WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF SOCCER FINAL GAME - SPAIN, 1982

Good evening. It's a holiday: a joyous, irrepressible holiday in all of Italy. As everyone knows, our national soccer team has won the World Cup with another bold, exciting victory over the Federal Republic of Germany.

Let's relive some of the moments and emotions of this exciting championship game. Twenty-four minutes into the game Briegel knocks down Bruno Conti in the penalty box, the Brazilian referee Coello calls the foul. Now you see Cabrini with the ball. Although he has been one of the best athletes in World Cup play, he will make a mistake: maybe he was disturbed by the firecracker that exploded near him, maybe he was thrown by the importance of the moment. The ball goes out of bounds.

In any case, the Italians' meeting with the net is put off until twelve minutes into the second half. Look at that, it's Paolo Rossi who scores and with this goal assures for himself the spot of leading scorer.

Twenty-four minutes into the second half comes the second goal: look, this is a typical Brazilian play. Scirea, heel kick to Bergomi, again Scirea who sees Tardelli open. Nails a left-footed shot to the corner of the net: that puts Italy up two to zero! Marco Tardelli cannot contain his enthusiasm.

Let's go to the thirty-sixth minute of the second half (therefore, twelfth, twenty-fourth, thirty-sixth: the multiplication table of twelve is lucky for the Italians): Altobelli ... and it's three to zero!!
