Vieri Sets Sights On World Cup Record
News Archive

06/04/2002. Italy striker Christian Vieri has moved to within two goals of Roberto Baggio and Paolo Rossi's joint record of nine strikes at the World Cup finals.

Vieri bagged five goals at France 98 and his two against Ecuador yesterday means he is within touching distance of the record.

"If I do it then great, although it means we must progress in the competition," he said. Hopefully we'll make it to the final and if I do it there then all the better."

I think he can do it too.
I'm so happy to finally see Vieri in action again for the nazionale. Even after that long absence he comes back to score 2 nice goals, the 2nd one being a Vieri trademark. roud:

FORZA VIERI E FORZA ITALIA!!!

He will beat that record and pick up the Golden boot if he keeps injury free

 

[Primo]

He is just so intimadating. But he'll have to score a few more to get the golden boot. Klost just scored again.
