can't hate baggio, he was too good
if anything we're sorry for him, he deserved to win a WC

>>77254806

he's still a GOAT. much better than penaldo in the list of GOATness.

there can be no more fatal mistake than missing a crucial penalty in the world cup final though.

wasn't really a mistake. He stopped a good shot, the mistake was the defense's for falling for a fucking screen.

>>77254867
GOAT italian for sure (in modern times)
anyway the perfect scenario would have been if we won in 1990, that was such a fun team to watch
plus it was at home

90s, early 00's was the pinnacle for football shirts. Everyone these days wears boring identical faggy shrinkfit shirts.

>>77254704
Fuuck i was so disheartened, never thought he was going to miss that

>>77254896
Well, it was a mistake cuz he tried to keep the ball with him (how do you call it? hook, notch, mortise? dictionary give me different options).

>>77254943
I laughed my ass off tbqhwy
I hate that nigger

>>77254931
>celebrating a penalty before scoring
that's a big no-no, he jinxed himself

>>77254997
The worst thing is that Zico didn't even celebrate there. He shouldn't have taken this penalty, he was injuried and had just come out of the bench, but no one in that team had the guts to take it. The game went to PK's and Zico scored his, Socrates fucked up there, but no one remembers that part.

This 1986 cup is pretty sad, lots of old talented players blowing their last shots to glory away there.

>>77255133
can't be worse than 1982 tho
that team was incredible, and Zico, Socrates and Falcao were right at their peak, has to be the best team not to win the WC

>>77255285
Oh, that's very true, the consensus here in Brazil is that the only things that could be worse than 1982 are the Maracanazo and the 7-1.

C-Webb was underrated af in his pro career tho

>>77265430
>On April 5, 1993, at Michigan's second consecutive NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship game with 11 seconds remaining, Webber brought the ball up the court into a half court trap. Michigan was down 73–71. Webber attempted to call for a timeout while his team had none remaining, resulting in a technical foul that effectively clinched the game for North Carolina.

>>77265481
I think he said he heard someone on the bench saying call the time out. Either way, he personally fucked over the team.

>>77265479
Webb is one of my all time favorites, I grew up in Sacramento. Were it not for shitty/possibly corrupt officiating he would have a ring right now. The day he tore his ACL was the day the Kings' success died. I still get honestly depressed just thinking about it
