Stanley Rous Cup-Part 3 (1987)

Starting from the Third Edition of the Rous Cup in 1987, the organizers decided to make the annual England-Scotland match-up even more interesting by adding a guest.
For the Final three editions of this Tournament a South American guest would be invited to take part.
For this 1987 edition, Brazil became the first ever guests. Brazil had been inactive since the 1986 Mexico World Cup.
Tele Santana had departed from his post and the era of Zico, Socrates and Falcao was over.
Brazil had appointed a new Manager on March 9th 1987, Carlos Alberto Silva. His task was to build a younger side to compete in the following year’s Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea.
Carlos Alberto Silva would select a younger squad with this in mind and also out of necessity. Some European teams were reluctant to release their Brazilian players for this Tour, while even some Brazilian clubs followed suit as they had commitments of their own.
From C.A. Silva’s initial call –ups, up to nine players were withdrawn within days.
Flamengo, Guarani and Sao Paulo announced they would not release their players.  Ze Carlos, Jorginho, Bebeto (all three from Flamengo), Ricardo Rocha, Joao Paulo  (both from Guarani) and Careca, Luis Muller, Silas, Nelsinho (all four from Sao Paulo) were all held back with their clubs.
For the Napoli-bound Sao Paulo striker Careca, his reason to drop out was given as fatigue.
After negotiations, the Brazil management were to able to obtain the release of Guarani and Sao Paulo players (except Careca), but Flamengo still refused to release its players.
Scotland had appointed Andy Roxburgh as Manager following the 1986 World Cup. However, the team was struggling especially in finding the net.
The team was more or less eliminated from its UEFA European Championship Group.
In contrast, England were flying high in their qualifying Group with Gary Lineker picking up where he had left off in the previous year’s World Cup and scoring goals consistently.
Bobby Robson had built up a solid team and to many believed England were already one of the favorites for the following year’s Euros to be held in West Germany.

The Tournament kicked off at Wembley on May 19th, 1987, with England hosting the new-look Brazil.
For Brazil seven players were making their International debuts: Geraldao, Ricardo Rocha, Nelsinho, Douglas, Edu Marangon, Mirandhina and Valdo.
In addition, near the end two future Brazilian Captains would also make their debuts: Carlos Dunga and Rai (the younger brother of Socrates).
Josimar, Silas and Muller had made their debuts for Brazil the previous year but were still relatively young and inexperienced in the International arena.
Josimar had been one of the discoveries of the 1986 World Cup and had scored against Northern Ireland and Poland in the World Cup.
The only veteran in Brazil’s side was goalkeeper Carlos (holdout from 1978, 1982 and 1986 World Cups).
For the English, Bobby Robson handed a debut to Nottingham Forest defender Stuart Pearce, who would be a mainstay of the National Team set up into the next decade.
The English were good in the early going with Peter Reid in midfield and Peter Beardsley impressive in attack.
They took the lead in the 35th minute. Bryan Robson released Beardsley on the left side. His cross was met by Gary Lineker who scored with a diving header into an empty net.
Just a minute later, Brazil tied the match. A long cross from the middle reached Luis Muller on right side. When he crossed, England goalkeeper Peter Shilton was stretched beyond and could only touch the ball and Mirandhina tapped it in.
Brazil were better and more enterprising in second half as they grew in confidence.
The match ended satisfactorily in a tie (1-1) for both sides.
Most Observers marveled at Brazil’s technical display and predicted a bright future with this Group.
Afterwards it would be discovered that Josimar had broken curfew and gone out at night in London, the day prior this match. He would be reprimanded for his action. (This was a sign of things to come as he would lose out a place in the 1990 World Cup side and axed from the Brazil squad for continuous non-discipline off the field).
Brazil’s Mirandhina would cash in on his goalscoring debut and join English Club Newcastle United after the Tournament.

Four days later on May 23rd, the annual England-Scotland took place at Glasgow.
On the same day Brazil took on Republic of Ireland in a friendly at Dublin (and lost 0-1).
For Scotland, the Dundee United contingent were missing as they had been involved in the Second-Leg Final of the UEFA Cup vs. Sweden’s IFK Gothenburg just days earlier.
Andy Roxburgh handed a debut to Leicester City’s Ian Wilson.
England made some changes from the Brazil match. Shilton, Adams, Reid, Barnes and Lineker were rested.
In their place Bobby Robson selected Chris Woods (in goal), Mark Wright, Steve Hodge, Glenn Hoddle and Mark Hateley.
It would a match such poor quality that the crowd jeered the players at halftime. The teams appeared drained after a long season and the match was riddled with series of misplaced passes.
The quality somewhat increased in the second half but not enough and the spectacle remained unimpressive.
The closet either team came to scoring was when Scottish substitute Charlie Nicholas struck the bar.
This marked only the third time that an England and Scotland match had ended scoreless. The only other times had been the first ever match in History in 1872 between the two nations and also in 1970.

Three days later, once again at Glasgow, Scotland hosted Brazil for the last match of this Tournament.
Roxburgh decided to test Andy Goram as goalkeeper. He also started with Jim McInally and Davie Cooper in place of Brian McClair and Ian Wilson.
For Brazil, the only change was that Rai started in place of Silas.
Brazil had grown in confidence during their match with England and would improve further in this match.
They took the lead early in the second half. In the 51st minute, Nelsinho’s cross from the left side, was headed out back to him on the same left wing.
He shot hard from a narrow angle into the box straight at Goram, who could only parry and Rai tapped in the rebound.
In the 60th minute, Brazil doubled its lead. On a counterattack Mirandhina released Valdo on the left wing, who went straight into the box and scored.
Brazil held on and won (2-0) and the Rous Cup itself.
After the whistle the players exchanged jerseys and when Geraldao lifted the trophy he was wearing a Scottish uniform.
This format of inviting a South American participant would continue for the final two editions of the Rous Cup (1988, 1989) as well.

FIFA Confederations Cup-Part Four (1995 King Fahd Cup)

After the first few Artemio Franchi Cups and the 1992 King Fahd Cup, the framework of a future Confederations Cup was taking shape and the 1995 would be the final preliminary step.
While the 1992 event had involved four nations, this one would involve six from the existing Confederations.
Along with the Saudi Arabian hosts, Denmark (1992 Euros Champions), Argentina (1993 Copa America winners), Nigeria (1994 Champions of Africa), Japan (1992 Asian Champions) and Mexico (1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup winners) took part.
For the first time teams were separated in Groups in a round robin format.
All the matches would be staged in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during a one-week period (January 6th through January 13th).
In Group A, the hosts Saudi Arabia were grouped with Denmark and Mexico.
Group B consisted of Argentina along with Nigeria and Japan.
The favorites were needless to say the European and South American champions of Denmark and Argentina.
Argentina had recently appointed Daniel Passarella as National Team manager and he had rejuvenated the squad with the 1996 Olympics and the 1998 World Cup in mind.
The newcomers included the likes of Javier Zanetti, Sebastian Rambert and Roberto Ayala among others. Passarella had nevertheless hung on some of the old guard such as Batistuta and Chamot.
Richard Möller-Nielsen’s Denmark did not include a full strength squad and many key players such as Peter Schmeichel, Lars Olsen, Thomas Helveg, Flemming Povlsen, Kim Vilfort and John Jensen were missing.
The Laudrup brothers (Michael and Laudrup) were present for much needed experience, but most of the squad were up and coming home-based players hoping to make their way into the squad.
The Competition kicked off on January 6th at King Fahd International Stadium (as every match would).
For the first match in Group A, Saudi Arabia took on Mexico. There was some controversy in the Mexican camp. Mexico had just signed a kit deal, which prevented goalkeeper Jorge Campos from wearing his usual fluorescent strip. As a sign of protest he wore all black strip in this match.
Mexico defeated the hosts (2-0) with a brace from Luis García, who had come on in the second half.

In the 65th minute, a corner from the right side by Jesus Ramón Ramírez reached Garcia, unmarked on the far left side, and he scored.
In the 82nd minute, Luis Garcia doubled the lead. On the left side, Garcia Aspe fed Garcia and he scored after a one-two combination with Ignacio Ambriz.
Two days later, on January 8th, Saudi Arabia hosted Denmark and lost once again (0-2).
Denmark included debutants such as Jacob Laursen, Michael Schjønberg and Bo Hansen (second half substitute).
Michael Laudrup was rested and in his place his younger brother Brian skippered the side.
Brian Laudrup would break the deadlock in the 43rd minute.  He scored after going on a solo run and shooting from a closed angle (as the Saudi defense probably anticipated a cross).
Second half substitute Morten Wieghorst doubled the lead in the 89th minute.
A long throw-in from Michael Schjønberg from the left side reached a Danish teammate who laid it on for Wieghorst to score.

Two days later on January 10th, Denmark and Mexico faced off for Group leadership as both teams had identical records.
Jorge Campos was back to wearing his fluorescent jersey. After his protest in the previous match, the Mexican authorities had relented and authorized Jorge Campos to wear his usual strip.
Michael Laudrup was present to Captain the Danes and Carsten Hemmingsen would make his International debut for Denmark.
Danish goalkeeper Lars Høgh would be replaced due to injury by Mogens Krogh in the 28thminute.
Mexico took the lead in the 70th minute, once again through Luis Garcia. A long cross from inside the Mexican half forced Mogens Krogh to come out of his box. Since he could not use his hands, he headed it out. The loose ball reached Garcia, who lobbed it over Marc Rieper (the last Danish defender).

