Out of the 16 matches, the one that is the most remembered is certainly the world cup semifinal of USA 94.
A great double of Roberto Baggio in the first half gave Italy the 2-1 win over the strong Bulgarian team. Besides Baggio's goals, special mention to the great performance of Demetrio Albertini, who played a perfect game.
Italy-Bulgaria also reminds us, sadly, of Euro 2004. On June 22 of that year, the whole nation join Cassano's tears as the 2-1 victory wasn't enough for the Nazionale to go through the group stage given the "biscotto" between Sweden & Denmark.
#ForzaItalia!!!
