La reacción es inexplicable. Francamente, no entiendo en qué momento pensaron que tenían chances de ganarle a Inglaterra (o a cualquier selección de jerarquía).

Vivieron completamente aislados de la realidad durante su (siempre corto) paso por el Mundial.

🇮🇹🗣️ Roberto Baggio sobre o pênalti perdido na final da Copa do Mundo de 94:

“Quando fui ao pênalti, fiquei tão lúcido quanto você pode estar nesses momentos. Eu sabia que Taffarel estava sempre pulando, então decidi jogá-lo no meio, a meia altura, só para não poder tirar a bola com os pés. Foi uma escolha inteligente. No entanto, a bola, não sei como, subiu três metros e subiu. Perdi alguns pênaltis, mas quando os perdi, eles foram defendidos e não foram para as nuvens”.

"Os brasileiros dizem que foi Ayrton Senna do céu quem levantou a bola. Quem sabe. É a explicação romântica para um ato inexplicável, exceto a fadiga."

Matt Damon reveals the craziest sporting event he's ever been to was a football match in Argentina

“My wife's from Argentina. We went to spend Christmas there about 12 years ago. Her family's team, Boca Juniors, which is a very popular team in Buenos Aires is in the final”

“I say to her uncle Hector, ‘Hey, can we go to this game?’ He gets this very serious look on his face and he's like, ‘We can go, no women, no children.’ I was like, what? I thought I was going to take the kids and we were going to go to the game”

“Well… I saw why when we went because we had to get through I think three police barricades. There was temporary fencing with barbed wire put up. It was just absolute madness and police with riot gear outside”

“There was nobody sitting in the best seats because that was the distance that people could throw things and hit each other”

“Our team won. The other team's fans are filing out and the trophy presentation finishes and I say to Hector, ‘Should we go?’ He goes no… it was because they needed time to get out of the neighborhood where the stadium was and you had to give them like a 45 minute head start”

“When they did let us out, they actually held us in these temporary kind of cages. I was like, what are we waiting for now? ‘They still need five more minutes to clear the neighborhood’”

“It was absolutely crazy. Definitely the craziest sporting event I've been to”

Looking for some summer reading?

My new book "The Crusader Storm" offers a history of the Crusades (1097-1187) from around ten different cultural perspectives.

One of the best inside jokes of the ‘90s comes in MAVERICK (1994), when Danny Glover briefly appears and shares a look with Mel Gibson. The two seem to recognize each other, then Glover mutters, “I’m getting too old for this shit.” Perfect cameo.

🚨🚨BREAKING: GARETH BALE:
“There was one moment in football that completely shifted my perspective on rivalry. I was dealing with a recurring muscle problem that haunted my whole career, when I got a surprise message from Real Madrid’s fitness trainer.

He told me, ‘Leo heard about your injury and wants to help you out.’ 💙
Next thing I knew, I was getting a direct call from Messi’s own doctor. He gave me a recovery plan that had worked for him, plus the exact rehab drills Messi followed in 2013 🩺📋.

He also pointed me to a top sports clinic in Barcelona where elite players go. 🏥🇪🇸.”

“That experience showed me professionalism isn’t about club colors or badges 🤝. Real greatness is what you give to others, even if they’re your opponents. Messi is a person first, legend second 🐐❤️.

When most people treat El Clásico like a battle, Messi reminded everyone that football is about more than goals — it’s about heart and respect 🌍✨”