(January 10, 1995, Confederations Cup, Denmark 1-Mexico 1)


With only two minutes remaining, Denmark leveled the score. Brian Steen-Nielsen crossed from inside the Danish half towards Marc Rieper who headed it across the goal for Peter Rasmussen to head home.
The score remained unchanged and a penalty kick shoot-out was required to determine a winner. Denmark came out winners (4-2) in the shoot-out as both Luis García and Marcelino Bernal missed their attempts.
Denmark advanced to the Final and Mexico were to play in the Third place match.

In Group B, Nigeria and Japan faced one another on January 6th and it was an easy win for the Africans (3-0).
The Nigerians took the lead in the 5th minute. Amunike’s corner from the right side was headed across. Instead of clearing one of the Japanese defenders deflected it into the goalmouth area and Samson Siasia side footed it in.
They doubled the lead in the 54th minute. Oliseh’s free kick from the right side was delivered to the far left post and headed in by Mutu Adepoju.
In the 64th minute, Daniel Amokachi won the ball in his own half and went through to goal and after a one-two with Okocha; he scored from a narrow angle.

Two days later on January 8th, the Japanese faced Argentina and it was an even more of a one sided affair as the Argentines won (5-1).
Sebastian Rambert opened the scoring in the 31st and Ariel Ortega doubled Argentina’s lead just before halftime. Both goals were created by passes from the left side by Jose Antonio Chamot.

A minute after the restart Gabriel Batistuta scored Argentina’s third after he headed in a rebound after Rambert’s shot was only parried by the Japanese goalkeeper Shigetatsu Matsunaga. In the 53rd minute, Jose Antonio Chamot received a ball on the left side and moved up through the center and shot from just inside the box and scored Argentina’s fourth.
Three minutes later, Kazu Miura pulled one goal back for Japan by scoring from low shot on a free kick.
Gabriel Batistuta completed the rout with his second goal in the 85th minute from a penalty kick awarded for a foul on him.
On January 10th, Argentina and Nigeria faced one another with only goal difference separating the two (Argentina: +4, Nigeria: +3).
Despite ending scoreless, it was a match with many chances and Nigeria took the game to the Argentineans in the early going.
Argentina had more chances in the second half but the match was balanced.
The scoreless result allowed Argentina to advance to the Final and Nigeria were to play in the Third place match.

The Third Place and the Final took place on January 13th.
First Nigeria and Mexico stepped onto the field to face one another for the Third Place Match.
Mexico took the lead in the 20th minute. A free kick from the right side into the box was headed and then punched out and reached Ramón Ramírez who volleyed it in from just inside the box.
Nigeria tied the match in the 31st minute. A free kick from the right side was deflected out by the Mexican defense and then lobbed back in the box. Jorge Campos was unable to hold the ball as Amunike was pressuring him. Daniel Amokachi picked up the loose ball and scored into the undefended net.

(January 13, 1995, Confederations Cup, Mexico 1-Nigeria 1)


The score remained unchanged and the match had to be decided with a penalty kick shoot-out. This time Mexican were luckier and won on a (5-4) shoot-out.
After Emmanuel Amunike had missed Nigeria’s fifth attempt, Claudio Suárez scored his attempt and Mexico won.
Afterwards Argentina and Denmark faced one another to decide the winner.
For Argentina, Jorge Ruben Jimenez made his debut for the National team replacing Hugo Perez in the lineup.
Denmark took the lead in the 10th minute through a penalty kick by Michael Laudrup (after Christian Bassedas had fouled Jes Høgh in the box).
Shortly thereafter Michael Laudrup was injured and had to be substituted in the 26thminute by Morten Wieghorst.
New stand-in skipper Brian Laudrup set up Denmark’s second goal in the 74thminute, by crossing from the left side touchline for Peter Rasmussen to score.

Denmark became Champions and won the $1.5 Million US Dollars prize (which came out to roughly $22,000 for each player).
As Runner-ups Argentina collected $1 Million dollars and the rest collected: Mexico ($800,000 US Dollars), Nigeria ($700,000 US Dollars) and Japan and Saudi Arabia ($500,000 US Dollars each).
Mexico’s Luis Garcia was the top goalscorer with three goals and his compatriot Jorge Campos was voted as the best goalkeeper of the Tournament.
In the absence of some regulars, Denmark saw it had a reservoir of talent waiting in the wings.
Danish newcomers such as Jacob Laursen, Michael Schjønberg and Jes Høgh made a strong impression and earned future call-ups.
For Argentina, this was more practice for Passarella to mold his young side.
There were some concerns that the crowds were lower than expected. The fact that the competition was smacked right in the middle of the European season could be one. The Saudis blamed the low turnout due to the fact that the matches were played during the traditional time for school examinations.
Regardless, FIFA had seen enough to include it as part of its roster of Tournaments.
At the conclusion of the Tournament, FIFA President Joao Havelange declared that starting from the 1997 edition, the event would be organized under FIFA.
The FIFA Confederations Cup was officially born and underway.


Note: For each match a ‘Player of the Match’ was selected and awarded $3,000 US Dollars.

Copa America-Part 4 (1991)

The 1991 edition of the Copa America took place in Chile (during their winter) one year after the 1990 World Cup. Following the World Cup a wind of change had taken over the Managerships of the South American Nations, intent on renewing their fortunes. In fact for the participating Nations of Conmebol only Ecuador had still retained its Manager from the 1989 Edition (The Yugoslav Dusan Draskovic).
Since July was the rainy season in Chile, they had originally suggested the Tournament to be staged in August or September but Conmebol refused this request.

For the host Nation Chile, this Copa America took special significance and they had much riding on it. Chile were barred from participating in the 1994 World Cup (following the firecracker incident at Rio involving goalkeeper and Captain Roberto Rojas).
Therefore, their objective was two-fold. First, this would be their only competitive Tournament for many years to come and they had to make a positive impression especially in front of the home fans.
The second (more ambitious) objective was to win this Tournament with the hope that FIFA might reverse its decision. They were hoping with a victory, FIFA would find it hard to ban the best Team in South America from the World Cup. Former star Carlos Caszely was one of the prominent people hoping for this outcome.
Following the departure of Orlando Aravena following the Rio incident, former Colo Colo Manager Arturo Salah was handed the reins on September 1990.

He had a reputation of being a strict disciplinarian with no sense of humor.
Shortly before the Tournament, Chilean Club Colo Colo had been victorious in the Copa Libertadores and that only increased expectations.
Along with the Colo Colo contingent, Salah had a number of foreign-based players to call upon none more lethal than the Sevilla based Ivan Zamorano and others such as Hugo Rubio (St Gallen), Jaime Vera (OFI Crete) and Ivo Basay (Necaxa).
For Brazil as well much had changed since the 1989 triumph. Sebastião Lazaroni had left his post and was managing in Italy (in Fiorentina) amid all the predictable criticism following Brazil’s elimination at the World Cup.
The man assigned to lead Brazil to new glories was former AS Roma midfielder and 1982 World Cup standout Paulo Roberto Falcao.

He had selected many home-based players in his attempt to win back the public, but his results had mostly been mediocre.
He was attempting to build a team around new Captain and Corinthians midfielder Jose Neto.
Many of the foreign-based players were discarded and or refused to participate.
These included the likes of Antonio Careca (Napoli), Romario (PSV Eindhoven) and Julio Cesar (Juventus).
There was a specter of negativity around the Brazil side following the disappointment of the World Cup with many negative stories regarding the behavior and lack of professionalism of some of the players involved during the World Cup.
As a result, the Brazilian players were forced by their Federation to sign a written declaration for a set of directives, such as conduct themselves with ‘exemplary behavior’, wake and sleep at the designated hours and eat whatever told and ask permission for interviews and no meetings with agents/impresarios.
On July 3rd, just days before the start of the Tournament, the 1989 Copa America star Bebeto walked out of the team as he was fed up with Falcao, who would not guarantee him a position in the Team. Furthermore, Bebeto accused Falcao of treating him like a newcomer instead of an established player that he had become.
In the end, Falcao took along only a handful of players from abroad: goalkeeper Claudio Taffarel (Parma), Iomar Mazinho (Lecce and on his way to Fiorentina), Claudio Branco (Genoa) and Joao Paulo (Bari).

After eight years of Carlos Bilardo, Argentina’s man in charge was Alfio Basile. In contrast to his predecessor, Basile advocated a more attacking adventurous style of play.
He had built a solid team from scratch in friendlies with many newcomers such as Dario Franco, Nestor Craviotto, Claudio Garcia, Leonardo Astrada and Diego Simeone among others.
The squad had recently been on Tour in Europe and had participated in the ‘England Challenge Cup’ and left a positive impression. (for more detail, see: http://soccernostalgia.blogspot.com/2016/06/tournaments-part-5-england-challenge.html)
From the old guard, he maintained, Argentina’s hero of 1990 World Cup goalkeeper Sergio Goyoechea, defender Oscar Ruggeri and Claudio Caniggia.
He would be without Diego Maradona, who just months earlier, had been suspended for a failing a Drug Test in the Italian Serie A. In any case it would have been doubtful that he would have participated. Basile had appointed Oscar Ruggeri as Captain and he would remain so during Maradona’s lengthy absence.
There were only two foreign-based players in Basile’s squad: Claudio Caniggia (Atalanta) and Diego Simeone (Pisa).
The new star of the team was Boca Juniors’ Diego Latorre. He was already being groomed as the ‘next Diego’ and was set to join Fiorentina in the upcoming season (more on that later…).

