Luigi Riva, the all-time leading goalscorer for Italy men's national team who was known as the “Rombo di Tuono” (Rumble of Thunder), has died. The Italian soccer federation (FIGC) confirmed Riva died on Monday as tributes started flooding in for the player, who earned his nickname because of the potency of his shot with 35 goals in 42 appearances for Italy. “I’m shaken and profoundly saddened, Italian soccer is grieving because a real and proper national hero has left us,” FIGC President Gabriele Gravina said.
