Eu tinha 4 anos de idade na época, era muito pequeno mas me lembro de pegar minha bandeirinha do Brasil e sair gritando o nome de Romário, apesar de não entender muito bem o que era o Futebol na época na minha opinião essa foi a melhor Copa de todos os tempos (!)
fratilor asta da echipa!nu astia de acum!erau mandria noastra,aveam 13 ani la campionatul asta si n-am ratat nici un meci!ieseam in strada sa ne bucuram!acum?'marele'mutu e egal cu zero!nu joaca nimic!
Jesus! Why do all african teams always do that stupid Roger Milla celebration style when they score a goal, no matter if is in a World Cup, a World Cup qualifying match or a friendly??
My favourite soccer stadium in the whole world for all-time is and will be Pontiac Silverdome, Detroit! Here is my top 10 favourite soccer stadiums! 1st Pontiac Silverdome 2nd Kanji Dome 3rd Riverside Stadium 4th Santiago Bernabeu 5th Stade de France 6th Allianz Arena 7th Rose Bowl 8th Stanford Stadium 9th Hamburg Arena 10th Estadio da Luz BTW: What is the name of Borussia Dortmund`s Stadium? It begins with the letter ' W'.
Greece REALLY REALLY sucked as hell in USA 94! They didn`t even score a single goal in the entire tournament. And this English narrator said that Greece was the weakest team in the World Cup USA 1994. I think he is right. Who else agreees with me? HANDS UP!
LBSFoCAVOK, Hell yeah! Bulgaria deserved the win! I still don`t understand how they lost 3-0 against Nigeria in their opening game. Did the Bulgarians take the match for granted? FORTZA BULGARIA! I want Bulgaria to win the next world cup 2014 in Brazil!
darn sweden i was 7 back then. romania-sweden. i cried my eyes off:(( best PR my country ever had: Hagi, Petrescu, Raducioiu, Dumitrescu. and then again for italy in the final. dino & roberto baggio, donadoni, maldini.
Heh, my da bought me dis on VHS just after the world cup. Twas the first World Cup I ever watched, was 9 years old, it was what got me into football. What a tournament... So many memories!
It is really nice to see how far the sport has come in the United States since those days.... and all the worst images I have in my head of horrible things have been erased by the sight, once again of the '94 USA uniforms. They must have hired some recreational American soccer league uniform provider to make their kits. Those things were ghastly!
Can't believe Mexico 70 had Italy and Brazil in the finals and USA 94 had Italy and Brazil the north american cup had the two greastest nations in the finals
los brasileros tienen que agradeserle al señor alvelange que en ese momento era presidente de la fifa y JUSTO SE RETIRABA DE LA PRESIDENCIA QUE CASUALIDAD QUE BRASIL SALE CAPEON BRASIL DEVOLVELE ESE TROFEO A MARADONA QUE LO BOLTEO AVELANGE ES ESE AÑO NO NOS YEGABAN A LOS TOVILLOS CON EL MAS GRANDE EN LAS CANCHAS
noooooo mijo, YO CREO QUE USTED NO VIO EL MUNDIAL JAJAJA Brazil mucho mejor que Argentina, yo creo que tu estas confundiendo el mundial de la sub 20 jajajaja
Oh yea, and where was England...? Sorry Swede-fans, not until you can get convincing victories of present day England/Germany/Italy/France/Brazil/Argentina etc. you can't claim any kind of status as a good team.
There was very little atmosphere in these games, very quiet stands throughout the games. That's what you get when playing football in USA.
Remember that Sweden scored 15 goals in the tournament whilst Brazil scored 13 and that Sweden beat Bulgaria with 4-0 in the bronze game. Bulgaria had flair and amazing individual skill but I still think that they weren't the fourth best football nation of the world at the time.
Neither was Sweden. Sweden only got to that game because they didn't have to face teams like Germany, Italy or Brazil in the knock-out stages. In the end Sweden beat Saudi-Arabia, Romania and Bulgaria, those weren't really that tough. The whole tournament was also strangely lacking in quality, normally tough teams like Germany and Argentina were very lacklustre, and Argentina were if I remember correctly disqualified because of Maradona's drug use. But anyway, not a memorable tournament.
