well i for one am glad to see someone other than me, gunny and jay post in the soccer area

i think your very lucky you were there in 1990...it musta been a mad house cause as you know, soccer is the only sport that matters over there....i remember that world cup...the short shorts, the curly mullets...i believe rudy voeller was the star of the west germans back then...gunny can yell at me if i'm wrong...they beat argentina in the finals, redemption for them as argentina and diego maradonna beat them in 1986....the 1990 world cup was also the first time the u.s. qualified since 1950...led by nj born stars tony meola and john harkes