Colombia had also parted ways with their Manager Francisco Maturana following the 1990 World Cup.
Maturana’s former Assistant, Hernan Dario Gomez, was the first to be approached but he refused, choosing to stay with Atletico Nacional Medellin.
The Colombian Federation President Leon Londono then short listed three candidates for the vacant position: Gabriel Ochoa, Diego Unama and Luis Augusto Garcia.
Luis Augusto Garcia was appointed to build up on the success of recent years (It was said that Maturana himself preferred Garcia).
The squad was relatively intact. The squad was built around the talents of Carlos Valderrama in midfield and the eccentricities of goalkeeper Rene Higuita. Other key players such as Leonel Alvarez, Freddy Rincon and Andres Escobar were still integral parts of the National Team set-up.
Before Colombia’s departure, Rene Higuita had visited Drug Kingpin Pablo Escobar in prison. When asked about it, Higuita responded that he wanted to visit ‘all prisoners’.

For Uruguay, the change of Regime brought problems with it. The new Manager Luis Cubilla had clashed with the foreign-based players.
The foreign-based stars such as Enzo Francescolli, Carlos Aguilera, Ruben Sosa and Daniel Fonseca and others would boycott the National Team as a result. This self-imposed exile would only be resolved in 1993.
In the meantime, Cubilla had selected and insisted upon a home-based squad. He even cut Ruben Pereira from his squad after the player had signed with Italian side Cremonese.
Cubilla had also wanted Ruben da Silva (River plate), but he was also on the verge of signing for Cremonese, he called up Gustavo Ferreira instead.
It would be a young and inexperienced Uruguay side that would participate.

Paraguay, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela rounded out the participants.
Ecuador had wanted to play a friendly while in Chile; however, Conmebol refused all friendlies five days before the competition.
Uruguay and Venezuela were the only nations without any foreign-based players.
The format of the 1991 Copa was identical to the 1989 Edition.  The ten teams would be separated in two Groups of five teams. They would play one another in a round-robin format. The top two teams in each Group would then be placed in a Final Group of four teams (once again round-robin) and the winner would be decided on points.

In Group A, Chile were grouped with Argentina, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela. The matches would take place in Santiago’s Estadio Nacional and Concepción’s Estadio Regional.
The first round of matches in this Group took place on July 6th at Santiago’s Estadio Nacional.
Chile hosted Venezuela and comfortably defeated them (2-0). The goals were scored with two headers by Eduardo Vilches (22nd minute) and Ivan Zamorano (34th minute).
Many felt Chile should have scored more goals and there were criticisms of Chilean Manager Arturo Salah for not entering Ivo Basay as a third striker to partner Rubio and Zamorano.
Ruben Espinoza was sent off near the end and would be suspended from Chile’s next matches in the Group.

Afterwards, Paraguay faced Peru and defeated them (1-0). Luis Monzon scored the winner in the 21st minute.
Peru did have chances and many felt a tie would have been a fairer result.

The next round of matches in the Group was two days later on July 8th. At Concepción’s Estadio Regional, Chile hosted Peru and showed more of an attacking poise in defeating them (4-2).
Hugo Rubio opened the scoring in the 16th minute, taking advantage of an error in Peru’s marking.
Jorge Contreras doubled the lead in the 51st minute from the penalty spot.
Peru pulled a goal back in the 59th minute through 18-year old Flavio Maestri.
Maestri’s Copa America would be over just over twenty minutes later after he was injured (and replaced by Cesar Eduardo Rodríguez).
Just two minutes later, Chile scored their third. Ivan Zamorano headed in a header from a cross from the right.
Jose Del Solar scored another goal Peru in the 71st minute, but three minutes later Chile scored their fourth once again through Zamorano, heading in a cross from the right side.

On the same day at Santiago’s Estadio Nacional, Argentina made its debut in the Copa America.
Argentina were missing defender Carlos Enrique. He had been sent off in Argentina’s friendly vs. Brazil on June 27th, 1991 (1-1 tie) and was suspended for Argentina’s matches vs. Venezuela and Chile.
Néstor Oscar Craviotto would start in his place.
It was in this friendly that Gabriel Batistuta had made his debut for Argentina.
In this match vs. Venezuela (his second cap) a new star would be born as Batistuta scored two goals in the (3-0) win.
He opened the scoring in the 28th minute.
Argentina doubled the lead in the 43rd minute with a header by Claudio Caniggia.
Batistuta scored Argentina’s third on a penalty kick in the 50th minute.
While Batistuta had taken advantage of the opportunity provided to him, the same could not be said of his Boca Juniors partner Diego Latorre.
The man who was hyped to lead the new Argentina revival was a shadow of his former self and struggled (Basile would later state that he was exhausted after a long season).
Latorre was replaced in the 79th minute by Leonardo Adrián Rodríguez. Rodriguez, by his own admission, had not expected to see much action in this Copa, but he would remain and star in the side and be one of the surprises of this Copa along with Batistuta.
Batistua’s form had been so impressive that there were already reports of a link to Serie A’s Hellas Verona (in the end he went elsewhere..).

That same day, the big clash of the Group place at Estadio Nacional as Chile hosted Argentina.
It was a closely fought match that was only decided with less than ten minutes remaining.
Batistuta scored for the second match in a row to earn Argentina an important victory.
Once again Arturo Salah’s reluctance to include three strikers was criticized, as the public were clamoring for Patricio Yanez.
Ivan Zamorano was ineffective as Ruggeri virtually marked him out of the game.
Néstor Oscar Craviotto once again deputized for Carlos Enrique and just like the previous match Rodriguez replaced Latorre (this time at the start of the second half).
This was Latorre’s last chance and from then on Rodriguez would be the starter.

On the same day at Concepción, the new confident Argentina displayed one of its best performances in defeating Paraguay (4-1).
Argentina now had Carlos Enrique back in defense and Leonel Rodriguez was a starter.

The final round of matches in the Group took place two days later on July 14th.
Argentina having already qualified rested most of its first teamers and included many of its reserves against Peru.
This gave a chance for the last outing of Diego Latorre with the National Team (he captained the side in Ruggeri’s absence).
In addition to Latorre, other players to get a rare chance to play were substitute goalkeeper Alejandro Lanari (his debut), Ricardo Altamirano, Fernando  Gamboa, Gustavo Zapata, Blas Giunta, Antonio Mohamed, Claudio Garcia and Ramon Medina Bello.
Latorre gave Argentina the lead by scoring in the third minute; Peru tied the match in the 35th minute through a penalty kick by Orlando Yáñez.
Argentina took the lead once more in the 51st minute through a Nestor Craviotto header and scored their third six minutes later through Claudio Garcia.
Jorge Hirano pulled another goal back for Peru, taking advantage of a poor back pass by Craviotto.
Argentina won its fourth straight matches in the Group.

The Chilean hosts had to defeat Paraguay in their Final match to advance to the Final round.
For the first time Arturo Salah lined up three strikers to achieve this goal.
The Chileans played one of their finest matches and deservedly defeated the Paraguayans (4-0).
Hugo Rubio (12th minute) and Ivan Zamorano (15th) scored early to get Chile on their way. Fabian Estay (63rd minute) and Jaime Vera (68th minute) completed the rout.

On the same day, in an upset, Colombia defeated Brazil (2-0) to increase the pressure on Paulo Roberto Falcao.
Anthony de Avila gave Colombia the lead in the 35th minute and Arnold Iguaran doubled the lead in the 66th minute. Carlos Valderrama was instrumental in both goals as the more technical Colombians outplayed the more physical Brazilians.
Neto’s influence in Brazil’s game was waning and he was substituted in the second half by Luiz Henrique.
In the post match Press conference; Brazilian journalists started quarrelling with Falcao and the players. This led Falcao to ban the Brazilian Press from post-match conferences.

Following Uruguay’s win, Brazil needed to win by two clear goals to advance.
Brazil took the lead in the 8th minute through Mazinho II (he would be sent off just 12 minutes later).
Ecuador tied the score in the 12th minute through Carlos Muñoz.

The Final Group matches were all played at Santiago’s Estadio Nacional.
The hosts Chile along with traditional powers Brazil and Argentina made it along Colombia.
On July 17th, Brazil and Argentina faced one another in the most ill tempered match of the Tournament that saw five sending offs.
Many felt this was anger carried over form the friendly between the Nations on June 27th that had also been as violent.
Claudio Caniggia and Iomar Mazinho (31st minute) and Marcio Santos and Carlos Enrique (61st minute) were given their marching orders.
Later Brazil’s Careca III was sent off as well in the 77th minute (….after coming on as a substitute in the 75th minute).

Afterwards, Branco stated that Ruggeri was more of a boxer than a footballer.
Caniggia complained that he got hit and kicked all the time and when he hit back once he got sent off.
Argentina Manager Alfio Basile felt the attacks on his players were unjustified. He said his players were no angels but he was sick and tired of always being blamed for the violence.
Amidst the violence, Leonel Rodriguez once again gave a masterful performance and created all three goals.
Dario Franco scored twice on headers. His first goal was after 40 seconds and was the fastest goal of these games.
Branco tied the match for Brazil with yet another free kick in the 6thminute.
Dario Franco scored his second on a header in the 40th minute and Batistuta scored his fifth goal of the Tournament in the 46th minute (also on a header).
Joao Paulo pulled one goal back for Brazil in the 53rd minute.
Neither side was satisfied with the officiating and on the following day (July 18th), Brazil submitted a formal protest about Paraguayan Referee Carlos Maciel for his handling of their match with Argentina.
There had been a conspiracy theory that Conmebol wanted players from Chile’s rivals to be sent off to ease the path for the hosts to win.
According to this theory, Conmebol wanted Chile to be pardoned to participate in the 1994 World Cup qualifiers.
As a result, Conmebol President, the Paraguayan Nicolas Leoz had ‘given’ instructions to Paraguayan Referee Carlos Maciel.
On the following day, According to Argentina Captain Oscar Ruggeri (his nose bandaged after being punched by Careca III), Maciel had confided him that he had received instructions from above. Carlos Maciel denied Ruggeri’s claims.
The Paraguayan linesman Jose Escobar was also booed during the match and called “ladron” (thief) because of the way he had officiated the Brazil –Ecuador (by ‘allowing’ Brazil to score near the end for a better goal average).
In the end, Caniggia and Mazinho were suspended for one match and Carlos Enrique for three matches. Chileans felt that the suspensions of Caniggia and Mazinho were not severe enough, since Chile’s Ruben Espinoza had been suspended for more matches after his sending off in the first round.
On the same day, Chile took on Colombia and missed its chance to keep pace.
In contrast to their impressive display vs. Paraguay, Chile were poor and unimaginative vs. Colombia.
Chile missed the chance to go ahead in the 31st minute, as Rene Higuita saved Ivan Zamorano’s penalty kick.
Minutes later in the 37th minute, Colombia took the lead through Arnoldo Iguaran.
Chile leveled the score through Zamorano in the 74th minute.

