WORLD CUP USA ’94 / THE FINAL : Spotlight : EVEN BAGGIO?

Not many expected Sunday’s World Cup final to be decided on penalty kicks, but what if. . . ?

Italy’s coach, Arrigo Sacchi, did not want to speculate Saturday, the day before the final.

“It is difficult to plan ahead . . . so it is very premature at this time to think about penalties,” he said.

About three hours later, Italian players ended a light workout by practicing penalty kicks.
