Have you ever seen the documentary on Andres Escobar, the Columbian defender assassinated for scoring an OG against the Yanks in 1994 WC?
I never realised till I saw it that the reserve keeper’s brother was also assassinated after he let in 3 goals in the opening game against Romania.
Ironically, he was only playing because there 1st choice keeper had been jailed, for his close involvement with Pablo Escobar.
The Sth Americans are crazy. Think our players have got off lightly after the season we’ve had 😂😂
