Gloryland: USA 94 Retrospective, Part 4 - The Drugs Don't Work
Description
This month, the group stage of USA 94 reaches a conclusion with many teams jockeying for position. Stefan Effenberg efffectively ends his international career as the Germans have a narrow escape against South Korea, the Group of Death reaches gridlock, Saudi Arabia come up with arguably the goal of the tournament, Oleg Salenko and Roger Milla produce a day of records in San Francisco. However, the real scandal and drama is saved for Group D, where Diego Maradona fails a drug test (a shocking moment yet, with hindsight, almost inevitable) and a pair of injury-time goals completely change the complexion of the final standings.
Thanks for listening. World Cup Rambling will return in September.