Do your homework, for starters; Bulgaria beat Germany and then Sweden beat Bulgaria four to nill. Argentina weren't disqualified only Maradona was. Argentina got knocked out by Romania who Sweden, as you mentioned, then beat. Romania was considered to be one of the tournament's best teams with several players in big european clubs. Basically the same Swedish team had two years earlier played a semi-final of the european championship wherer they beat both England and the champions Denmark.
Both Bulgaria and Romania didn't have the kind of consistent big team level of play. They relied on Stoichkov and Hagi, and a couple of other players. They were lucky to be up that high, as was Sweden. Since Sweden didn't have to face the big teams on it's way up I will continue to think of it as being very lucky to have gotten that far. Not that third and fourth place mean much.Or do you think that South Korea was the world's 4th best team in 2002? Sweden just got lucky.
South Korea reached the semi-finals for numerous reasons and advantages that Sweden didn't enjoy in 1994. Fisrtly they payed off the refereés. Secondly their squad had been practising as a team since february 2002 whilst France for instance only got a week of practise prior to the world cup. Remember that Sweden played against Brazil in the group stages where they were evenly matched. The game ended 1-1 and Sweden were, together with Holland, the only country who managed to score aginst them,
I watched the games live from tv, like I watched the -90 and -86 games. I really like Hagi, I think he was great. But Romania really should've beat Sweden, come on. I was supporting your team during the game and you let me down by losing to Sweden.
Despite absences (england, uruguay past winners) missing several top names (Savicevic, Gullit, Van basten, Cantona, Papin etc..) 94 was the opposite of the tense, negative Italia 90, but equally fascinating...match-ups like Argentina-Nigeria, Cameroon-Brazil...Baggio carrying Italy, then Romania and Brazil who set games alight, and impressive team efforts like Sweden. I loved Romania-Argentina and the day Bulgaria beat Germany. Will always remember 'the greatest show on earth' with fondness.
I remember watching that Colombia-Romania game; before the tournament everybody said Colombia would win the world cup and I switched on the game just before Hagi goal. I went "What?! How the hell can ROMANIA do that to Colombia??" Then the Colombians reduced but the Romanians scored again and I again couldn't believe it. It was one of the greatest shocks I ever experienced watching a football game.
dude get over yourself, Romania didn't "upset" Colombia lol. Romania is a european top team and it was kind of expected for them to do so well in a group with the Swiss, USA, and Colombia
Well said mate, Romania was in my opinion one of the tournament's best teams with regards to the overall performance and quality of squads. They were for example better than Bulgaria who lost three out of seven games but still managed to finish in fourth place.
Yes and it still surprises me they label the 3-1 beating of Colombia as an "upset" lmfaoo when ahve Romania not been able to crush mediocre south american teams? as for Bulgaria you still cant take away the fact they beat Argentina just like Romania did btw, and defending champs Germany and a narrow 2-1 loss to Italy. for all we know they could've been in that final vs Brazil and might've actually won it too. Romania could've done the same unfortunatly for penalty kicks against sweden
European top team? Are you on drugs? Italy, France, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, England, Germany. Those are top team... Romania is not even an usual European Cup Finalist...
let me remind you that Portugal and Holland have only been to the world cup a combined 12 make it 13 times now that holland already qualified for the 9th world cup. Lets see Holland has qualified for 9 world cups and romania/bulgaria 7!!! how is that not almost as good as Holland or even Portugal when Portugal has barely qualified a measly 4 times for a wc and 5 times for a euro cup lool. France Spain and Holland havent been to most world cups with each of them having 12/18 appearances
They did have a good squad throughout the 90s. They have a much better world cup record than for instance Portugal. Holland hasn't been that good throughout the years either apart from the 70s.
I´m a soccer coach you fucking imbecil. I surely watch more than you do. You are talking on supositions, Romainia should have passed BUT DIDNT SWEDEN WON! SO STFU! Portugal should have won the EURO2004, but Greece DID, CAUSE THEY WON! STFU Fucking Gipsy.
