I agree it was like waiting for something special, Ronaldinho,Madrid with Zidane, deporting la coruna in quarter finals, Porto with deco,Monaco with Morientes.
That's cause it's an American show and in America they do well with sports stars just cutting up on each other and bantering. They do it with the NBA on TNT with Shaq, Kenny, Charles Barkley. In the UK many of the shows just can't get the balance right of fun and football. I think the American shows don't have 100 years of football tradition, they can try new things, let personalities shine through. And Sky tries to be serious but then often that one pundit i forget his name just says nothing of substance. The guy that spent 3 days saying so and so had put a bid in for United when they hadn't.
And i'd add i've seen lots of times in comments one Micah is on a UK show people saying they hate him. But i think he fits American sports tv where they embrace and love a personality who can take a joke cause the audience loves that sort of guy.
they’re not compatible there is some akwardness after his comments about the lukaku incident, if you’re watching you”ll notice he isnt there anymore lol
@@SanxBile it was an awkward exchange between henry and del piero about racism in Italian football. del piero said that the racism in italy was getting better, and henry was like he faced the same thing when he played for juve and del piero was like yeah but it’s gotten better, and henry was like not really. Henry was like lukaku shouldn’t have been sent off, and del piero was like yeah they need to give players time to get out their celebrations before the referee decides to address the celebrations inferring that lukaku’s celebration warranted a card. the whole exchange was tense and awkward
Del Piero was one of the reasons I started watching football. It was Italy’s run in the 2006 World Cup that made me fall in love. That whole squad was nasty; Del Piero, Totti, Pirlo, Gattuso, Nesta, Cannavaro (I even bought his jersey after the tournament).
@@trevizee806 can’t believe I forgot Buffon, he’s a legend. Didn’t Italy only concede 2 goals that entire tournament? Zidane penalty and I think an own goal.
In my eyes (and heart), it'll always and forever be, "The Divine Ponytail"........Roberto Baggio!😍. As a young kid growing up in Africa, I remember him from my first world cup, Italia ‘90 and then again in USA ‘94. He may not be the greatest in the history of the game, but he'll always be in my top 3 favourite players, ever (Maradona, Messi, Baggio)👌. I also idolized Del Piero in my 20's, when Italian football was shown on Channel 4, every Sunday mid-morning, in the early 2000's in the UK👏
@@jd-rm4ezThat was a great show, presented by Richardson (he was great). I'd just arrived in London as a wide eyed young man, znd just starting to figure out my way in this world. Oh the memories...😳 Baggio deserved to win USA 94. Shame how it ended, i remember watching it as a young kid in Africa, and being so heartbroken, and i'm not even Italian!😥
Still remember del pierro scoring the 2nd goal against Germany in the 2006 wc semi final, was supporting Italy all tournament and very happy they won it
I mean, Thierry Henry is a true legend, World Cup Winner, Champion's League winner, part of the invincibles team, and look how much he respects other great players, it's just incredible how he is well mannered.
the reason why he remembers the date of the goal is, because it's the day (or the day after) his father died. He dedicated that goal to him - coincidentally this goal really was at least one of the best in his whole career as it seemed physically impossible to score like this. I guess he didn't explain it, not to put them in an awkward situation - what a man.
All of us Italians who had the pleasure of seeing Roberto Baggio play in his time, just mentioning his name gives us shivers. As an Italian, without a shadow of a doubt the player who made me love football as a child, together with Maradona, and certainly one of my favorite players of all times, if not the favorite together with Ronaldo (the Brazilian) of his best times, certainly my favorite Italian player, although I also have great respect for Del Piero, another impressive name in Italian football.
One of my fav players when I was younger, was a generational Italian talent and so elegant. I remember at one point he was the top all time (at the time) scorer in champions league 👏
@@federicorighetti8578 I'm familiar with it, great goal, but it's more by accident than brilliance in my opinion, we see goals like that more often, still think the one against Dortmund was better.
Juve fan here and I think I can speak for every football fan when i say. Maldini is the defenition of football royalty. He is foodball personified. All of us who where lucky enough to watch him play can only admit his greatness.
