Highlights of the Italy v Brazil game at the world cup in 1982. July 5th 1982, Estadio Sarria. 5′ 1-0 Paolo Rossi (assist – Antonio Cabrini) 12′ 1-1 Socrates (assist – Zico) 25′ 2-1 Paolo Rossi 68′ 2-2 Falcao (assist – Junior) 75′ 3-2 Paolo Rossi (assist – Marco Tardelli)


but italy is having 4 world cup, german only 3, also italy is playing in 6 finals only one less than german and finally, italy has defeated german 3 times in world cup matches(2 SF and 1 final), german never and for all german players can we italians match over WC history. But german has always been good because team not single players, strict diciplin. england has not being so good always but we in italy have so big respect for england for their football history is longer than other country,
Germany had the best players: Rumminigge, Breitner, Beckenbauer, Litbarski, Fischer, Hrubisch, Muller, Klinsmann, Hoeness, Matthias, Voller, Schweinsteiger, Berthold etc etc. That’s why neither the English nor the Italians have appeared in as many international finals. Italy were better in 1982 and got a little lucky in 1978, but the rest of the time Germany had the best teams. England? Not even close.
VIVA ITALY
lets be honest,for shear entertainment ,teams with great players in,and too tight shiny kits,this tournament beats them all.Even the music was better…..
powerful italy at best, only team to make them brazilians go down that year, iam proudest of all to be italian, but lets be honest here the English invented the game and for that them must be as most important on world, in truth they showed the world how they should be playing game, Charlton, Moore, Hirst, Banks, Hoddle, Keegan, Gascoin, Francis, matthews, finney, rooney on goes the list
Such an epic win. Italy is amazing!
good player, sneaky type always ghosting in and being in the right place to score when it mattered.
este partido tranquilamente puede ser considerado uno de los mejores de toda la historia del futbol mundiAL
i was very young but remember this one very good.
Besides being the greatest champion on tournament history, the Brazilian team is the only one wich conquered titles in other continents: Europe (Sweden, 1958) North America (U.S. 1994) and Asia (Korea / Japan, 2002). This out the titles won in Latin America: Chile and Mexico (1962 and 1970).
ITALY is best brazil is 2nd
After this cup most of our players moved to Italy in order to teach how to play football game. And in 2002 we were champions for the fifth time! We need not discuss anything. There is a dictation that the CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT! LOL!!!
@guenter200 Italy has always been a good customer to beat, both in football and the volleyball. What occurred in 1982 was an exception. 12 years before we became trichampion on top of them, and 12 years later world champions for the forth time, on top of them too. Kind regular customer…
so f*ck off you revisionists!! you can’t change history and that is extremely good!!!!!!!!!
i’m so glad the f*cking brasilians lost!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Itália só não foi eliminada na 1ª fase daquela copa por um erro de arbitragem. O juiz anulou um gol legítimo de Camarões alegando impedimento e veio a ser campeã mundial… Não entendo pq a FIFA até hoje não aceita a tecnologia como auxilio p arbitragem, já que a dúvida é desfeita na hora.
Italy was not eliminated in the group stage of that cup thanks a refereeing mistake. The referee annuled a legitimate goal of Cameroon claiming offside. And Italy became world champion … I don’t understand why FIFA doesn’t accept the technology as an aid for refereeing until today; since the doubt can be undone at the same moment.

Imaginem só esse time de 1982 com Romário no lugar de Serginho e Márcio Santos (eleito o melhor zagueiro de 94) no lugar desse Luizinho fraquinho….
yes Nano, I know well in Brasil there was a great Italy migration,…I knowed a german-brazilian girl here from Porto alegre and she told me in Porto alegre is full of northern italians (lombards, venetians etc.) and germans ,….Dunga played a lot of years in Italy so he learnt a lot “tactically” I think,…I mean Brasil 1982 was great in midfield but not defensively, now Brasil is too good defensevely and w a great goalkeeper (our (of Inter) Julio Cesar
helcio, No bom portugues brasileiro…” somo nós” rsss…é claro que se nao fosse aquela firulagem toda do cerezzo nós eramos campeoes, demos azar nos penalti perdido pelo zico em 1986, em 90 foram 4 bolas na trave da argentina…e aquela firula no final do jogo que perdeu um gol cara a cara…coisa que outro atacante nao perderia…se o brasil joga sério e marcand duro, nao tem pra ninguem…por que no talento sempre sobramos…por isso que perdemos 1998 e 2006
itally wasn’t so good …correction
