Thanks for this one! I was a huge fan of Italian football at the time and wanted them to win the tournament (since England, my country, wasn't there). Albertini was on fine form here, and had a couple of very good shots, as well as making a good assist for Baggio's second goal. I didn't realise until seeing the highlights again on KZbin in recent years how early Italy had gone ahead. My memories in the late 90s of the game were that all the goals had come in the second half. From this extended highlights video I can see there were a lot more close chances than I recalled as well. @5:26 Casiraghi was unfortunate to be wrongly judged offside, a very close call to be fair to the linesman. @7:34 poor Conte gets a head clashing with the back of his skull! Accidental by the looks of it, but it must have hurt a lot. It's weird for me to think of this as almost 30 years ago, it was probably the high point of my interest in football which waned at the end of the same decade.

Apparently you also didn’t recall Costacurta’s handball in the penalty area and the obvious penalty for Bulgaria that was not given.

@@mbojilov1 @2:33 What would the rules say for that, red card isn't it? Very deliberate foul on the last man, and I think he used his elbow too. I can't remember when the last man rule came in, but nonetheless Bulgaria were lucky not to go a man down at that point, don't you agree?

@@mbojilov1 Вярно е, че имаше неотсъдена дузпа срещу Костакурта. Обаче ние сме се вторачили единствено в тази ситуация, но след толкова години нека честно да си признаем, че Италия ни надигра тогава. И можеха да ни бият и с повече - имаха доста пропуски. А на @5:35, примерно, ясно се вижда, че Казираги не е в засада. Освен това човекът е прав, че някои съдии като нищо биха дали червен картон на Хубчев @2:33.

Italy were very great deserved the win very clear even with more goals than two goals and respect to that good Bulgaria old team too.

This was a very strong Bulgaria: they had beaten Argentina AND Germany to reach the semi-final against Italy in 1994. I believe Italy would have walloped Brazil in the final if Baggio hadn't had to play with an injury and if it hadn't been for FIFA insisting on playing the Final at 3 pm in 40°C heat. Instead, the Italians couldn't get out of second gear and Brazil won on penalties.

Baggio was so unlucky. He went into the tournament carrying an injury, and then picked up another in this game. Factor in the awful playing conditions; it was a miracle he managed to run, let alone produce those magical moments. Italy did really well. This was in spite of Sacchi's rigid tactics and crazy decision to either play Signori - Serie A's top scorer for several seasons - on the left wing, or not at all. An Italy team using a 4321, with Baggio and the great Zola, playing just in behind Signori could have been both deadly and very entertaining to watch.

The french referee Joël Quiniou handed the match to Italy on a silver platter because Bulgaria eliminated france in the 90th minute at Parc De Princes on November 17 1993.

Where is the moment with the obvious handball in the penalty area by Costacurta? Sometime in the second half, as he tried to stop Kostadinov. It was clearly seen by the linesman too but no flag. Go and watch the tape again and re-do your video.

I was gonna write the same comment... That was *AN OBVIOUS* penalty *and this video does not feature it AT ALL !! :O* Bulgaria got screwed HARD in this one !! There's more: The very final moment shown in this clip, where Letchkov was pushed down in the pen-area, is *ALSO* arguably a penalty... Well... Guess Italy was just *"destined"* to be a finalist, and Bulgara *"cursed"* to *NOT* be one, eh ? ;]] .
