    Sad news and sad weeks indeed.
    Only this year I got to watch in full that 3-2. For years to come Rossi would be
    known in Brasil as "Carrasco do Sarri|i" (Sarri|i's Executioner), for having led
    Italy through to that victory. An historic performance by the man who was the symbol of Italy's tricampionato.
    May he rest in peace.

    In Portuguese. Early in the lockdown, back in April or May, Brazilian TV was replaying classic World Cup games (mostly Brasil's, but some others too), and this was one of them. It wasn't with the original TV commentary, they had present day broadcasters doing that "live". However, I suppose one can easily find the original one from TV Globo somewhere in YouTube.
    About that specific WC they did show all of Brasil's games, it was the first time I ever saw that team beyond highlights. It was easy to see why they were loved. However, I felt that the "cosmic injustice"-style narrative that took over the Brazilian press after the loss was little more than frustration with compounded interest over time. In my humble opinion, anyway, and maybe even that will deflate out now, who knows?
    And of course, our exposure to Rossi is highly biased towards that game, even though he went on to be rather important in two bigger ones down the road (the semis and the final). You say "Paolo Rossi" in Brasil and the average (reasonably
    knowledgeable) football fan will not tell you about Juventus, Italy or anything of the sort. He'll tell you about that one game in 1982.
    Just out of curiosity: why do you ask? :-) Is there any specific broadcast in either of these languages that you'd recommend? I don't really speak Italian, but one of my favorite broadcasts was one from Fabio Caressa at the WC'2006 semifinal, on Del Piero's goal. "Andiamo a Berlino, Beppe!". I'm sure you know it, but for any other interested party it's also somewhere in YouTube (can't access it right now to look up for links).

    So is mine. 1966 World Cup final was the first one I was aware of and watched. 7/11 England players are dead. Some died quite young (Moore
    at 51, Ball at 61). The Germans have done better, with only 3/11 dead (Tilkowski in 2020, Haller in 2012 and Emmerich in 2003 at only 61
    years old)

    No Joke.

    His big moment on the big stage was my first world cup... fond
    memories of the reaction of the Three Brothers' restaurant
    (they moved to Maryland from Napoli)!

    I've sometimes wondered how it would feel when the time would come for the 1982 heroes. I always imagined that Zoff would be the first to go, so didn't think much about the others, and certainly didn't think that it would happen so soon.


    RIP, Paolo!
    There is something very moving about the way Brazil has almost adopted "Paulo Hossi", brilliantly captured by that commercial prior to the 2014 World Cup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WnKfwYzL8g. You broke our hearts back then, but in the end it's only a game, and we have nothing but respect. That is the essence of sports.
