The Divine Ponytail. One of my all time favorite. I remember feeling kinda sleepy watching the Italy vs Chekoslovakia group qualifying game at WC 90. Italy was leading 1-0 through Toto Schilacci then Roby started his run from his own half. One-two pass with Giannini and the rest is football made in heaven that truly woke me up and begging for the replay.

Commentator's word : "But still...Baggio...oh yes...oh yes...OH YES! What a goal by Baggio! The man the whole Italy wanted in their squad has delivered the goods in some style"

Then he was dragged down by a team mate (Maldini? Donadoni?) to the ground and the players piling up on top of him :proud:

legend of the "mighty magyars" hungarian team of the 50s...
probably footballs first superstar....his achievement?
From May of 1950 to February of 1956, he captained this renowned side to unparalleled heights in football, achieving in a span of 51 matches 43 victories, 7 draws and one defeat (which is mired in controversy to this day). and how does 84 goals in 85 internationals sound to you?

absolutely collosall!

Ferenc Puskas: 86159 votes ( 48.8 % )
Hristo Stoichkov: 24445 votes ( 13.8 % )
Georgi Asparuhov: 8456 votes ( 4.8 % )
Michael Ballack: 7367 votes ( 4.2 % )

??????? Why these 4 players are the top 4 ????

I know all of them are great, but at least, i don't think Puskas should get almost 50% !!!

ANd by the way !!! Ballack doesn't prove a lot !!! A lot of players have more champion or have more excellent record than Ballack !!!!!!!

This is a poem dedicated to my hero...
He was born 36 years ago in a town called Caldogno...
He started his career as a teenager in Vicenza...
Today, almost 20 years on, he is captain of Mazzone's Brescia...
His life has never been free of adversity...
But he has conquered all with optimism and humility...
His goals through the years have inspired many a side...
And they have given me a great sense of joy and pride...
He is a genius, a magician and no doubt a great man...
For his efforts, he has won the hearts of many a fan...
He always conducts himself in the best possible fashion...
This is a man who believes in dreams and is driven by passion...
He can turn a game around with a simple touch or a beautiful pass...
And his teamates speak highly of his charisma and class...
His motto is to fight, win and shine...
And I share his battles and dreams as if they were mine...
Even during difficult moments when I seemed unsure...
I have always been captivated by his mystical allure...
It'is no wonder why they call him Il Divino Codino...
For he is the greatest and his name is BAGGIO...

amazing poem...

you are a poet if you can write like this :tongue:

Very next World Cup in France 98, he took the penalty vs. Chile.
I was really scared he'll miss it, it was like 3 minutes be4 the end of the game, and Chile were leading 2:1. When he scored it was like fire in his eyes, he wanted to proove everyone who he is, and he's not afraid of anything.

Yep, he wanted to take that one real bad. And if you see the replay, you can see a Chilean player standing on the left side behind him winding him up by screaming at him. Probably so that he'll miss again.

But all aside, it was sooo cheeky of him to get the penalty. He literally kicked the ball towards the defender's hand

Zz]not to mention how easy he took the first PK durin' the shootout against France....

Just like when Luigi Di Biagio took the first penalty at the Euro 00 Semifinal vs Dutch after missing the last penalty vs France at the WC 98. They wanted to redeem themselves.
