstHalf, perhaps, with Italy the best. Since this is the case when Daniele Massaro, after a long ball got past Mauro Silva, only to lose the nerves when the presence of Brazilian goalkeeper Tafarel who managed to save his weak shot from a position that would have been all accounts target face. As for me, it was as if my eyes and all around me were glued to the action as if the world not only did not matter, but not yet even exist, because it was as if IMassaro has seen a clear shot on goal from inside the box I prepared to hear a scream loudly goal for everyone, but should not be.

The game that day, in all honesty, probably fought too hard to see how many clear chances for both teams. This is due to labeling, as was low throughout the forum, saying that Romario and Bebeto at least two good chances for Brazil should be, while the largest is closer to what a big mistake Our goalkeeper GianlucaPagliuca. These are caused when a poorly taken shot slipped through the hands and jump to it in the post, he would kiss in gratitude, as they save us from disaster. Roberto Baggio, who was followed around the world but had a time when he had a blow hard, the range of mark, that it might be healthier under African conditions he had, at least in the target.

The game ended 0-0, as it began, so extraordinary was the case, that would be necessary to actuallyto solve for the fifth time, which team would win the tournament. Italy was tired, but then so was Brazil, but tell the truth when the game was mediocre, which could be there but to be celebrated, as it was an ending that no one could afford to lose. The 30-minute overtime, some opportunities, but some very clear Those Who Lost in particular for Italy with Roberto Baggio the ball clear, but perhaps too much of an angle, not only from the gate, but his body Took the shot Understood asGave little or no real effort Tafarel Brazilian goalkeeper. Of course I can to this day the feeling that history had a different Baggio had to do that day but really blame a man who was carried off on the previous game? A man who has played more than likely for the severe pain? Baggio, after all, was not a lack of effort, but of health, which in itself would make all too clear in almost everything he did on that day, but in all reality, Brazil Also notallow him to much, if any freedom in the way, Maradona was not allowed in the 86 final by Germany.

For better or for worse, this was a game that began that would end with the same results all show that there are penalties to decide which team would have won world cups in the top four. It would come with kicking them to achieve this, the team had to decide how strict the strongest nerves, it would be us or them? We kept all the breath, as if destinyItaly and the penalty taker in Italian known as "strict meaning is our life.

Italy seems at first as he had four years ago against Argentina, and then as Franco Baresi would be to go first. He scored his penalty and then, so we thought it would do it again, but, unlike then Baresi shot sailed over the bar, who would think Brazil 1-0 to go. It was then that our hopes to see in himself, missing or Brazil might be our goalkeeper have a greatand save it, if that was what prevented Santos Pagliuca penalty to go on the net, ending the game 0-0 to entertain guests occurs. A great noise was heard kicker missed the first example of Brazil, because we knew tiffosi Italy are back in terms of level, the possibility of 1.0 for the top and become world champion. Albertini came to the site and to alleviate what had when his shot went past Tafarel, give us a slight 1-0 lead. Romario, however, were added to Brazil and how he flirted with aMiss, and when his shot hit the inside of the post, not much online, so that the score 1-1. We came so close to us almost like a huge cry for just disappointed, as I have from the eyes of those who had followed me to Italy Since I Could Tell Their first game you Against Ireland. Gabriella, for its part, was an incredible show, which, as a young woman who has no connection what so ever was with Italy, but is subject to a held-Italian victory, like the rest of us. YouPerhaps more than any other symbol to me right now what was to love a football team, as in all truth, he lived with us, as anyone with all the suffering that is really a passion. For what this feeling is so often mentioned, you want something, but to the point where we hurt inside for what we hope Have so much to the extreme, that even if I Have, we are still dissatisfied.

After Miss Romario close to both Evanier (for Italy) and Branco (for Brazil)shot without too much difficulty then is to Massaro, the much missed our pain so that applications are 2-2 with Dunga in its turn. Dunga scored but give the example of Brazil to 3-2 and putting Italy on the brink of defeat. This had them all up to Roberto Baggio, because it would be missed by everyone, such as Brazil will probably claim their fourth title at our expense. Of course, if Baggio did what most of us thought we could, everything would come to Brazil to determine BebetoBusiness as a goal from him would be the same in the result.

We were about to lose, but there was still hope, as a goal by Baggio and Pagliuca then save one of the tie to try and continue this torture, the penalty was kicked. In all honesty, I must say that Miss Baggio was something that had not really counted, when my mind was pretty excited when Bebeto takes nerve to turn to Brazil, the fifth sentence.

Baggio foot on the ball and howdid, it seemed that time stopped for a moment, almost as if the whole world that the issue had done so for. Baggio then struck the ball and went as much to our disbelief over the crossbar, leading to more unnecessary pain as he won in Brazil. It 'was the sight of Baggio was standing in the penalty with his head down, while the Brazilians everywhere greeted That I remember from this World Cup final. For Baggiohas been a situation similar to the Radames in Aida, Which was developed as a the hero of Egypt, only to be later executed for treason unintentional Been celebrated. Baggio we had saved from certain defeat in eight, have not yet delivered the victory against Spain and Bulgaria for all those who had just his fourth title in Brazil. I would like but not so fast to blame Baggio, because he was not alone, but he lacked was what brought an end to all ourDreams.

We lost, there was nothing to say or hoped it would be like ours, as the second place, although this does not mean we were the second best team, but we are the ones who managed to avoid the winner was until Finale. This is not the case in countries like the U.S., the Netherlands or Sweden, who had been forced to play Brazil in the final round before. Certainly, in Italy, unlike the rest of Brazil was widespread, although notOvertime, but only sanctions, but in the end it was all for them not to our benefit, it was over.

Italy had played a great tournament, so it is definitive, but a lot of truth in American adage that "you're only as good as your last game, and we had won. The sadness was everywhere as people wept paid checks and Gabriella, as if at a funeral along with many others, myself included. We also tried to say that Brazil had played perhaps ConSolbetter than us, but his best chance and therefore deserved to win, but this was not the point, because he had come so close. A few penalties go our way, go Romario shot a few millimeters to the left and there would, of course, if Baresi and Baggio was, but was not the way it was reached.

After a few minutes of hugs and disappointment among us we have to manage Bar Napoli, with all the dignity, do not see, leave nothing broken or crushed, as is the defeatwho must accept it with grace. Outside, in a show of support, but the chorus "Italy, Italy, Italy" was heard for about ten minutes as we let you know that we are not ashamed that we were the team that had supported and would gladly do it again and would be in the World Cup to come. For these mainly known that a fan is standing behind his team, win or lose, this is what we did in our homes.

For my part I went on my way and I bought a houseBrazilian stopper for a young waitress, I made a bet with that is the case, because I was not able to find a flag. It 'was on my way home that I came to the conclusion that losing was not so bad if you were his best and no regrets, especially since Italy is not really what we play, but lost in penalties . All the true face of which we have probably come closer to Cup win than any other team loses in world history,and although not finished this what we all wanted, we had to have seen the final. In a way, through many great feelings, had those of us who had not lived in vain for all. That was primarily our sport and we will meet again to compete for multiple titles.

In the case of Italy and Brazil, have Several Sunday games since 1994, but none of importance that went on in a friendly, but it was with great anticipation that I have another meeting with the gameour big rival.
