What has medals got to do with who's the better footballer? Would you say Trez is a better striker than Batigol because he won twice as much? of course not. Baggio had the misfortune of being at big clubs at the wrong time (he wanted to go to Milan in 1990, not us)

Baggio put in performances for Italy Del Piero could only dream of, the simple fact is that he played way more games and tournaments for italy than Roby did and he flopped in every important game he played in. Italy's team of USA '94 is universally regarded as a solid but dull, dour team lacking imagination and creativity, except for Baggio, he dragged Italy to that final, he took the tournament by the scruff of the neck, it was the last one man show at a World Cup, no player has put their hands all over a World Cup since. His goal against the Czechs announced himself onto the world stage, wasn't an important goal but showed his easily he could skip past players, the goal is always in the top 10 best goals in the history of the WC.

Roberto Baggio of 1990-94 hands down beats Alex in any season you wanna throw up, take this debate outside of a Juve forum and the majority of people would agree Baggio was by far the better player.
I brought the honours to the discussion because you dodged my question as to what makes a better player and I want facts not opinions.

When did Zidane dominate a WC like Baggio did? in France '98 it was a team effort with no stand out players, in '06 Zidane did reasonably well.

Euro '00 has always been seen as Zidane's tournament
So in 1998 it was a team effort but in 1994 it was a solo performance by Baggio? :howler:
Do you even know the team that played alongside Baggio in 1994? Do you know that most of the players were in the team that dismantled the great barca in the CL final FOUR - ZERO?

In 2006 was it only reasonably well? A team managed by a retard reached the final for only ONE reason

And you want to tell me you are not biased? purrrleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, since you are now comparing Baggio to Zidane I promise you I will stop this discussion right here and never ever discuss anything with you. Ever.

When did you see me compare Baggio to ZZ? I merely argued that I didn't believe ZZ led a one man show to France's WC finals. You can't compare players who play in 2 different positions in my view. Like I said earlier today, Italy had a solid but dull side, was Baresi, Maldini, Costacurta etc going to score the goals to get Italy to the final? Course not.