The next round of matches was two days later on July 19th as Chile hosted Argentina and Brazil took on Colombia.
Both matches were played under heavy rain that affected the players’ form and conditions.
Argentina drafted Ricardo Altamirano and Ramon Medina Bello to cover for the suspended duo: Carlos Enrique and Claudio Caniggia.
Chile had Ruben Espinoza back from suspension in place of Gabriel Mendoza.
The match ended in a scoreless tie that served Argentina better as Chile needed to win to have any chance of lifting the Copa.
The hosts were further hampered by the sending off of Patricio Yanez in the 41stminute after a foul on Sergio Vazquez. The playing conditions were so appalling that according to Alfio Basile the match was “closer to water polo than football”.

In the Colombia-Brazil match, the rain would be detrimental to Colombia’s ‘Toque’ style and Brazil took advantage.
Brazil took the lead through Renato Gaucho in the 29th minute. The goal and the weather conditions forced Colombia to abandon its style and to play in a more British style that they were unaccustomed to.
Brazil scored their second on a penalty kick by Branco in the 61st minute.
Afterwards, Carlos Valderrama declared that playing under those conditions was a scandal. He added that once again for the authorities, financial interests had taken precedence over the spectacle.
Colombia’s disappointed Coach Luis Augusto Garcia almost came to blows with a persistent Chilean journalist.

The final round of matches took place two days later on July 21st.
First Chile hosted Brazil, knowing that even a victory might not be enough as Argentina had a one-point advantage.
In the end Brazil won (2-0) with two headers from corner kicks by Mazinho II (8thminute) and Luiz Henrique (56th minute).
In the second half, Arturo Salah had sent on Ivo Basay as an extra attacker but it did not help.
Brazil had yet another player sent off (this time Branco in the 69thminute).

Argentina started their match with Colombia with the advantage of the extra point and the knowledge of the Chile-Brazil result.
In any case, there was virtually no suspense after 20 minutes as Argentina had raced to a two-goal lead and once again with Rodriguez in the middle of it all.
Diego Simeone headed in Argentina’s fist goal in the 11th minute and Gabriel Batistuta scored in the 19th minute to double Argentina’s lead.
This was Batistuta’s sixth goal and he ended as the top goalscorer of the Copa America.
Anthony de Avila pulled one goal back for Colombia in the 70th minute, but Argentina were never in danger and deservedly won their first Copa America in 32 years (the last victory was in 1959).
Argentina Captain Oscar Ruggeri joined a select group of players to have won the World Cup as well as the Copa America.
According to Basile, Argentina were deserved winners as they had played against every possible style of football and won in tough, balanced games and gaining 13 out of 14 points in the process.
No one could argue with his assessment as the best team had won.

By all accounts, the 1991 Copa America was regarded to be successful.
As far as the coverage, it was estimated that over 1800 Journalists had covered the matches.
The matches had been telecast to 62 Nations. 
The attendance at the matches and the spectacle on the pitch had also been positive.
An estimated 450,000 fans had watched the matches with $2.4 Million Dollars in gate receipts. Given expenses of $2 Million Dollars, the profit was in the region of $400,000 (in some sources it was estimated $500,000).
This was the largest profit in the history of the Tournament (30% of this profit was kept by Chile and the rest went to Conmebol).
Brazilian firm Traffic had paid $1.7 million US Dollars for Television rights.  Chilean organizers kept 10%, and after expenses, the rest of the money was used for prize money: Argentina ($240,000), Brazil ($200,000), Chile ($160,000), Colombia ($130,000) and the rest of the Nations received $100,000 each.

There were some minor complaints. The Police treatment of some fans was questioned. Some felt the Press boxes were somewhat deficient. In addition live of transmission of matches blocked and brought to a stand still the cities where the match was being played at. The populace in the streets would disperse to watch the match on Television.
But in general, Chile was credited for its otherwise good organization of the Tournament. It had been a sharp improvement from the 1987 and 1989 Editions.
On the playing front, Argentina’s positive approach after nearly a decade of rugged defensive tactics was a breath of fresh air.
A new global star was born. Gabriel Batistuta would go on and write some of the best pages in the history of the game.
This Copa had shown that Argentina had a large young reservoir of talent to call upon.
Batistuta would be on his way to Fiorentina, ahead of unlucky teammate Latorre, who stayed back for another year at Boca Juniors (loaned back).
His poor performance in the Copa had given the Italians food for fought and they had instead snapped up Batistuta that many had never heard of before the competition.
Argentina’s other star of the Tournament Leonel Rodriguez would also be on his way to Europe. Bernard Tapie’s Olympique Marseille signed him and immediately loaned him to French club Toulon.
The Chilean hosts also gave a fair account of themselves despite failing somewhat short of their objectives.
Their pleas to participate in the 1994 World Cup qualifiers fell on death ears and they could only forward to the next Copa America in 1993.
In addition to the confirmation of Zamorano’s talent, the hosts’ new discoveries included Fabian Estay and Gabriel Mendoza.
Other new discoveries included the Uruguayan pair of Edgar Borges and Marcelo Fracchia, the Bolivian Marco Antonio Etcheverry, Peru’s Jose Del Solar and Percy Olivares and Venezuela’s Stalin Rivas.
Brazil were the greatest disappointment and still appeared to be mired in the post-elimination depression from the last World Cup.
Their discipline also came into question as a record number of five players were sent off in the Copa (three in the violent clash with Argentina).
Ultimately Neto followed his 1989 predecessor Geovani as Brazil’s would-be superstar that eventually crashed.

The only bright spots for Brazil were Joao Paulo and to some extent Mazinho, Ricardo Rocha and Branco.
Falcao’s sacking appeared imminent despite his public intention to remain at his post. However, before the Final Group phase had been played, a Brazilian Official had been heard saying that Falcao would be on his way out irrespective of the Final position.
On August 20th, 1991, Falcao was sacked as national team manager.
This would be the last Copa America with this Group format.  For the 1993 Edition, Conmebol decided to include two guests from Concacaf (USA and Mexico) to liven up the competition (and of course more revenue).
The format of the 1993 Edition would be more traditional with a first phase of round robin groups followed by the Quarterfinals, Semifinals and a Final.

National Team Managers-Part Four (Luis ‘Suarez’ Miramontes (1988/1991))-Part 1 (1988)

Luis ‘Suarez’ Miramontes: Spain National Team Manager (1988/1991)

As a player, Luis Suarez had been one of the greatest players of his Generation. He was born on May 2nd, 1935 at La Coruña. It was there that he made his debut for Deportivo La Coruña (1953/54). After a year stint at Espana Industrial (1954/55), he joined Barcelona in 1955 and in the next six years he would establish himself as one of the greatest Spanish players of his day, despite the European dominance of Alfredo Di Stefano’s Real Madrid. He would be awarded France Football’s Ballon d’Or in 1960, thus becoming the first Spanish-born player (and remains to date the only one) to win the prestigious award. His brilliance at Barcelona earned him a transfer to Italy’s Internazionale Milano in 1961. It was there that he would be instrumental in the greatest Era of the club’s history that led to Champions Cup triumphs in 1964 and 1965. He would leave Inter in 1970 to join Sampdoria to play out his playing career until 1973.
He took up club Management but had mostly short stints: Inter (1975), Sampdoria (1975), SPAL (1975/76), Como (1976/77), Cagliari (1977/78) and Deportivo La Coruña (1978/79).
In 1980, he started working for the Spanish Federation by taking charge of the Under-21 side. He would remain in the post for the next eight years and help develop many of the players that he would eventually manage at Senior level.
His greatest achievement was winning the Under-21 European Championship title vs. Italy in 1986.

(Luis Suarez)


In the summer of 1988, the Spanish Federation appointed Luis Suarez as its new National Team Manager replacing the legendary Miguel Munoz.
Spain had just wrapped up a disappointing Euros in West Germany where they had lost two of their three matches.
He was tasked with the 1990 World Cup qualification by rebuilding a side that had ran out of steam. He was known affectionately as ‘Luisito’ by the Press and regarded as a man open to dialogue with players. Upon taking over he also had to quell the unending internal rivalry and animosity between Real Madrid and Barcelona players that would constantly threaten to derail the National Team’s interests.
He was faced with the International retirements of key veterans such as Jose Antonio Camacho, Victor, Ricardo Gallego and Rafael Gordillo.
He would build his new side with the remnants of the old guard plus some newcomers.
He took charge at a time when Real Madrid’s ‘El Quinta del Buitre’ was the rage and the backbone of the team would comprise of these Real Madrid stars.
He would appoint Emilio Butragueno (‘El Buitre’) as his new Captain.  Manuel Sanchis in defense, and Michel and Martin Vazquez would lead in midfield.

