Why didn’t the keeper just let it go? I don’t think the guy attacking the ball would have got a touch. Let it fly into the net and restart with a goal kick.

If it wasn't for Paolo Rossi, we wouldn't have had the famous Marco Tardelli celebration in the final as he scored the 3rd in the 3-1 win against West Germany He is still Italy's joint top World Cup Finals scorer (8, I believe). I remember that amazing Brazil game like it was yesterday. Just simply a remarkable game of football. I have a 1982 Italy replica shirt. I may wear it today on my Teams calls as a mark of respect.
That World Cup is full of great memories for me and that game against Brazil is one of the all time greats. I can’t remember all details but wasn’t Rossi called back up in some controversy after a ban leading up to the World Cup?
I think (without googling) he was on a 3 year ban from 1980 and it was cut down to 2 years so he could participate in the World Cup. EDIT: Yep, match fixing scandal.
The 'interesting' thing was in 1982, Italy was rocked with a match fixing scandal and won the world cup. The next time they were rocked by a match fixing scandal? ....2006
Dortmund has sacked Lucien Favre after a dip in form. I can think of a certain unemployed Argentine who would be perfect for them (although they're apparently letting their assistant finish out the year).
He really would. Enough so that I'm a bit unnerved that they're waiting to appoint a permanent manager, because that often means that a team wants to pry someone free but don't believe that they can make it happen in-season. I'm just hoping that it means that they want to make a run at Nagelsmann...
If a club like Dortmund come in then I expect he'll be off mate. Might have Arsenal to be worried about too.
If Ralph left for Dortmund, I would possibly give up on football. EDIT: though if we got Poch back as a result, I'd take interest again.
