Not too sure if anyone remember this incident. 20 years ago, Colombia were 1 of the favs for the WC after going through the qualifiers undefeated and also defeated Maradona's Argentina 5-0 in Buenos Aires on their way.
Things didn't go well after they went to the World Cup. They finished bottom in a relatively easy group. Andres Escobar scored an own goal in the 2-1 defeat to USA. He was later killed a month later because of it.
This year, they are heading the the World Cup as 1 of the favs again. Hopefully the same tragedy won't happen again.
