Appearances
It's remembered for one of the most legendary moments in the entire tournament.
Big words.
Italy win a penalty, up steps their captain, one of the best players on the planet at the time.
He walks up to the spot, cool as you like.
Then, just as he's about to take it,
His shorts fall down.
Here we go.
Would that have been televised?
No.
There might have been a few drawings.
It might have been a black and white advert.
As he's about to take it, his shorts fall down.
The elastic is completely given up.
Right there in front of the whole stadium.
The elastic on your arse is going to give up soon, by the way.
The player, he doesn't miss a beat.
He grabs the waistband with one hand, holds his shorts up, takes a slightly shorter run up and slots the penalty straight past the Brazilian keeper.
Yes!
What about the keeper?
I hear you cry.
