ロベルト・バッジョ起死回生の同点ゴール 1994年🇳🇬戦 一人少ない敗色濃厚のアッズーリを、帰りの飛行機から引きずり降ろした救世主 ここから始まるバッジョ1994年W杯の物語り
Elite
This is Hristo Stoichkov. The greatest Bulgarian footballer of all time.🇧🇬 A man that had been banned for life at 19 for a mass brawl. Stamped on a referee's foot. Made a fan leave a training for wearing a Real Madrid. And broke the leg of an American University student with a violent tackle during a friendly game. He once famously told the press that with his name, there had always been one Christ above and one below, and that the one below also performed miracles. He was not wrong. Born in Plovdiv, raised on the streets, Stoichkov was a known troublemaker everywhere he went. Later nicknamed El Pistolero and The Dagger. As a teenager at CSKA Sofia, he was involved in a mass brawl during the Bulgarian Cup Final so violent that the Communist Party punished both clubs by forcing them to change their names entirely. Stoichkov received a lifetime ban at 19. It lasted ten months. In the 1989-90 season he scored 38 goals in 30 league games at CSKA Sofia, winning the European Golden Boot. Johan Cruyff signed him for Barcelona the same summer. Within weeks of arriving, Stoichkov was suspended for stamping on a referee's foot and received an eight-game ban. He scored 14 league goals in what remained of that season anyway. Five La Liga titles followed. A European Cup. A Cup Winners' Cup. A Ballon d'Or. His relationship with Cruyff was the central tension of his entire Barcelona career, two enormous egos, genuinely mutual respect, constant friction. When their partnership ended, Stoichkov never publicly forgave Cruyff for what he saw as a lack of loyalty. At Washington DC United training, a fan arrived wearing a Real Madrid shirt. Stoichkov screamed at him to leave, apparently offended by the sight of it. When Bulgarian journalists asked difficult questions, he answered exclusively in Spanish. A language nobody in Bulgaria understood. Then the World Cup. 1994. His year. In the qualifiers, Stoichkov had given a team talk before the match against France in Paris that became legendary in Bulgaria. "Is Cantona better than me?" he roared. "Is Ginola stronger than Letchkov? Maybe on paper, but it will be us on the pitch." It was. Bulgaria won in the last minute. France missed the World Cup. Bulgaria lost their opening game to Nigeria 3-0. The tournament seemed over before it started. Then Stoichkov dragged them back, two penalties against Greece, one goal and one assist to beat Argentina, where Maradona had already been sent home after a positive drugs test. "My policy," Stoichkov said, "is always to do better on the pitch. That's all." July 5. Round of 16. Mexico. 1-1 after extra time. Penalties. Bulgaria through. Then Germany in the quarter-final, the defending champions. Lothar Matthäus scored first. Stoichkov equalised with a free kick from the edge of the wall, curling it over and inside the post. Bulgaria won 2-1. The greatest result in the history of Bulgarian football. Italy stopped them in the semi-final. Baggio scored twice. Stoichkov scored a penalty too late. Bulgaria lost 2-1. They finished fourth, losing 4-0 to Sweden in the third-place match, then flew home. Six goals. Golden Boot, shared with Oleg Salenko. Ballon d'Or. That year he won them both. Bulgaria's fourth-place finish in 1994 remains the best in their history. Stoichkov himself said: "Now I know for sure that God is Bulgarian." He wasn't speaking about divine intervention. He was talking about himself. He has his own wine label now. He plays golf. At the book launch of his autobiography in 2018, the same referee he'd stamped on at Barcelona attended and symbolically stomped on Stoichkov's foot as a joke. He lives in Miami. He is probably still arguing with someone, somewhere, about something. The one below performed miracles that summer.
Wonderful scenes!
One of football’s most beautiful pictures. 🇮🇹 Roberto Baggio & Demetrio Albertini WC94
Striker has said this before but it is one of the very best Brazilian away strips.
Striker hugely enjoys this photo. It captures a moment in time that has echoed through the footballing world for many years. Striker’s not explaining it either. You either get it or you don’t. And great kits also 🥰

Today marks 22 years since Des Lynam’s last moments as a football presenter, at the final of Euro 2004. Here he’s professional until the end, but has a glint of sadness in his eyes as time forces him to cut the broadcast short. The end of an era. ❤️
Woke.
BREAKING: FIFA seriously considering moving England’s World Cup last 16 clash versus Mexico City from 6pm to noon on Sunday owing to a forecast thunderstorm. Final decision imminent. bbc.co.uk/sport/football…
On Jan Molby’s birthday, a reminder of this sensational solo goal from 1985. Proper player, that lad.
This week in 1994, Leonardo was sent off for a horrific elbow on Tab Ramos - fracturing his skull. What followed in ITV’s commentary box was one of the greatest disagreements ever heard on a live football broadcast. It’s Alan Parry vs Kevin Keegan…
Striker will never apologise for sharing this again and again.
This week in 1998: De Boer + Bergkamp + Barry Davies = Poetry.
