juventus and italian world cup heroes (1 Viewer)

[HelterSkelter]

its pretty amazing when you think of it and realize that 3 of italy's biggest world cup heroes respresented juventus at some time in their careers.
baggio at usa 94..toto at italia 90...and rossi at spain 82...

which one amongst these three would you call the biggest hero of the trio?
most would probably go for rossi...
personally,id go for baggio,simply bcoz i saw that tournament and i know what it felt like to see someone who wasnt fully fit take italy to the final single handedly...and also because,baggio is probably a greater part of juventus's history than rossi or toto.

difficult to choose between baggio and rossi

 

[GRK]

Both great. I prefer Baggio, but only because Rossi played before I was even born

baggio a hero on 94 ? maybe he was, too bad he missed the penalty

 

[Codino]

id choose rossi as italy actually won the world cup that year.

but i reckon baggio had an overall better tournament than him, as it was basically when he played great the team was unstopable.

 

[Tifoso_old]

id choose Marco Tardelli or Dino Zoff.. i hated Rossi

 

[king Ale]

I'd choose Baggio.at 94,he lonely lead Italia to the final.

 

[del pietro]

Roberto Baggio !

 

[PaVeL_NedVeD_11]

I'd go for Roberto Baggio as well
if only he scored that penalty...

But I wouldnt blame him because I guess he lead them to the finals right ?

thats the sad thing.
one poor moment has put a scar on his incredible career.

 

[HelterSkelter]

and i hate it when people only talk abt the missed penalty and not what he did in his glorious career.

Agreed.

 

[Codino]

but what about baresi and massaro? not shifting blame. but i guess he was the best in the world so even if he was injured he should of buried. injured, tired, hot. all good excuses.

im just glad he had the balls 4 years later to score against chile and france in a pk. now thats a hero.

The problem with Rossi was that he had numerous off-pitch scandals that somehow took the shine off his football a little.

But the team depended on him more than they did on Baggio IMO...so I'd take Paolo Rossi.

He's hardly to blame for that. Given that penalties as we all know are lotteries and the fact that Baggio singlehandedly took Italy to the final in that cup.


Toto was spectacular but unfortunately wasnt quite the man during his time at Juventus.

Rossi again, was the renaissance man, rising from the ashes to accomplish such a magnificent feat.


My pick though: maybe because I was witness to it all: Roberto Baggio.

 

[Codino]

well im still dissapointed he missed. hahaha.
but oh well. thats football.he made up for it and thats the main thing.

but we r talking about the player who has scpred the most penalties for juve in its history.

and the player with the best avg of pks scored in serie a. (last time i checked 2002).

 

[Holygr4le]

????
I do not understand the topic?

Ofcourse Rossi!
He won! And he made 6 goals=top world cup scorer -82.

The team ended up in the same group as Brasil and Argentina.
Winning that heroic game against brasil with 3-2.Rossi made the hattrick.

gaetano scirea in 82.
