Paolo Maldini 🇮🇹

[Luigi Foschini @luigifoschini]

Per me, rimane il mondiale più bello. Un inizio fiacco, deludente e poi un crescendo inarrestabile fino all'esplosione finale! Anche se, forse, la vera finale fu Italia-Brasile. Che ricordi!

Guy Mowbray’s commentary was befitting of the occasion on Sunday night.

ITV have the England vs Norway game. Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon wont be be able to replicate this in a million years no matter how exciting the match is

MARAZICO

In Brasile Bruno Conti era amatissimo. 🇧🇷
Dopo il Mondiale del 1982, molti brasiliani lo considerarono uno dei pochi giocatori europei capaci di interpretare il calcio con lo stile “brasiliano”: fantasia, dribbling, improvvisazione, leggerezza tecnica.

Il soprannome “Marazico” nacque proprio lì.
Unione tra “Maradona” e “Zico”.
Per loro Bruno Conti aveva qualcosa di entrambi:la creatività imprevedibile,
il controllo stretto del pallone,
il modo elegante di saltare l’uomo.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

I mean… come on man.
