Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 3131674, member: 266"] [B][/B] Yes, I know the rules have changed quite a bit to eliminate much of the brutally physical play from the 80s. Argentina vs Italy in 1990 is a great part of the documentary - filmmakers spend time showing Napoli's divided loyalty and the blowback for Maradona afterward. They also chronicle the rise of a southern franchise (Napoli) in Serie A dominated by the northern giants (Juventus, Milan, Inter). You're probably already familiar with much of the disdain northern Italians had (still have?) for their southern compatriots. Given the lack of soccer coverage (and tv broadcast) in the 80s, it was very interesting to catch a glimpse through one of the all time greatest players. His "Goal of the Century" is the most ridiculous WC goal considering how quickly he moved to avoid contact while retaining possession. [/QUOTE]
