Roberto Baggio, a last minute
inclusion in the World Cup 98 proves that he is a better choice than the ineffective Del
Piero. But age is catching up with R Baggio. He lost the magic of the World Cup 94. He had
a good game in the World Cup 4 years ago, but because of a missed penalty, he was blamed
from it. He didn't fully recover from it after the World cup. But at least he is able to
get back in form to be included for the WC this year. I admire him lots, his determination
to get back from his failure. This time round, he made no misses when it comes to taking
penalties. However, this might be his last World Cup........
