Schilaci was the man of the tournament and he wasn't chosen to take a penalty shot???

He probably would have had a better chance scoring instead of Donadoni and Serena.

What was the Italian coach thinking?

@Edifice06: I read from somewhere that Toto didn't want to take a PK. He said that "he felt tired" or something along with those lines. I'm sure he would have been on the coaches list.

With Joao Havelange fixing the game (because Argentina eliminated those viado brazilians) with that scumbag mexican ref, even with Caniggia they wouldve lost .. If the game werent fixed it wouldve gone to penalties then given Argentina's experience O.K.

[detonator2112]

That penalty and Eduardo Codesal (the ref) in 1990 final were a disgrace to World Cup. Not that Germans didn't deserve to win, but not that way. It smelled dirty as hell.

@MYacono: This was recently deleted from Wikipedia

"On October 1999, Jorge Humberto Rojano, former president of the Mexican Referees Association, alleged in an interview with Mexican newspaper La Jornada that FIFA, at that time managed by Brazilian João Havelange, would only allow Codesal to supervise the final match if he prevented Argentina from winning".

lol baggio almost missed

[marianitoelrosarino]

Bastaba la presencia de Maradona en campo para amedrentar al rival. Si no hubiese estado lesionado otra habría sido la historia

[SHILTONFEDERICO]

Un gran recuerdo fue el mejor partido de Argentina en Italia 90 y el Goyco un Fenomeno

[orourkeda]

Argentina didnt play well in that tournament yet still managed to eliminate Brazil and the hosts Italy.

[sebaswww]

@Edifice06 actually mathaeus was the man of the tournament & scillaci was'nt very good in penalty kicks really

[truvianni]

@Edifice06 a coach who does not start Baggio in a semifinal is not thinking at all

[ComoAumentarBusto]

XDDDDDDDD

vamos argentinaa que recuerdosss...

Maradona's was João Havelange's nightmare. He made the world cup history stinky by rigging the final match. It was a shame to the football world. Even the Germans were let down with that. They deserved to win but not with cheating help. History will always underline that world cup finals with a question mark. I bet João Havelange still wishes he could have prevented Maradona from being the greatest player of all time.

Americas will rise again. The next World Cup belongs to America!! :)
