On September 6th, at 20:45, the Stadio Renzo Barbera of Palermo will host the world cup qualifier clash between Italy and Bulgaria.

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!!!
