When I think of the 1990 World Cup, one of the images that I have is of that Cameroon team and the uniforms, the kits, the nickname, the indomitable lions, everything about them.
Obviously, I'm Colombian, so that was a bit of a heartbreak when Rene Iguita decided to try to dribble past Roger Mila.
But that opening game, it's true.
Think about what happened before kickoff.
Diego Maradona juggling the ball arrogantly in front of...
you know, thousands of fans that were chanting his name, you know, remember Italy turned on him, uh, in the final, but in that, you know, he arrived into Italy as a hero.
He was obviously a, a Serie A winner with Napoli and, um,
That game is interesting because when you watch it, the Cameroon team, they felt that they had an advantage on set pieces and dead balls against the Argentines, that they could use their athleticism in the box.
And that's how the goal was produced.
What's interesting is that we think about Argentina getting kicked, Maradona getting kicked, and that play comes from Nestor Lorenzo, who's now the Colombian manager, who will take Colombia to the next World Cup, kicking out
which in today's game, he probably would have been sent off.
But he just kicked out at a Cameroonian player, takes him out, and it's a free kick.
And it ends up in the box.
It gets deflected high up in the air.
And Francois Omanbiik, what a header that goes unnoticed today.
I mean, Nnedi Pompidou, the goalkeeper, fumbles it.
But the height, the way that Francois Omanbiik got up to head that ball, get it down to the ground,
It's just an incredible moment, an incredible World Cup moment.
Yes.
I mean, if you want to see me in tears, you just let me talk about this because this is the type of emotion that I feel.
