1994 US World Cup. The field was born in America with many peculiarities. The last World Cup where 24 teams competed. Maradona, Escobar, Roger Milla, Romario, Baggio, Stoykov, Oleg Zalenko, the fair full of news. It was also my first World Cup in memory. A FIFA World Cup experienced and enjoyed through reading.
Most of the competition takes place in the early hours of Indian time. Fewer houses have TVs in the country. A time when there was no internet and social media like today. Due to his young age, he is not allowed to go to other places and watch the World Cup while sleeping from home. The only recourse is the next day’s newspapers with details of the matches. That too, when Subhi goes to church, he must get the first page and the sports page and read it eagerly before his neighbor wakes up.
The favorite team to follow since 1994 was Brazil. Seeing the photo of Romario and Bebeto’s goal celebrations in the newspapers is a chill in my heart. Reading saw Baggio’s penalty fly over the bar in the final and Brazil win their fourth title. Later, I watched most of the matches and the final through YouTube. The beautiful goal scored by the Saudi star and Bebeto’s celebration, Stoykov’s Bulgaria advancing as the dark horses of the tournament, and Colombia’s Escobar killed for an own goal were the headlines of the 1994 US World Cup. After many years, the 1994 World Cup was full of samba beats. Goalkeeper Tufferel, captain Dunga, Romario and Branco were the favorite players of the day.
Although he had heard the stories of Maradona and Canegia from his friend Rifash, who is an arch-enemy Argentina fan, he liked only Canegia and Ortega. Brazil, which won the first World Cup title held in Asia in 2002, is confident of winning the first World Cup held in the Arabian Desert in 2022. The beautiful Lucille Stadium is sure to turn yellow on December 18.
In addition, Brazil fans Qatar will be the twelfth in the gallery supporting the Canaries. With only 100 days left for the World Cup celebrations, Brazil fans are tearing up the Qatar arena by organizing the Brazil Fans Premier League, friendly matches and a grand meetup in the presence of Brazilian vloggers, prominent media workers and famous Brazilian football stars as part of the World Cup celebrations. The logo was released by Brazil’s national star Marcelo.
