Default Re: Thoughts on the World Cup Draw



and they have only won 1 WC post WWII, and that was due to them having some of the greates Italians either hanging on(Zoff) or at their peak(Berzot).

Italy drew there first three matches in 82 against Peru, Poland and Cameroon scoring one goal in the process.

In a unique system only ever used in 82 the drew Brazil and Argentina in the second three team round robin stage.

After beating Argentina 2 - 1 the best thing happen to Italy.
They went into the match against a phenomenal Brazilian team needing to win, a draw was not good enough. Berzot basically had no choice but to adopt a [censored] it lets attack them approach. With an inspired Paolo Rossi the greatest single 90 minutes in World Cup history was produced, what a game, the ascendency changed 5 times in 90 minutes. After that Poland and West Germany were formalities.