(Luis Suarez)

Barcelona goalkeeper Andoni Zubizaretta would remain untouchable in the net, while younger Barça midfielder Roberto would now be given a prominent role.
One of the key players of the 1986 triumph, Athletic Bilbao defender Genar Andrinua had broken through in the National Team towards the tail end of Miguel Munoz’s reign and Suarez would keep faith with in the center of defense.
He elevated another 1986 graduate, Juan Abladeno as the understudy to Andoni Goicoecthea replacing Real Madrid’s Paco Buyo.
Barcelona had gone on a spending spree that summer and recruited Internationals such as Julio Salinas and Eusebio Sacristan (another 1986 graduate) of Atletico Madrid and the Real Sociedad trio of Jose Maria Bakero, Aitor Beguitistain and Lopez Rekarte. The opportunities for these players, who for the most part were on the fringes of Miguel Munoz’s main side appeared to  increase under the new management of Suarez.

Year 1988
Luis Suarez’s first match in charge of Spain was a Friendly at Oviedo vs. an emerging Yugoslavia side on September 14th, 1988.
He handed an International debut start to Julio Salinas’ brother Patxi of Bilbao.
In the second half, he handed more debuts to Quique Flores (1986 graduate), as well as Francisco Ferreira and Nando (of Valencia).
Most of these newcomers would soon disappear without a trace except Quique Flores, ho would soon become an integral part of Suarez’s new defensive line.
Michel gave Spain the lead in the first half (25th minute). In the second half, Yugoslavia struck back (Mehmet Bazdarevic 46th minute and Borislav Cvetkovic 84thminute) as Suarez introduced many substitutes.

One of Suarez’ starting choices Miguel Soler (another new recruit for Barcelona) would be out of Suarez’s plans (Although he would get another cap in 1991 under Suarez).
Spain’s next match would also be a Friendly (Copa Hispanidad) to celebrate the Spanish Federation’s 75thAnniversary on October 12th, 1988. Spain’s opponents for this match at Sevilla would be Diego Maradona’s Argentina.
The absence of Miguel Chendo allowed Suarez to start Quique Flores in defense. Barcelona’s Lopez Rekarte was also tried out in defense (for the last time, as he would also soon be discarded). In the second half, Suarez would hand an International debut to Sevilla defender Manuel Jimenez.
His integration would be a success and he would remain as a key player in Luis Suarez’s defensive line.
In the match, Spain took a quick lead through an Emilio Butragueno strike in the 7th minute (which was vehemently protested by the Argentines as being offside). Butragueno scored another goal soon thereafter (14th minute) that was called off due to an infraction.
Argentina tied the match just before halftime by Claudio Caniggia and a draw seemed a fair result.

After two friendlies, Spain’s 1990 World Cup qualifiers were underway. On November 16th, 1988, Spain hosted their most dangerous opponent in the Group: Jackie Charlton’s Republic of Ireland. The Irish had surprised most observers by qualifying for the last Euros and had ambitions to qualify for their first ever World Cup Finals.
They had a number of injuries, which favored the Spain as the host team.
Suarez had now established Quique and Jimenez (first start) in defense along with Sanchis and Andrinua.
He surprisingly gave an International debut to Real Sociedad’s Alberto Gorriz at the age of 30. He would be another one of the newcomers who adapted to Suarez’s tactics and would remain in the squad (at least until 1990).
He also handed another debut late in the match to another one of his 1986 graduates, defender Jesus Solana of Real Madrid (this would be his sole appearance in a Spanish shirt).

However, the most important debutant that day would be Atletico Madrid forward Manolo. He would undoubtedly be the most successful of debutants in the Suarez era.
He would score in his International debut in the 53rd minute. Manolo would later score another goal in the 62nd minute that was called off before Emilio Butragueno scored the second in the 65th minute to give Spain an important (2-0) morale-boosting win over their likeliest closest rival in the Group.
Sevilla’s Ramon Vasquez would later replace Manolo in the match, but he would not make an impact and slowly disappear from Suarez’s plans.
Confident after their win over Ireland, they faced the other Ireland (Northern) in the following month at Sevilla for their second qualifier on December 21st, 1988.
The match would be a total rout as Northern Ireland were no match for the Spanish and lost (0-4) in a match that included two own goals by the Irish (First and fourth goals).
The first was due to an erroneous backpass by the Northern Irish defender Anton Rogan (30th minute) and the other was a shot by Roberto that was deflected in by John McClelland (64th minute). In between Emilio Butragueno scored (55th minute), as did Michel from the spot (61stminute).
Barcelona defender Ricardo Serna made his International debut as a second half substitute.

Spain ended the year the following week (December 28th) by defeating club side Celta Vigo (2-1) with goals by Roberto (18th Minute) and Martin Vazquez (26th minute) with Celta replying through Amarildo (59thminute, penalty kick).
Suarez fielded two teams in each half and tried out many new players, some of which would not earn official caps (Lemos, Mino, Orejuela, Loren, Villa) and some others who would later be capped (Fernando Giner, Fernando Hierro, Rafa Paz, Minguela, Juan Carlos).

One of the selected players, Real Sociedad’s Juan Larrañaga had earned one cap earlier in the year under Miguel Munoz but would not earn any Official caps under Suarez.

Year 1989
By the start of his first full year, Luis Suarez had settled on a squad. Andoni Zubizaretta was the first name on the teamsheet (and would remain so for the another decade).
The center defense comprised of Manuel Sanchis and Genar Andrinua. The right back position appeared to be that of Quique Flores, however, Miguel Chendo was not out of the fight. Manuel Jimenez also appeared to have hold on the other outside back spot.
Michel, Roberto and Rafael Martin Vazquez were set for their spots in midfield.
Emilio Butragueno along with Manolo were the preferred striking duo.
Spain picked up its World Cup qualifying schedule as early as January, when they traveled to Valetta to face Malta on January 22nd, 1989.
Spain were comfortable winners (2-0) but it came at a cost as Manuel Sanchis was sent off.
Michel had given Spain the lead on a penalty kick in the 16th minute and Aitor Beguiristain had doubled the lead in the 51st minute.
However, Sanchis’ second yellow card in the 75th minute left Spain, a man short, but were never really troubled.
A few weeks, they made another trip abroad to Belfast to face Northern Ireland for their fourth qualifier.
Miguel Chendo was back in the squad as right back and Ricardo Serna started as cover for the suspended Sanchis.
Alberto Gorriz was in the lineup as an extra defensive cover. Suarez decided to start with Jose Maria Bakero instead of the in-form Manolo.
This would be Bakero’s last match for Spain that year, as he would miss many months after a terrible injury.
Spain took an early lead in the 3rd minute after Genar Andrinua headed in a corner. Afterwards, the Irish attacked in the hopes of getting as a result.
They continued to attack in the second half but Spain held firm.
Luis Suarez was absolutely on the edge and nervous and shouted tactical directions to his defense from the touchline to such an extent that the West German Referee Dieter Pauly sent him off in the 73rd minute.

Manolo, who had come on as a late substitute, sealed the points for Spain by scoring near the end.
Suarez had called up Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Vicente Biurrun as the substitute goalkeeper, but he would never earn any caps.
Suarez also called up for the first time a player who would become a legend of Spanish Football. Real Valladolid defender Fernando Hierro was called up to the National Team for the first time, though a first official cap was many months (plus a transfer to Real Madrid) away.
This win over Northern Ireland had been the fourth straight qualifying win under Suarez and qualification appeared certain.
Jackie Charlton, the Republic of Ireland Manager, was in the stands and he admitted as much when he said,  “Spain practically qualified”.
Afterwards Suarez stated, “the essential has been done, that is to win, but the team must improve if it wants to be one of the favorites. Spain has enough quality players to impose and dominate. Against the Irish we were not in such a position. We scored early to guarantee our win, but the manner leaves much to be desired”.
Spain were to host Malta at Sevilla on March 23rd, 1989, which was a formality.
Manuel Sanchis was back from suspension, but Luis Suarez would not be on the Spanish bench as he was suspended after his sending off in the previous match. Jesus Pereda stood in for Suarez and as predictably Spain won comfortably with two doubles from Michel and Manolo.

Michel scored from two dead ball situations. In the 38th minute, his indirect free kick was deflected in by the wall and in the 67thminute he scored from his trademark penalty kick.
Afterwards Manolo scored off of two headers in the 73rd and 81stminutes. He had now scored four goals for Spain.

(Manolo celebrating one of his goals, March 23, 1989, World Cup Qualifier, Spain 4-Malta 0)


Another one of Suarez’s 1986 stars, Eloy of Valencia was also back in the fold and came on as a second half substitute.
Despite the win, Suarez was not satisfied. He felt they should have imposed their rhythm more and could have scored more goals.
At this point Spain had virtually qualified and a good result vs. Republic of Ireland at Dublin on April 26th, 1989 would have guaranteed it.
Spain were missing Andrinua in the center of defense and Serna once again filled in as cover.
Luis Suarez was back on the bench, however, the Irish were a different proposition and Spain came down to earth after five straight wins.
Ireland dominated the match throughout, as they desperately needed a result to qualify. In the 16th minute, Michel diverted Ray Houghton’s cross into the net to hand Ireland the victory.

Spain were inactive for nearly five months. The new season started with a friendly vs. Poland at Suarez’s hometown of La Coruña on September 20th, 1989.
Suarez took the opportunity to conduct some experimentations and handed out many debuts. He gave a starting debut to Real Zaragoza winger Francisco Villaroya. He would be a vital cog of the Suarez regime thereafter.

