Docu : The Divine and Damned

E-mail

(44 min Part 1-5)

Part of the World Cup Heaven and Hell collection. 44 minutes of 11 of international football's most unique players.

Part 1 of 5: Watch Rene Higuita display his characteristically eccentric brand of goalkeeping in Italia '90, which ended with a bang when he tried to take on Roger Milla. Then it's a look back at Paul Breitner and his illustrious -- though not controverse-free -- international career.

Part 2 focuses on Gentile's no-nonsense marking, Beckenbauer as Germany's #1 captain, and Daniel Passarella's "hardline" attitude both on and off the pitch.

 

In part 3 you'll be treated to the legendary footballer with a deformed spine and inward-bending legs, as well as the talented, albeit vain, Johan Cruyff.

 

Part 4: the chainsmoking star player that was Socrates, ther German midfielder turned pariah, and the Roberto Baggio Story.

 

Part 5 continues with Roberto Baggio's USA '94 performance and then moves on to cover another star player from '94: Romario, and his subsequent fall from grace in the eyes of the next generation of Brazilian managers.
