Where's Mate with the latest up-dates? :undecide:
Hi

No updates on Roby... last was something like one month ago when he said he will not go to the Olimpics anycase but maybe will join Brescia to do some friendlys in Japan. Don't know wheare he is but surely he will be as far as he can from the medias now...
BTW I am almost sure that he will not change his mind and he will really stop playing... of course is sad but I think that he could not end his carear in a better way, still shyining and playing grate and with everybody praying him to go on.
Well... I will keep in my mind the magic night of Genova, his last match with the azzurri jersey... than Brescia-Lazio his last match at Rigamonti when he did this amazing goal and assist and Milan-Brescia, his last match with all the "scala of calcio" standing to clap him when he went out.
One thing is sure... no sportman in Italy was loved like Roby, as FIGC president Carraro said "he is not just a grate champion but also a social-phenomeno who will need studies to be understood".
Roby Baggio will be the simble of Italian soccer 4 ever
P.S.: And now a big thanks to Trap 4 not calling Roby to the EURO! I know he deserved to be there and I also know that all Italian fowards excluding Cassano sucked but while I was sure that in WC 2002 Baggio could make the difference and save Italy I am sure he could not this time cause there was so mutch jelousy and wars beetwin players and in those cases nobody can do nothing... if Baggio was in Portugal it wuold be a very bad and to his fantastic carear while like this he ended in the best way
P.S.2: Have you noticed the Roby-Banners in Portugal?
1) Baggio non sputa (Baggio will not spilt)
2) Roby Baggio agli Europei Trapattoni al Circo Orfei (Baggio to the EURO, Trapattoni to the Orfei Circus)
:LOL: Funny to see like Roby is the onlyone who has always banners 4 him when the NT plays both in Italy and abroad even if is more than 4 years that the azzurri mafia excluded him...
