If I understood the commentators on Rai correctly they all wish Baggio could go ... maybe not as a starter, but definitely as a hidden joker if things went wrong As for people ... the answer is pretty obvious

Anycase... I was in the stadio Ferrari of Genova 4 Italy-Spain
I garanee that I never ever imagined that a soccer match could be so touching
The athmosphiere was magic, surrial, I can't even explane it, but I think it will be enought to say that Roby, who played 3 WC's and is used to be considered a demi-god and to recive standing-ovations even from opponents fans, had tears into his eyes :extatic: The way he is loved from fans is so special, this is something that will never happen anymore and I'm sure that it gives Roby more than any award that he may had won or not
Well, pictures and articles about the match are all over... Here are some sites and web-pages I suggest

And in those sites: http://www.raisport.rai.it/raiSportIndex and http://www.gazzetta.it/ you can find video about the match and Roby interviews to download. In Rai website is even possible to download the whole match....
You were at the stadium?!
One thing I still don't know and I hope you can answer me mate is why Baggio's Captaincy band is always in this colours ... blue&yellow&red?

It would be very useful to have a player like Roby come off the bench for the last 20 or 30 mins of the match to add a spark. He is a game winner, its in his blood. A player can lose speed, he can lose sstrength... but Baggio has skill and creativity in his heart. its a gift. Italy should use it to their advantage. Im sick of not winning a trophy we need the best players there!!
For Cayote and Mark,
i dont know if you specifically asked for a video copy to keep, or you just wanted to see the game. Anyhow, If you have a good connection, download Real One player(or Real Alternative) and watch the game online (thanks to one of the links mate posted):
First Half

Yes the match was unbelivable :extatic:
All the stadium fool pf banners 4 Roby and all the peaple who did not stop chanting 4 him the whole time
Somewthing that could happen just 4 Roby
I was under this jersey (it was taken up just 2 times, 4 the rest we could see the match normally ) in an area where there was just Baggio fans...
Also in TV the match was a big success, it was the most seen game from the WC to now, so not only it was big time most seen that other friendlies but also than the quilify to the EURO, that are suppose to be more important. And the statistics are considering just RAI1... I can imagine the difference will be even highter if it wuold be possible to know how many peaple sow it also around the world.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roby Baggio played just 10 minutes in the match vs Siena, due to the same muscolar problem that made him be substituted in the match vs Perugia. But Brescia won anycase and now they are matematicly safe of staying in serie A :extatic: So this is the forth time they saved :strong: This is an absolute record 4 a team that before Roby arrival was nicknamed "the elevator" cause every time they made it to arrive in serie A they went down again the next season never making to save and to stay 2 years one after the other
Here are some pictures of the game:

@Nina: yes, as RobyBaggio10 said those colors are the flag of Soka Gakkai.

About the Euro again: well to be onest I think that Roby is not "on fire" like he was 2 years ago before the WC, 4 physical reasons but especially 4 motivation; this season was of course not one of his best one, he had problems all year round and missed many games, but still he leaded his team to their "goal", scored 11 goals (and most of tham are incredibly beautiful and difficolt), made 12 assists (resulting the best assist man of the tournament) and his average of ratings is second just to Totti so that is enought 4 him to be better than Del Piero, Di Vaio, Miccoli, Corradi, Inzaghi and even Vieri. The only Italian foward who did objectvily better than him is Totti while Cassano was on a similar level.
So even if I think that Roby will not be able to make the NT arriving to the final "alone" and will have a secondary role cause Totti is with no discussion the leader I want him to go 4 2 reasons:
1) I can't stand that he is always discriminated, if he did better than the other fowards why he cannot be called?
2) Even if I think that if the azzurri will suck, Roby will be not be able to save tham and to do "miracles" like in the past I think that is always better to loose knowing that the bests weare there. If not we will regret 4 ever like it happened 4 the last WC....
But as I said I'm afraid he will not be called :down:
The Genova match prouved that Baggio still the first 4 Italians so I imagine that Totti, who definitly want to be the the EURO's star and not just him prefer to be without him
It is always the same problem... he is so shiny that he makes others be afraid that he can take the spotlight away from tham...
This is Roby's destiny: he is so loved that he make coaches and other players jealous and discriminate him, and more he is discriminated more fans love him and support him, so he become more discriminated again, so even more loved, ecc..:groan:

Update for mark and coyote:
The tapes have been copied. I "called in sick" today so that I could do them
Just to let you know, the 19th minute of the match is a little messed up, about 30 seconds worth. Sorry for the inconvenience, I thought I had a better qualtiy tape than that. Besides that though, the pre-game and post-match interviews and analysis are there as well.
PM me to give me shipping details.
Thanks.