(Miguel Chendo, September 20, 1989, Spain 1-Poland 0)


The other debutants came on as substitutes in the second half. These included substitute goalkeeper Ochotorena, as well as Fernando Hierro (now with Real Madrid) and Minguela.
Spain would be victorious in this friendly (1-0) through a strike by Michel (20th minute).
The qualification phase raeched its final phase with two matches vs. Hungary.
The first encounter was at Budapest on October 11th, 1989.
Spain raced to a two-goal lead by scoring through Julio Salinas (31stminute) and Michel (36th minute).
However, Hungary came back to earn a tie through a double by Attila Pinter (39th, 83rd minutes).
In the second half, Miguel Pardeza earned his International debut. He was the last member of the famous ‘El Quinta del Buitre’ to earn his cap.

Photo From: France Football, Issue 2271, October 17, 1989
(Miguel Chendo, October 11, 1989, World Cup Qualifier, Hungary 2-Spain 2)


Pardeza had failed to establish himself at Real Madrid and had left in 1987 and joined Real Zaragoza and made his breakthrough there.
Despite the draw, Spain had officially qualified for the World Cup. Suarez basked in the glory and was jubilant in his moment of triumph in front of Spanish journalists.
He stated that he had his team more or less mapped out. He did have a number of conerns:  to choose between Chendo and Quique Flores for the right back spot, and the long injury layoff of Bakero. Suarez was confident of Spain’s chances and said, “we are going to Italy with a lot of ambition, at this point only Brazil and West Germany are superior to my team”.

The next and final qualifier vs. Hungary on November 15th, 1989 at Sevilla was inconsequential and was effectively part of Spain’s 1990 World Cup preparations.
Real Zaragoza’s Juanito, Barcelona’s Luis Milla and Valencia’s Fernando earned their International debuts in this match.
Juanito and Fernando celebrated their debuts by both scoring in the comfortable (4-0) win.
Manolo had given Spain the lead (8th minute), before Butragueno headed in Spain’s second (25th minute).
Juanito scored from a free kick (40th minute) and Fernando finished off the scoring (64th minute).

The preparations for the World Cup started with a friendly vs. Switzerland on December 13th, 1989 at Tenerife.
Suarez continued to experiment by handing three more International debuts in the second half to Real Oviedo’s Luis Manuel, Real Valladolid’s Gabriel Moya and Tenerife’s Felipe Minambres.
He also recalled Atletico Madrid pair of Tomas Renones and Francisco Ferreira.
Michel gave Spain the lead with yet another penalty kick in the 43rd minute.
Switzerland tied up the score early in the second half (47th minute) through Adrian Knup.
Felipe Minambres, making his debut in his home stadium, scored Spain’s winner in the 60th minute.

Year 1990
By the start of this World Cup year, Suarez was in a position of strength after winning six out eight matches in the qualification phase.
He had succeeded in his brief to not only qualify Spain but also rejuvenate the squad. He also appeared to have cooled down the Real Madrid/Barcelona tensions within the squad. He was proud of this and felt this serenity offered new opportunities.
He had successfully integrated many new players such as Quique Flores, Jimenez, and Villaroya.

(Luis Suarez)


On the surface he appeared immune to the pressures of the job. In an interview he once stated “why should we exaggerate matters…life is short, must have fun”. The main weakness in his squad seemed to be in the center of defense (Andrinua, Sanchis, Gorriz) that seemed somewhat static.
At the start of this year, Suarez’s future was in question. He was offered a new contract by Federation President Angel Villar (there were rumors of an offer from Barcelona).
The new deal would have taken him through the 1992 Euros and he would concurrently also manage the Olympics squad for the 1992 Barcelona Games.
It was said he wanted a salary on par with Johann Cruyff at Barcelona and John Toshack at Real Madrid.
Spain’s first opponents in their 1990 World Cup preparations were vs. Czechoslovakia on February 21st, 1990 at Alicante.
Spain were generally better and won (1-0) through a Manolo goal (42ndminute).
Suarez once again used the opportunity to experiment and made many substitutions, though, the only debutant was Sevilla’s Rafa Paz.

For their next match, Spain hosted Austria at Malaga. Spain started well and took a two-goal lead in the first half through Manolo (1st minute) and Butragueno (33rd minute).
However, Austria stormed back in the second half after the introduction of Gerhard Rodax, who had a hand in Austria’s three goals. He was involved in Alfred Hortnagel’s (46th minute) and Sevilla-based Toni Polster’s (65th minute) goals.
He himself scored the winner through a brilliant individual effort (89th minute).

For their next match, Spain would play a Foreign player selection from the Spanish League managed by Alfredo Di Stefano.

(Luis Suarez and Alfredo Di Stefano ahead of the Spain match vs. Spanish League XI)


The match was held at Las Palmas on April 11th, 1990.
Players such as Fernando Giner and Pedro were selected and played for Spain, though since this was an unofficial match, they were not considered to be capped (Giner woule eventually earn a full cap). Spain won this match (3-1) with goals by Butragueno (2nd minute) and a double by Felipe Minambres (62nd minute, 78th minute), with Miguel Bossio (83rd minute) replying for the foreigners.
The Foreigners XI squad included the likes of Real Madrid’s Mexican striker Hugo Sanchez and future naturalized Spanish International, the Brazilian Donato Gama.
Spain’s final preparation friendly prior to the World Cup was against Yugoslavia at Ljubljana on May 26th, 1990.
Spain would be victorious (1-0) through a Butragueno goal, but Yugoslavia had been the better team and would prove this just weeks later.
Athletic Bilbao defender Rafael Alkorta would make his International debut as a second half substitute in this match and make the World Cup squad in the last minute.

Spain’s World Cup started on June 13th at Udine vs. Uruguay. It was a closely contested match and ended in a goalless draw. Spain were lucky, as Ruben Sosa’s missed his penalty kick in the 71st minute by shooting over the bar.

Spain’s next match was vs. South Korea on June 17th, 1990 at Udine.
Suarez started with Julio Salinas in place of Manolo. This match would be remembered for Michel’s brilliant hat trick.
He scored the first goal (22nd minute) through a volley from a narrow angle. He scored the second (61st minute) through a curling free kick, after the Koreans had equalized through a free kick themselves (Kwan Hwangbo, 42nd minute).
He completed his hat trick through a brilliant solo goal in the 81st minute.

For their third match in the group, Spain faced Belgium to determine the leadership of the Group on June 21st, 1990 at Verona.
Michel opened the scoring with a penalty kick in the 20th minute. Belgium tied the match through a free kick by Patrick Vervoort (28thminute).
Spain sealed the points and the group leadership with a winning header by Alberto Gorriz (38th minute).
Belgium had a chance to tie the match, but Enzo Scifo struck his penalty kick to the post in the 59th minute.

For the second Round, Spain were paired with Yugoslavia on June 26th, 1990 at Verona.
Despite playing well for most of the match, Spain were overcome by the brilliance of Dragan Stojkovic.
He gave Yugoslavia the lead in the 78th minute. Julio Salinas tied the match for Spain in the 83rd minute and the match went into extra time.
In the extra time (92nd minute), Stojkovic gave Yugoslavia the lead through a free kick and Spain were eliminated.

As the new season started, the focus was on qualifying for the 1992 Euros in Sweden.
Spain were in a Group with Czechoslovakia, an improving France, Iceland and Albania. Only one team could qualify, therefore it was a three horse race between Spain, France and Czechoslovakia.
Spain’s first friendly of the season was vs. Brazil at Gijon on September 12th, 1990. Brazil, with new Manager Paulo Roberto Falcao, were also in a rebuilding process and the team was made up of mostly inexperienced players.
Many changes were in store for Spain as once again Suarez had to rebuild and prepare a team.
The conclusion of the World Cup, had signaled the end for players such as Chendo and Gorriz, as Suarez put it, “had reached the end of their cycle”.
Some others were out of form at this stage of the season and were not called up. Suarez decided to inject some new blood and gave debuts to Barcelona defender Nando, Real Oviedo’s duo of Bango and Carlos and the new revelation of the Spanish season: Juan Goicoetchea of Barcelona.
Nando would effectively be Spain’s new right back in this first phase of the season.
The debutant Carlos opened the scoring in the 9th minute. Fernando doubled the lead (63rd minute) and Michel (89th minute) rounded out the scoring against the lightweight Brazilians.

Afterwards Suarez was pleased with the introduction of the newcomers. He believed he needed to enlarge the player pool to have a chance in the upcoming qualifiers.
Spain’s Euro qualifiers started vs. Iceland on October 10th, 1990 at Sevilla.
Spain had Rafael Martin Vazquez in the squad. In a rare move (for those days) he had left Real Madrid to join the Italian Serie A at Torino.
Butragueno (44th minute) and his new partner up front Carlos (64thminute) gave Spain a two-goal lead. A defensive mistake allowed Siggi Jonsson (66th minute) to pull one goal back for Iceland. Spain held firm to register its first win.
Ernesto Valverde (the current Barcelona Manager) made his International debut (and only cap) by coming on as a substitute.
Despite the win, Suarez was furious with his squad. He had given instructions to his team to attack from the wings, however, in the match the players constantly went through the center that was packed with defenders.

Spain’s next qualifier would be its first trip away from as they faced Czechoslovakia at Prague on November 14th, 1990.
Barcelona’s Guillermo Amor would make his debut for Spain in the second half.
This match would have a profound effect on the rest of Spain and Suarez’s tenure as Manager.
Vaclav Danek gave Czechoslovakia the lead (17th minute). Spain played well and struck twice through Roberto (30th minute) and Carlos (55thminute).
It seemed Spain had the upper hand and were headed for a win when the Czechs struck back.
Vaclav Danek tied the match (69th minute) and Lubomir Moravcik struck the winning goal (77thminute).
It had been a shock defeat for the Spanish that had performed admirably for most of the match.

