Because of the build up I have never seen someone get a one on one where they walk slowly from the half way line with every one in the stadium watching them, a tv audience of billions, the hopes of a nation and a snide goalkeeper (Bartez aside of course) trying to put them of.
Look at previous World Cups Baggio missed in a final, ordinarily you would put your house on him to score and look at 1990 Argentina played for penalties all the way through to the final, I would never want to see a team use such tactics to get to a final again, let alone be in with a chance of winning it.
