In the 1994 final, against Brazil, Roberto Baggio was the last player to go in the shootout and sent the ball flying over the crossbar. Damn what a game ! What the two presidents saw was a team with a remarkable back line, a remarkable midfield and a serious problem putting the ball in the net.

France had not lost to Italy in 20 years -- not since the 1978 World Cup -- and that surprising streak did not come to an end today. ''That put the counter back at zero,'' said Barthez, a relaxed sort who was laughing with a French assistant coach before the first penalty kicks were taken.

After each side made its opening shot, defender Bixente Lizarazu, the second French player to shoot, had his tentative shot stopped by Italian goalkeeper Gianluca Pagliuca.

''To lose three times on penalty kicks is a travesty,'' said Baggio, who made his penalty kick tonight but still ended up on the losing side.

Meanwhile, the Italians must face the fact that for the third consecutive World Cup they were eliminated after faltering in the shootout, the often unsatisfying exercise that is the closest thing their sport has to legalized gambling. The tournament was played in France from 10 June to 12 July 1998 and featured 32 teams divided into eight groups of four.

I would like this match in Italian, please! Merci R.Baggio pour le cadeau des prolongations.

Di Biagio, a 27-year-old late bloomer, struck the ball with his right foot toward the center of the goal. But Baggio, who had replaced an ineffective Alessandro Del Piero in the 67th minute, sent his volleyed, right-footed shot wide of the goal, and the French crowd roared on.

I just came here to watch the legendary Robert baggio, Crazy how fast paced game this was :O non stop action, no one cared about possession time or statistics.

They had two good chances in the first six minutes, and their best chance of the match at the end of the first half when Youri Djorkaeff found himself alone in front of Pagliuca, his teammate at Inter Milan, but shot wide. The France–Italy football rivalry is a football rivalry between the national football teams of Italy and France, having achieved six FIFA World Cups between the two countries.

But the French did not play as conservatively as their opposition today.

Anyway, if Cesare Maldini had made Roberto Baggio play from the beginning we would now be talking about an Italian victory. Though the French were instrumental in launching the World Cup in 1930, France has never advanced past the semifinals. Zidane had already been forced to miss the last two games for France after receiving a red card in the first round, and despite all his ball-caressing skill and vision, he had been unable to produce a goal today.

See the article in its original context from. J. Most of the French players were on their feet, but France's star playmaker Zinedine Zidane was on his knees with his arms locked behind his back as if he were doing penance.
