Just to change the subject from N(ass)khid and Bamseerain...
WCQ always has been filled with rags to riches stories of the underdogs and their day in the sun. Allyuh remeber Stoichkov (bulgaria) free kick when dey beat Germany in 1994?
Quote:
"Having narrowly missed from a similar position earlier in the half, Stoichkov this time locked the radar on perfectly. His sweet left-foot strike got up and over the wall and down again so quickly it only just cleared the goal-line before it touched the floor again. So inch-perfect was the kick that it went into the bottom corner, leaving Bodo Illgner leaden-footed and stranded on his goal-line. With fifteen minutes to go, the score was one-all."
