🇳🇬 DANIEL AMOKACHI - two goals, natty shirt, lovely hair, nice big face - you can see why Everton snapped him up
🇧🇷 DUNGA - winning captain, haircut you could set your watch to, later bafflingly overlooked for the role of Guile in the Streetfighter movie
🇸🇦 SAEED AL-OWAIRAN - scored the goal of the tournament after running/stumbling approximately 600 yards, pursued by a troupe of comedy Belgians. Iconic.
🇪🇸 LUIS ENRIQUE - pictured here in a far from happy mood, having famously been on the recieving end of Mauro Tassotti's elbow in the QF against Italy. Tassotti got an 8 game ban and never played for Italy again. Naughty, really.
🇺🇸 ALEXI LALAS - first American ever to play in Serie 'A', defender, guitar god, noted denim enthusiast
🇷🇴 Oh Gheorghe, you beautiful man*
*IRL. Not here, obviously.
3 goals, including a 40-yard nonsense against Colombia, later voted the 5th best World Cup goal ever. The 'Maradona of the Carpathians'. Woof.
We don't say this lightly but we might have to re-draw this. It's actually unacceptable.
🇷🇺Oleg Salenko - 6 goals, including a record 5 (FIVE) goals in 1 match against Cameroon, sharing the Golden Boot despite exiting at the group stage, the only man ever to do so. Brilliantly, these were the only international goals he ever scored.
Later rocked up at Rangers, obvs.
🇧🇬 Here's Yordan Letchkov, diving headerer extraordinaire, looking bloody gorgeous. Scored the winner to knockout the holders, decribed by his own wiki page as having a "moody nature", & later removed from his position as mayor of his hometown on corruption charges.
A character.
Right, let's do this: badly-drawn USA '94 - a thread ✏️🇺🇸 https://t.co/IwbTIvwIMD
