The World Cup Game That Made Me a Fan

Paolo Rossi made me love the World Cup. Italy beat Brazil 3-2 on July 5, 1982.

This summer is my seventh World Cup. But that 1982 game is still the best. I know about Rossi and the controversy.

Football was great back then. I loved watching it with my dad.

Everyone wanted Brazil to win. They had great players like Eder, Falcao, Zico, and Socrates.

Italy's manager hugged his players after beating Brazil.

We wanted Italy to win. They had great players like Dino Zoff and Claudio Gentile.

Italy scored, then Brazil scored. It was a very exciting game. My dad and I hid behind the sofa because we were so nervous.

Italy won the game and the World Cup. They beat Germany in the final.

Marco Tardelli's goal celebration is the best. He was so happy.

My dad and I only talked about football. We loved that game.

We went to football games and watched on TV. I get nervous like my dad.

Paolo Rossi scored against Brazil.

The 2002 World Cup was my favorite to cover. Japan and South Korea were great hosts.

The 2018 World Cup was fun because England did well. I'm a big England fan.

The 2022 World Cup was different. I roomed with great colleagues.

I'm excited for this summer's World Cup. But the 1982 game will always be special.
