Italy held to draw as they pay World Cup tribute to former great

The Italian team wore black armbands in yesterday’s World Cup game against New Zealand in honour of a former European Championship winner.

Roberto Rosato, who died earlier in the day, was part of the team that lifted the trophy in 1968.

He also won the European Cup and a host of other top trophies with AC Milan.

Unfortunately the Italian side didn’t do Rosato proud, being held to an ignoble 1-1 draw against the antipodeans.
