You should go back and watch the Italians in Euro 2000 after France snatched victory from them. And this is after going through 90, 94 and 98. I think Albertini is still crying.

This was probably my first real sports heartbreak.
Was 12 years old and at about that age where you start to "Get" sports and really get more invested. I remember watching Baggio miss in 94 but was too young at the time to really get what it meant, and in 98 it sucked when they lost on penalties but it was still only the QFs.
But the fashion in which how Italy lost that game was painful. Totti has missed some wide open chances. Such a weak goal for France to tie it up in extra time too. Pretty sure I cried after Italy lost.
