No body expected it

Era ubriaco quel telecronista

i dont think ireland would have beaten nigeria that year though. They were bloody good

Sì ma l'Irlanda arrivò seconda dietro il Messico quindi non è che potesse lamentarsi. Senz'altro il Brasile era più forte della Spagna (che era comunque la miglior Spagna del decennio) la Nigeria non era inferiore all'Olanda se non forse solo un po' nell'esperienza.

​@@wallinggraham3836Italy beat them so......

Además qué contra España fue altamente beneficiado porqué cuando estaban 1-1 no le cobraron un claro penal a la “furia”

Baresi, not Barizi.

@samiralkayed baresi played against norway in the second match as well.

Italy & Argentina have a similar story in the Fifa World Cup, which both of them lost in the 1st match of the group stage, then still passed through to the final. Argentina did it in 1990 after losing to Cameroon & following by Italy in 1994 after being defeated by Ireland.

No, not really lol. And "we" is a stretch given 8 of the 13 were foreign.

Claro el más difícil x mejor, 4 equipazos

Didnt recognise the Irish one

Could have done more with those players, including all the foreigners eligible at the time. Far too one-dimensional and scared to play football. Only 2 wins in 13 tournament games under him.

He didn’t start playing until 98/99 - this was ‘94.

Robbie Keane won a Euro under 18 championship for Ireland in 1998, I think.

I agree with the blessing in disguise for Italy losing to Ireland however I wish that Nigeria had beaten Italy in Boston in the second round they were so close (2 minutes away if I'm not mistaken). I feel if Nigeria had beaten Italy they would have reached the final because I feel they'd have beaten Spain & Bulgaria too. It could have marked an important moment for African soccer if Nigeria had have reached the final of USA'94. Damn Italy for getting lucky against Nigeria!

@@shervinbehrad1848 Luck is part of football. It's what gives the game it's romantic element which you don't find in other sports. Anyway Nigeria, for all their attacking brilliance, showed alot of naivety in trying to score more goals. They should have played Italy at their own game and simply sat back and defended and they would have won. Italy deserved to win for the fact that they never gave up even when down to ten men and Baggio's first goal was spectacular considering all the pressure he must have been under. In extra time..it was all Italy, although Rashid Yekini did come close.

Agree with u..
