The penalty against Brazil was not soft at all, there's an angle that was not on the TV cameras that show the defender pulling him, someone standing behind the goal caught it on camera. Before the picture/video was released there was a massive uproar over that penalty. FifaTV has a video about it on their youtube channel with an interview with the referee: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZOcgbJ1vdulZp8.html

Thanks, I never saw this when making the video, I only watched the match where none of the TV pictures show the tug on the Jersey. Clear penalty as the man says.

It’s a myth that he was an flop at Rangers. Yes we paid £12 million for him but he scored 40 goals in 64 games and we sold him for £8 million. This video would never have been made if he’d only cost us £4million. Peoples opinions on him are unfairly clouded by his price tag rather than his stats

Rangers overpaid but he had some success up there. He was an unmitigated flop at Sunderland though, and I think that's why this video was made.

I think it's more the expectations that was put on Flo that made it appear he was a flop. We were told we're making a massive signing, over £10mil which at the time was huge for us. The excitement was unreal. We thought we were signing a world class striker and got Flo instead. Nothing bad about that but the board bigged it up to be a huge signing and our next Ally McCoist. What we got was a decent striker that could never live up to such high expectations..

Flo was fantastic for Chelsea and his record would have been alot better if he wasn't in a queue behind Hughes, Vialli and Zola, Zola was a revelation at the club, I would argue that Hughes played some of his best football in an incredible career and Vialli was old but truly world class and became a club legend for his personality and pragmatism on the pitch. Not an easy place to command a starting place! The fans loved Flo for his work ethic and reliability but he was never going to break into a regular starting place while those guys were playing. That team is my favorite Chelsea team of all time and Flo was an important part of it.

Later there was released still photos from someone behind the goal capturing Baiano clearly dragging him by his shirt, just unfortinunate the video footage never captured what the referee called.

The penalty against Brazil wasn't cheap. None of the camera-angles saw what the judge saw, so for most who saw the camera-pictures it looked cheap. There appeared some pictures in the papers which answered them: Flo's shirt was looking like a sail, as the defender did pull his shirt as Flo tried to get pass him.

To say that Flo was a flop at Rangers is completely wrong. And considering all the difficulties he went through there and perforned quite well. And he did achieve a lot even when not being the most elegant or skillful of all the forwards out there at that time but surely was effective. So, to me... I'd rather have a player who's not all tricks and magic but gets the job done by the end of the day.

Great video- Flo was a decent striker who could score goals but that fee was way too much even for early 2000s!

Not Flo's fault if Rangers overpaid him and the team was a poorly put together group of players (with much bigger flops than him). The big misunderstanding was expecting him to be a One-Man-Show as if he were the actual Ronaldo. As good as Tore was, he still needed a competent setup around him to be devastating. Otherwise he was "just" a low double-digits striker. BTW, I met him last summer in Sogndal, a really nice guy. By far the chillest and best interaction I've ever had with a pro. And in Norwegian football he'd have every right to be a blowhard, considering he's like the 3rd best Norwegian player of his generation (and likely still Top5 ever).
