That’s the problem with this. I wonder if this same reaction/perception was felt by players that missed for other countries.Although a gooner - must have been horrible to have all those Italians run past you celebrating while you've let the entire nation down..
Is that Shaw that first sprints to him? Fair play to him
Sorry fucked the quote have edited it now

Probably not.I sort of get the impression that many band waggon big tournament type fans enjoy us missing penalties.That’s the problem with this. I wonder if this same reaction/perception was felt by players that missed for other countries.
You’re missing out the Irn BruYou'll be saying you invented antibiotics, steam engines, telephones, TV and even cloning sheep next??
No change there thenI think my shit will last longer...
One step penalties.Signori: I remember correctly, he kicked from a standing position. Great striker.
That you remember Gascoigne, a madman with a heart of gold.
Manager wise he didn’t have a lot of oppositionHow important Mancini was?
Baggio still has the nightmare of a missed penalty in Pasadena against Brazil. But he kept the silver medalYes - since the beginning of football - very cruel
Baggio '94 - prime example (Netflix released a decent movie earlier this year - recommend)
Back then, before we got cable TV, I probably watched and knew more about Italian football than the PL. Most of the greats of the time were playing in Italy then - Maldini, Baresi, Batistuta, Baggio, del Piero my personal favourites.Used to support lazio when gascoigne went to italy. Player i liked for lazio was guiseppe signori. Had an unsual and unique style for taking penalties. Cracking show football italia on channel 4 back in the day.
Same here. I'd add Sosa, Fonseca, and Weah.Back then, before we got cable TV, I probably watched and knew more about Italian football than the PL. Most of the greats of the time were playing in Italy then - Maldini, Baresi, Batistuta, Baggio, del Piero my personal favourites.
Italy went out in 98 to France again on penalties and lost on golden goal in the 2000 euros. And the English think they’ve had it bad!And Baggio had a thousand reasons to be embittered: at Italia 90 we lost on penalties against Argentina with the Naples stadium cheering for Maradona. From there Maradona was hated by the Italians
For years we have been chased by the ghost of penalties.Italy went out in 98 to France again on penalties and lost on golden goal in the 2000 euros. And the English think they’ve had it bad!