Photo From: MARCA_1990-11-15
(Rafael Martin Vazquez, November 14, 1990, EC Qualifier, Czechsolovakia 3-Spain 2)


Many felt Suarez’s decision to substitute Carlos in the 61st minute (when Spain were leading 2-1) by Bakero may have been an error and the reason for the loss.
Some others felt that in the second half as Rafael Martin Vazquez got tired, Spain fell apart.
Spain was now under pressure so early in the campaign and this loss would weigh down on the Spanish. Most Spanish players such as Butragueno had no explanation for the defeat. Suarez felt they deserved to have won.
Even Czechoslovakia Manager Milan Macala admitted that Spain were superior in the first half.

Photo From: MARCA_1990-11-15
(Carlos, November 14, 1990, EC Qualifier, Czechsolovakia 3-Spain 2)


Afterwards, Suarez would blame the state of the field, refereeing, the public and the rough play of the Czech defenders.
He did try to see the positive side in the defeat by saying the match was “a great performance. If we play like that we won’t lose another game”.
The media used this defeat to bring forth some controversy. It was said that Spain’s kit man had taken away two away strips (to avoid color clash with Czechoslovakia’s red uniforms). These were the blue and white strips. Apparently, Real Madrid’s trio of Butragueno, Sanchis and Michel insisted on wearing the white jersey (just like Real Madrid). This was despite the fact that the Barcelona contingent outnumbered the Real players.
Another point of contention was the apparent lax attitude of Suarez towards the Torino based Martin Vazquez. He was apparently subject to preferential treatment in terms of training and time off.
But of course a victory would have made all these issues irrelevant.
Spain’s last match and qualifier of the year was vs. Albania at Sevilla on December 19th, 1990 (with France Manager Michel Platini watching in the stands).
Suarez sensing that goal difference might be a key to determine the winner in the Group went all out in this match. He fielded only a three-man defense with Hierro (as Libero) along with Alkorta and Sanchis. Amor started for the first time to organize the midfield with Martin Vazquez.  Up front Spain lined up Butragueno, Carlos and Manolo.
Spain were victorious by the astonishing score of (9-0) with goals by Guillermo Amor (19th minute), Carlos (22nd, 63rd minutes), Emilio Butragueňo (30th, 57th, 66th, 75th minutes), Fernando Hierro (37thminute) and Jose Maria Bakero (86th minute).
Butragueno’s four goals made him with 26 goals, Spain’s all time leading goalscorer as he overtook Alfedo Di Stefano’s record.

Year 1991
Despite the (9-0) win over Albania, Suarez’s position was tenuous and much was riding on Spain’s upcoming qualifier vs. France in Paris in February.
He had been forced to enlarge Spain’s player pool in the beginning of the season due to circumstances.
Regulars such as Julio Salinas, Francisco Villaroya (now at Real Madrid) and Genar Andrinua were struggling and for the time being were discarded.
However, Suarez stated that the door was not closed on them.
While Manolo was playing regularly at Atletico Madrid, Suarez felt it was not in his true position.
The backbone of the team (Zubizaretta, Sanchis, Michel, Martin Vazquez and Butrageuno) was intact.
The influence of Roberto (now back at Valencia) was waning.
Young players like Hierro and Alkorta were now fully integral parts of the team, as were newcomers such as Amor, Goicoetchea and Carlos (up front).

Photo From: France Football, Issue 2342, February 26, 1991
(Luis Suarez, February 20, 1991, EC Qualifier, France 3-Spain 1)


For some time, Spain were having problems in the forward positions.
Julio Salinas had been unable to complement Butragueno, while Manolo and Moya were not real center forwards. Carlos appeared (for the time being) to be the striker that Spain were looking for to fit that mold.
Spain would start out the year with a friendly vs. Iberian neighbors Portugal at Castellon on January 14th, 1991.
Portugal took the lead through Oceano Cruz (37th minute) before Gabriel Moya (71st minute) tied up the match.
This would be Roberto’s last cap for Spain as he would disappear from Suarez’s plans.
Suarez would introduce two new debutants: Osasuna’s Martin Dominguez and Atletico Madrid’s Juan Vizcaino.

The decisive qualifier vs. France took place at Paris on February 20th, 1991.
France had vastly improved under Michel Platini and had won their first three matches in the Group.
Before the match, Suarez believed that this was a ”very important match but do not believe will be decisive, it will be a good match as both teams possess brilliant individuals”.
He had to contend with the unavailability of key midfielder Rafael Martin Vasquez.
Spain started brightly and played well in the early stages. They took the lead through Bakero in the 10th minute.
However, France struck back just minutes later through Franck Sauzee (14th minute).
In the second half, France took the lead through Jean-Pierre Papin (58thminute) and Laurent Blanc (77th minute) completed the scoring for a (3-1) win.

This loss effectively eliminated Spain from the Euros. Spain once again lost despite playing well in stages. In fact France Manager Michel Platini felt that “on pure skill Spain had us beaten”, but it was for naught as Spain lost again away against a close rival. Platini furthermore added that the score did not reflect the difference between the teams and that Spain was one of the best teams that France had played in a while.
Surprisingly, Miguel Soler had earned a recall (after nearly three years) for this match and came on as a substitute.
The last time Spain had failed to qualify for the Finals of a major Tournament was for the 1974 World Cup; they had qualified for all competitions since the 1976 Euros.
Spain were left with two more friendlies to conclude the season.
On March 27th, 1991, they hosted Hungary at Santander. After the loss vs. France, Spain were a demoralized side and this match confirmed it. Suarez used the match to try out most of his squad and used many substitutions. Atletico Madrid’s in-form goalkeeper Abel earned his International debut (though he gave up three goals).
Jozef Kiprich (42nd minute) gave Hungary the lead, before Manolo tied up the match (43rd minute) with a penalty kick.
Emil Lorincz (54th minute) gave Hungary the lead and Jozef Kiprich (75th minute) scored Hungary’s third goal.
Carlos pulled a goal back (83rd minute) before Emil Lorincz scored his second and Hungary’s fourth (88th minute) in a (4-2) away win for them.
Afterwards Suarez assumed responsibility for the defeat for his tactics.
Spain’s next friendly was vs. Romania at Caceres on April 17th, 1991.
Suarez included many new caps in what was to be his final match in charge.
It seemed like an act of desperation to inject new players hoping to get a reaction from his team.
Roberto Solozabal, Juan Carlos, Fernando Giner, Luis Enrique and Ziganda earned their first caps.
The new changes brought no dividends and Spain suffered another loss (0-2).
Spain had been better in the first half, but once Romania scored, the fragile side surrendered.
Romania scored through Ion Timofte (46th minute), Gavril Balint (56th minute) to inflict Suarez’s third straight loss as Manager (twice at home).
It was crisis time and his fate was sealed.
Two days after this match he was summoned by the Federation President Angel Villar to discuss his future.
Spain appeared on a free-fall and it was no surprise when Luis Suarez was dismissed as National Team Manager on April 30th, 1991.

His reign had started on a positive note as he had introduced new players to a team in decline and had re-invigorated their fortunes.
His past as the Under-21 Manager made him familiar with virtually all the players in the system and he knew their qualities.
He inherited the ‘El Quinta del Buitre’ at its height and his demise paralleled the gradual decline of this Generation.
In fact his last season in charge was also when Real Madrid were going through one of their bleakest seasons. This final season also coincided with Barcelona’s rise in dominance domestically, but even the Barceloan contingent could not mask Spain’s slide.
Suarez’s post-1990 World Cup rebuilding forced him to throw in the deep end too many players that perhaps should have been introduced gradually. However, circumstances had forced a hasty introduction.
It must be remembered that for these Euros only one team per Group qualified, perhaps if two teams qualified (as they would from next edition onwards), the planning and reactions would be different and not as dramatic. The loss in the Fall of 1990 vs. Czechoslovakia effectively created a state where the smallest mistake onwards was deadly. In other circumstances perhaps they would have been able to work in more serenity and adjust tactics (play for a draw at Paris, etc..)
Suarez would also be remembered for some of his outbursts, such as his sending off vs. Northern Ireland in 1989. In addition, a seemingly harmless pre-match question in 1990 about his assessment of Tottenham Hotspur’s Spanish midfielder Nayim brought a violent reaction.
He would lament how he did not have more striker options other than Butragueno and Manolo, and the only tall striker at his disposal was Julio Salinas. He believed Spain were limited in that department as most clubs employed foreign strikers such as the Mexican Hugo Sanchez and the Austrian Toni Polster, among others.
He retired from management afterwards but did take interim posts. He stepped into the breach at his former club Internazionale Milano in 1992 and again in 1995, as well as at Albacete in 1994.
After his dismissal Vicente Miera would be appointed as Interim Manager for the (1991/92) season, before Javier Clemente was appointed as Spain’s new Manager in the Fall of 1992.

Soccer at the Olympics-Part 4 (1924-Paris, France)

Looking back, the 1924 Soccer Olympics gave the world a first glimpse of a potential World Cup.
In all 22 Nations participated in the games held in Paris. The bulk of the participants were still European and eight Nations from the old continent made their debuts in the Olympics (Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Irish Free State (pre-cursor to Eire), Poland, Romania and Switzerland).
More continents were represented this time around.

While Egypt represented Africa once more, this would be the first competition to feature a South American participant.
Uruguay’s participation would not only broaden the horizons of the game, it would also revolutionize the game in the near future and in some way give birth to the World Cup in 1930.
Two other new continents represented were North America (USA) and Asia (Turkey).
While the 1920 games had been criticized for their somewhat jingoistic nature, the 1924 series appeared calmer. The only tie to the First World War was the ban of Germany, as France and other Nations still held some resentment.

Russia (or as now called Soviet Union) were still recovering from the War and Revolution, etc.
Denmark and Finland were unable to compete due to financial reasons.
The other two key refusals came from Great Britain and Austria. Both Nations had now fully professional Leagues and the two questioned the status of the other teams.
The Olympics rules for these series considered that a player is Amateur as long as regarded as such by their own Federation.

