BAGGIO

Italy’s Roberto Baggio hangs his head as Brazil celebrates their 1994 World Cup Soccer championship in the background after Baggio missed Italy’s final penalty kick. The two teams had played two scoreless periods as well as two scoreless overtimes, and the title game came down to penalty kicks for the first time ever, which Brazil won 3-2 when Baggio’s shot sailed over the top bar of the goal. The game was played July 17, 1994 in front of 94,194 fans in the Rose Bowl in California. It was Brazil’s fourth World Cup title. Photo by Jerry Lodriguss / The Philadelphia Inquirer
