Poll's three yellow cards were very operatic too. Besides, Poll could not count. For the player, how can anyone be dumb enough to receive three yellow cards in the same match? But to be fair,I did not know why he was given the third card. I always thought the third yellow was weird. And i did not think Baggio's miss was operatic. Zico missed in 1986. Maradona missed in 1990. Baresi also missed it on the same 1994 game.
The thing about Baggio's miss was that he was one of the best players in the tournament and some would argue the main reason why they were in the Final. Then he missed. And it was not even close.
Caniggia's goal to break the Italian defense record in WC90. Two things make it operatic: beating a yet unbeaten defense, and Argentina going to eliminate host Italy in Napoli.
If there's an operatic moment from Caniggia is the goal against Brasil at the end of the game with the Maradona assist and after being dominated the entire match...
missing Caniggia in the 90 final and Di Maria/Aguero in the 14 final. Man what could have been for Argentina.
