Why is Baggio on there??? Mate, Roberto Baggio is one of the greatest Italians to grace the game. Not only in World Cups did he prove himself but also at famously rich clubs like Juventus, Milan, Inter and the less fortunate clubs Bologna, Fiorentina, Brescia. The year he brought Brescia up to Serie A he trained his heart out to get a spot on the 2002 world cup squad and the dickhead Trappatoni never picked him. Credit to Baggio i hate everyone who slagged him off when he missed the penalty in USA '94. I share Baggio and Schilacci as two amongst the best of Italian players of the century although Baggio is a legend 'il divino codino'.
Costacurta and Maldini are veterans of italian football once again, they have contributed a lot in world cups and also for their club teams, Maldini goes under hall of fame with his father in Milan.
Vieri was good before his World cup 98 performance, he was a critical player for Inter when they had Ronaldo (injured) he proved worthy until the last season. |
Dude, I know my history I would obviously include them as well, but I simply made that comment in response to InterMilan31 having originally ommitted Schillaci under this pretext:

Im sorry but in Italy anything but a World Cup win is a failure |
Thus my comment was to show how unsound his reasoning was (or how poor his excuse was -- whichever), since the four players I mentioned never won a World Cup, but were clearly included in that list (and deservedly so).
