[1] Italy lost 8-9 on penalty kicks.
Note: from 7/10/1972 until 8/6/1974, Dino Zoff did not concede a goal in
12 consecutive matches (for a total of 1.143 minutes), which is a
world record for national teams.
NB: following FIFA's decision not to count matches against FIFA XI's or
confederational representations as full internationals, match number
90 should be deleted; however, as the Italian FA insists this match
is a full international, FIFA let them.
[a] match 47 involved a selection of (mostly foreign) players in the US
league, yet the Italian FA amazingly consider it an official international,
unlike the English and Brazilian FAs whose teams played the same US
selection in the tournament.
