 Riflessioni
It seemed sure: Brazil would sweep Italy aside and qualify for the Final, where the Cup would be theirs for the taking. It did not happen. This was where Paolo Rossi came suddenly and sensationally to life; this was the game which 'should' have been the World Cup Final. The game in which Brazil's glorious midfield, put finally to the test, could not make up for the deficiencies behind and in front of it. It took only five minutes for Rossi to score, and put Brazil on the ropes. The Italians, indeed, resumed where they had left off. As in the second half of their match against Argentina, they were untypically but exuberantly committed to attack, and they scored through Rossi after only five minutes.
