June 21st A so-called 'War by Proxy' between U.S.A. and Iran confronted at Lyon, must be a memorable contest, because it was a real invigorating and thrilling battle of fighting-spirit where the origin of football game given out simply enough. Against continously dominating brave Americans, Iran self-restrainted firmly looking for just one opportunity to fast counterblow, which was then succeeded eventually at 40min. when Javad Zarincheh sent a fine cross to Hamid Estili whose spectacular header hit precisely to score. While United-of-States men never stopped to rush forward in the second half, though nor getting a reward, and though Iran's swift winger Mehdi Mahdavikia got the second at 84min., they managed to seize a goal by Brian McBride before to hear the final whistle. There were no cloud of said-to-be‘political anxiety’, but a pure bracing entertaining excitement only. Germany revived back brilliantly from 2 goals behind against Yugoslavia
after coming of Lother Matthaus, who then recorded the most appearences
in the history of World Cup. While, at Paris, Argentina beat Jamaica easily
with the hat-trick by Gabriel Batistuta. |
