Sagres is the only Portuguese beer I know by name. Cheap beer, isn\'t it?

maybe gencs can let you borrow his "don\'t bother me, I\'m local" or whatever it says shirt joc. It should only be about 4 sizes too big for you. And in the wrong language. Perfect.

ok.  \'92 World Cup.  Roberto Baggio, stupid Italian.  misses a sure PK to lose to Brazil.

ummm you mean 94\'


he\'s lucky he not dead

1994 FIFA World Cup
Baggio was the cornerstone of the Italy team during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, leading them to the final after a disappointing start. He scored five goals, all in the knockout phase, and he started every match from the beginning: two in the round of 16 to beat Nigeria (scoring with 2 minutes left of the game sending it into extra time, and then another goal in extra time), one in the quarter-finals to top Spain (the game winner with 3 minutes remaining) and two to beat Bulgaria in the semi-finals. Baggio was not fully fit for the final against Brazil, which ended 0-0 after extra time; he took Italy\'s last penalty in the resulting shoot-out, but his kick went over the cross-bar and the Brazilians won the title. Two other Italians, Franco Baresi and Daniele Massaro, had already missed penalties; had Baggio scored, Brazil would have still had a penalty to win the Cup nevertheless. Baggio has since been blamed for costing Italy that World Cup despite the fact that he singlehandedly carried a weak and aging Italian team to the final.

Baggio finished tied for second in the tournament in goals scored and was named one of the top three players.

CHELSEA....CHELSEA....CHELSEA....CHELSEA!!!

exactly. I remember watching this Italian restaurant owner (actually a close family friend) cry his eyes out after that missed PK. I was 10 and on the verge of tears just watching him. 2006 = redemption for good ol\' Nick Lombardi.