Some view this as the origin of ‘Shamateurism’, where Nations were given license to arbitrarily field seasoned professional level players in future series (especially Eastern Bloc Communist Nations).
The British and Austrians opposed this idea and demanded all federations to put “all their cards on the table”. Needless to say their demands were not met and so they refused.
The set-up of the Tournament would be more conventional and do away with the ‘Bergvall System’ used in the previous events.
The format would consist of two rounds of direct elimination rounds, followed by Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Final and no Consolation Tournament. The matches would take just over two weeks.
The French hosts had built a new stadium in Paris (Stade Colombes) for these games. However they were not viewed as favorites (especially by the local press).
Even defeating English club West Ham United (2-1) just days prior to the start of the Tournament (May 22nd) did not raise expectations.

Italians were managed by Vittoro Pozzo who would mastermind two World Cup wins in the next decade, but Italy were still growing as a Football Nation and this Tournament would serve as a stepping stone for future glories.
Italy’s squad contained three players who would feature in the 1934 squad. The 1934 goalkeeper and Captain Giampiero Combi and defenders Umberto Caligaris and Virginio Rosetta (though the duo would eventually have marginal roles in the victory as veterans).
As far as Combi, he had made his debut for Italy just months earlier on April 6th, 1924 in a drubbing at Budapest (Hungary 7-Italy 1).
For Pozzo, Combi was still not yet ready to be the starter, that task would be trusted to Giovanni De Prà.
Italy’s main absentee was Luigi Cevenini III, but others such as Adolfo Baloncieri, a veteran of the 1920 series, was still present for Italy along with veteran Renzo De Vecchi. The new star in the making for the Italians was Virgilio Levratto. He was still doing his military service and for the first time Italians were given deferments for Sporting reasons.
A new novelty was the introduction of the Irish Free State (the future Republic of Ireland).
The squad left from the Westland Row Railway Station on Saturday, May 20thheaded for Dun Laoghaire. From there, they traveled by boat to Holyhead and then to London.
The next day, they traveled by train to Dover, then by boat again to Calais and eventually to Paris.
Not much was expected them, but this was a momentous first occasion on the world stage for them.

The Tournament’s First Round of matches took place on May 25th and 26th, 1924.
Sweden were assured of advancing as their opponents Portugal forfeited.
The French hosts, along with defending Champions Belgium, Bulgaria, Egypt, the Irish Free State, Latvia, Luxembourg, Holland and Romania had already received a bye into the next round.
On May 25th, Italy and Spain faced off at Paris’ Stade Colombes under rainy conditions. The Spanish were represented by veterans from the 1920 event: the ever-impressive Ricardo Zamora in goal, along with Pedro Vallana and Jose Samitier.
Pasarin and Larraza would make their debuts for Spain.
For the Italians, Mario Magnozzi, and Virgilio Levratto made their debuts for the National Team. Pozzo also decided to rest Renzo de Vecchi and Italy started in defense with the Rosetta-Caligaris combination.
Spain started the match better, before Italy gradually improved. The French Referee Marcel Slawick on two occasions overlooked Italian handballs in the box.
The Spanish debutant Larraza was sent off in the 55th minute but Spain still persisted.
Italy scored the winner in the 84th minute. Adolfo Baloncieri’s cross intended for Magnozzi was intercepted by Vallana who scored an own goal.

At Paris’ Stade Pershing, the debutants Switzerland and Lithuania faced each other (in a double header with USA-Estonia match)
It was no contest as Switzerland demolished Lithuania (9-0) with Paul Sturzenegger scoring four goals (all headers) and Max Abegglen II supplying three goals.
The Swiss Manager, the Englishman Edward Duckworth, had been managing Swiss club Servette Geneva and had only been appointed the previous month.
The Lithuanians were playing their second ever match. Apart from Razma, Bartuska, Juozapaitis and Garbaciauskas, all the other players were making their debuts.
In addition they had traveled 52 hours by train and were exhausted after having arrived at Paris in the morning of the match.
Later at the same venue, USA and Estonia also made their respective Olympic debuts. All Americans were earning their very first cap.
The Americans would be victorious (1-0) through a penalty kick by Andrew Stardan (15th minute). However, Estonia did have a chance to tie the match but, Elmar Kaljot missed his own penalty kick attempt in the 68th minute (the referee had ordered his kick retaken, and the second time, his shot hit the cross bar).
At Paris’ Stade de Bergeyre, Czechoslovakia took on Turkey and comfortably won (5-2) with a double from Josef Sedlacek I.
They also missed a penalty kick by Antonin Hojer.
For the Czechoslovakian squad, it was the debut of their Manager Jaroslav Bezecný on the bench, as well as Josef Sloup Staplik, Otto Krombholz, JosefPleticha, Josef Sedlacek and Jan Novak.
The Czechs lined up brothers Josef and Rudolf Sloup.
Turkey were playing their second ever match and most players had at most 2 caps.
The Czechs had been training for two months (once a week) to prepare for the tournament.

On the next day, Monday, May 26th, at Stade de Colombes (15:30 kick off), Uruguay made its debut in the Olympics by taking on Yugoslavia.
The technically superior Uruguayans delighted the crowd and impressively defeated Yugoslavia (7-0), with Pedro Petrone and Pedro Cea, each scoring twice.
The Uruguay squad, housed at Argenteuil Hotel, would become the toast of these games and introduce the European crowd to a new style of play.

An interesting incident occurred concerning Virgilio Levratto. In an attack, Levratto ran directly with such force into Luxembourg goalkeeper Etienne Bausch that he was knocked out.
Levratto looked over and said “I’ve murdered him”. Etienne Bausch was treated and came back on the field.
Five minutes later, an identical situation occurred with Levratto about to run into him again. Bausch jumped down and covered his face with his hands.

The French wore Red Uniforms (instead of traditional blue) as a sign of hospitality, thus allowing the guests to wear their blue uniforms.
It would be a match that would confirm Uruguay’s superiority on the old continent. From the opening kick-off the South Americans were in charge and Hector Scarone (3rd minute) gave them the lead. The French quickly tied the match by Paul Nicolas (12th minute), but the final outcome was never in doubt after Scarone scored his second goal prior to halftime.

This would be the star-making match of Uruguay’s José Leandro Andrade.

He was virtually ineffective for the rest of the match.

On the same day, at Stade de Bergeyre, Switzerland took on Italy on a rain soaked muddy field.
For Italy, Pozzo decided to leave out De Vecchi and once again reconstituted the Rosetta-Caligaris duo.
Paul Sturzenegger had given Switzerland the lead (46thminute), before Giuseppe Della Valle tied the score (52nd minute).
In the 60th minute, Switzerland scored the winner that would be contested by the Italians. Karl Ehrenbolger crossed from an offside position. The Italian goalkeeper De Pra misjudged the flight of ball and Max Abegglen headed in the winner.
Italy attacked afterwards but in vain as Switzerland held on. The Italians would blame the Referee for Switzerland’s winning goal.
Pozzo even filed a complaint on the behalf of the Italian Federation, but the complaint was rejected.
Incidentally, the Swiss were to withdraw following the match vs. Czechoslovakia due to a lack of funds. However, Zurich based Magazine ‘Sport’ collected 6,000 Swiss Francs for the Swiss to continue their adventure (although three homesick players returned home).
Vittorio Pozzo would later recount a very sportsmanlike conduct by the Swiss. Following their win, the Swiss were singing in the changing rooms. Upon exiting in the corridor Pozzo and Caligaris saw Switzerland’s Schmiedlin. He noticed the Italians were saddened after the defeat, so he told his teammates not to sing next to the Italians. Pozzo was very touched by this gesture.

The following day (June 6th) at Stade de Colombes, Uruguay took on the Dutch.
Kees Pijl was back for the Dutch and Gerrit Horsten made his International debut.
It was Pijl (32ndminute) who gave the Dutch the lead. The Uruguayans would get back into the game in the second half. Pedro Cea leveled the score (62nd minute).
Uruguay took the lead with less than ten minutes remaining after they were awarded a penalty kick. Hector Scarone scored from the spot (81st minute), however, the decision was contested, as it was Scarone who had committed a handball offense prior to the kick.
There was a well-known headline from French newspaper ‘France-Soir’ that read: “l'Arbitre bat la Hollande” (The Referee defeated Holland).

Following this match the Final between Uruguay and Switzerland was played witnessed by 1,500 journalists.
Initially the Dutchman Johannes Mutters was to referee the match, but perhaps due to the controversy from their previous match with the Dutch, Uruguay protested to the choice. As a result, France’s Marcel Slawick was appointed to referee.
The match went according to expectations and Uruguay defeated the Swiss (3-0) with goals by (Pedro Petrone 9th minute, Pedro Cea 65thminute, Hector Scarone 82nd minute).
Uruguay had won the Olympics title paying a more technical and sophisticated game that the Europeans were accustomed to.

The audience marveled in their performances and this would act as a bridge between Football’s main two continents. It was an early step in the birth of the eventual World Cup.
Uruguay would go on to win the 1928 Olympic title as well as the inaugural 1930 World Cup.
Little did Pedro Cea know that he would be go on to be the only player to play every minute of the 1924, 1928 and 1930 triumphs.
While Jose Nasazzi would Captain all these three victories.

The main stars of Uruguay for these Olympics would be Angel Romano on the left wing and needless to say Andrade, who would be dubbed  ‘La Maravilla Negra’ (the black wonder).
Andrade would take to the Parisian nightlife and actually stayed in Paris for two more weeks after the Uruguayan squad had left.
A new era in Football had begun and the International game was about to enter a new phase and European were no longer the undisputed masters of the game.
