watched it live, nearly dropped out of my chair. I was just going to say how stupid this guy is, getting to the baseline and trapped by two and he must have heard me.
it was fucking sick yes, but van persie scored one fucking awesome goal that deserves a higher spot in my opinion. it was in some of those pre-season matches... and he dribbled and scored alone, fucking sick.
robinho's was more "plastic", like free style, and he had less space. bah, it was just different, both were jawdropping
Talking about USA 94, for me the best wc ever. It was the first I followed fully, I was 10yo and I knew everything about it, every player, every result... Spain played vs Italy on the Quarter finals, they were dominating against Italian catenaccio, tied 1-1. On a deadly counter Roberto Baggio managed to score the 2-1 for Italy. Then, the drama. Minute 93, Caminero crosses the ball to the box, Luis Enrique takes the possition over Tassotti and when he is going to head the ball, Tassotti hits him with his elbow and breaks his nose. The whole spanish team pursues the referee showing the evidence, Luis Enrique is bleeding with his nose broken. The referee panics and whistles the end of the match. Spain is out.
Lately, FIFA punished Tassotti with 8 international matches ban, which ended with him retiring from the national team.
This fact has been removed from USA 94 and world cup history. You can\'t find it in youtube, nor wikipedia, etc. I\'ve only found one video showing spanish drama from a recent TvShow before 2006 WC:
