1994 WORLD CUP FINAL: Brazil 0-0 Italy (3-2 PSO)

The United States was the setting for a hugely successful 15th FIFA World Cup™ which drew record crowds and ended with Brazil celebrating their first world title since 1970. If the Final itself was a disappointment, Brazil beating Italy on penalties after a goalless draw, there were no complaints about the entertainment that had gone before.

In Italy, After this match saying ‘’ Even Baggio can miss a penalty’’ has become a recurrent expression to support someone after a mistake

[randomnameindeed]

I felt so sorry for Roberto Baggio. Without him I don't think Italy would have gone all the way to the final. He played phenomenally that year and scored five goals in total, and then he of all people would miss the penalty. He didn't deserve that.

[perubased]

For those who doesn't know, Baggio was an outstanding penalty scorer. In all of his career he scored 111 goals this way.

Baggio took far too much criticism for missing that penalty kick. I understand that he was Italy's best player and they depended greatly on him. But where is the criticism for Baresi and Massaro, both of who also didn't score on their penalty kicks? If either one of them scored, then Baggio's miss wouldn't have meant instantly losing the match.

First off:
That Italian goal keeper was astounding.

Second:
I can't believe Baggio missed that penalty.

[gamermanofficial]

Doesn't matter if he missed a penality in that situation, as a non italian football fan, i can clearly say Baggio is best Italian player ever, and top 5 i've ever watched. Messi and Ronaldo are like success machines nowadays but watching Baggio was way more fun. He was an all rounder attacking player. Not only his football talent but his look with that famous hair style, earrings, everything about him is legendary and unforgettable. He is still the best football icon for me.

Brazilian team honored Ayrton Senna at the end, he had died in may.

Baggio: “I think it was Senna who made me miss the penalty. He was the one who took the ball and pulled it up ”

I remember watching this match and thinking 'how on earth can two talented teams like Brazil and Italy, chockful of skillful footballers, produce such a boring final.' Then a few months later an American from California explained to me that in L.A. in July at 3 in the afternoon temperatures can reach 110f (40°C). Well done FIFA for tournament planning !

I am here after the Netflix documentary about Baggio. He was an amazing player!

[comedyclips]

Baggio still one of the best player ever ..

1994: "goalkeeper level: legend"

[keykosolitaire]

Good old memories, when all teams were REALLY playing for their counrtry, instead the money and fame. :)

[hellacezkie]

Baresi was Italy's man of the match here. Played despite having a prior injury, defended like a true man. The ultimate defender, Maldini's mentor and partner. Watch "Franco Baresi heroics - World Cup 1994"

[johnfeet]

I was 10 back then
A Brazil fan, but feel bad for Baggio after his miss!
The italian squad was pretty strong and Romario was like dancing when he score!

[snakeeater]

Brazilian here and I must say that Baggio is superb!

[pareshmokani]

Pablo Maldini was in prime. I saw it. I was 16 and could never forget how he defended.

[elciocancellier]

I was in the stadium that day, a real dream come true

[beneditoluiz]

jogam a culpa em Baggio mas se esquecem que Baresi e Massaro já tinham errado seus pênaltis antes... injusto culpar Roberto Baggio.
