Also, if you think Rivera's goal was far from exceptional, please Marco look at it again. It's not the most spectacular goal you'll ever see, but it's the ease of how Rivera finished the ball. With the ball coming towards him, Rivera throws the goalkeeper off with a little body feint, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way and then slotting the ball home with a inch perfect finish (what the Italians call the colpo di billiardo). It's not flashy and fancy, but it is exquisite to watch. But maybe it's just me going nuts and showing my Milan bias towards Rivera and my love of the fantasista position as a whole. :) Well Italy-Germany 1970 is considered by most Italians to be the best Italian National Team game of all time (along with Italy-Brazil 1982) so I guess that factored in.

By the way, I didn't have time to watch the entire thing... what rank did they give <b>Fabio Grosso's 2006 goal vs. Germany</b>? Great stuff Fra! :)
