He put his firstwinner past goalkeeper Jozef Mlynarcyz in the 22nd minute when a free kick from the Giancarlo An-- tognoni eluded thePolish defenders and fell at his feet. It stood for the Italians' 1-0 halftime lead. IN THE 73rd minute he head- ded his second. Again the Polish defense misjudged a high ball, this time a cross from Bruno Conti, and Mlynarcyz had left his goal unguarded as Rossi nodded the ball in. The 25-year-old striker of Juventus neared the clmax of his story-book comeback. He was banned from socer for two years following a bribery scan- dal and started playing again three months ago. Earlier in the tournament, Italy eliminated defending champion Argen- tina. ITALY, TWICE winner of the World Cup in 1934 and 1938, reached the final for the fourth time.

Cup fans ealmer than usual SEVILLE, Spain (AP)- When winery worker Eric Fon- taine drove from his home in southern France to Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, he expected to pay scalper prices for a ticket to yesterday's World Cup semifinal match between the French and West Germans. Instead, he strolled up to the near-deserted ticket window the morning of the match and had a choice of seats. "I THOUGHT it would be sold out, and I was prepared to buy a ticket on the outside," Fontaine said. "I was sur- prised." The knots of flag-waving soccer fans raiding sidewalk cafes arrived just hours before the match, many driving from European countries, others buying expensive packaged tours and some blending a passion for soccer with vacations along the Mediterranean coast, about 250 kilometers from here. Bernd Hentrich of Hannover, West Germany took his family to a campground near the resort town of Malaga. "WE DROVE here, and this is the only game we are seeing. We arrived this morning and bought all our tickets at the stadium," Hentrich said. While many fans were pleased with the availability of tickets, hotel rooms and restaurant tables, others were disappointed by the almost total lack of World Cup fever. Scott Woodson and Guy Rutland, each 18, spent about $2,000 each on all-inclusive package tours from their hometown of Atlanta, for the final, semifinal and second- round games. Three hours before the match, the teen-agers sat languidly on the curb of the stadium parking lot, watching security police mount horses and frustrated souvenir vendors try to unload trinkets and caps to a disinterested crowd. "I expected it to be a little wilder," Woodson said. "I read in the papers about the English fan being stabbed in Madrid, but I didn't see anything like that. It's been quiet." "WE REALLY wanted to see the Brazilians play today. All the good teams are out," said Rutland, who was stunned when the heavily favored Brazilians were bumped from the tournament this week after a 3-2 second-round loss to Italy. Vendors reported that German visor-caps, selling for 300 pesetas ($3) were selling faster than the French souvenirs, but all said that business was slow. A cap vendor reported that as of a few hours before the match, she had sold only 20 hats, while a Toledo Vendor hawking ribbons in team colors admitted he had cut his asking price from 100 pesetas to 50.
