Twenty Years Ago Today

[CASPERWAIT$]

Germany played Bolivia in the World Cup in Chicago

I remember it like it was yesterday.

Oh, and some ex football player drove slowly around L.A. threatening suicide. Supposedly he was upset his wife mysteriously died.

Wonder what happened to him?

Italy played Ireland on East Coast. Lots of tension.

The final between Italy and Brazil went scoreless for 120 minutes (snoozefest).

Brazil won in shootout.

I attended this game in 94 at the Rosebowl in Pasadena.

It might have been Romania-USA..? I'll have to ask my dad. He's Romanian. I recall it being one of the hottest days of my life.

 

[FairWarning]

The 30 for 30 about 6/17/94 is great.

I attended this game in 94 at the Rosebowl in Pasadena.

On the next game Colombia played USA, one of Colombia's defender Andres Escobar scored an own goal making them lose the match and mathematically eliminated. On the return to Colombian some narco shot and killed him.

ESPN did a 30 On 30 episode on that match and subsequent murder, I believe.
