Concacafing at its finest: 35 years ago the #USMNT won one of the most batshit WCQs vs Guatemala. It was a crucial win in qualifying for Italia 90. In 1’ you have trips, elbows, a slap, and a thunderbastard of a goal. The next 89 min are just as intense.
An underrated classic
@juliantvreport@RayHudson Looking good in that Miami Fusion hat Julian! What a great MLS team that 2001 Miami Fusion team was! And it was an impressive result for Inter-Miami playing away vs Seattle last night.
Let's also remember the other team members: Doc Lawson, Mike Windischmann, Julie Veee, Eric Eichmann, Brent Goulet, and of course Peter Smith and HC John Kowalski; trainers Jim Kittelberger and Kees De Koenig, Dr. Mel Hayashi; Head of Delegation: Chuck Blazer! What a team!
Thanks Smash ....I appreciate the compliment, especially coming from the king of "toca-toca" football back in the day! You had the skillful touch on the ball! I hope all is well my friend!
It is nice to speak with you too Beneddra. Yes, I was part of our full National team and a member of the 1988 US Olympic and 1990 USA World Cup teams. I am now working in youth player development in my role as Academy Director for South Florida Football Academy in Boca Raton,FL
