I had bought a WC1998 preview Magazine and saw that Del Piero and Zidane were two of the World Stars along with Ronaldo (who I hated becuase he was Brazilian). When I saw them, I looked down and saw Juventus. I had liked Italy since 94WC but never followed club football. I saw Juventus under several big names and so I was like hey, this is a good team.
Then one day, my dad bought me FIFA 99 for our new Pentium 2 we had just bought. I choose Juve, becuase they were one of the best and had players such as Del Piero, Inzaghi, Deschamps, Zidane, and Peruzzi.
Then I remember, staying up one night, (I lived in South Africa back then so CL games were late at night) to watch a Juve game in the CL or UEFA Cup (too young to understand difference). I think they lost and dont clearly remember if Del Piero was playing.
Oh yeah, and I remember watching a game between Bayern Munich and Juventus during the time period of 1996-1999 in the CL. It was a final or semi-final. All the older guys I was with were rooting for Bayern, so I decided to be cool and go for Juve. They lost that game IIRC. Can someone update me on what that game was...
