Austria scored last-minute equalizers against Cameroon, and Chile in their World Cup group in 1998, and another against Italy, but lost that one 2-1, and went out.
What do Italy's exits from the 1990, 1994, and 1998 World Cups have in common?
How many times have Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, or Belarus met England in a competitive UEFA/FIFA game?
All on penalties? 1990 v. Argentina in the semis; 1994 v. Brazil in the final; 1998 v. Holland or Norway (?) on penaltiesQuote:

Think Palermo's right. Didn't see the additional side to the question though - what about the 3rd/4th place play-off?
Thought our game against England was in Cagliari, where England played all their games, may be wrong! Forgot about 3/4 play-off, in Bari aganist Italy.Quote:

think Romario in 83/84 won title when playing for barcelona
england palermo or carliagai in the little island off italy cause in case the fans went daft (which is quite common lol)
don't know of the secong question :D
Alfredo Di Stefano won two European Footballer of the Year awards. but I am not sure whether at the time he was deemed to be Argentinian, Colombian or Spanish at the time although I suspect he was spanish. Another Argentinian Omar Sivora who played for Juventus also won the award after Di Stefano, so I would say Sivora is the answer.Quote:

Superhoops got it right. England played their 7 games in WC '90 in Cagliari, with knockout games in Bologna, Naples, Turin, and Bari, in that order.Quote:

Austria Vienna knocked them out in the next round. The Austrians were knocked out by Juventus on a fogbound Turin night in December. Juventus went on to win the competition, beating Borussia Dortmund in the final.Quote:

Following St. Francis' merger with Pats in 2001, they withdrew from the league, leaving the 1st Division one club short. It led to their opponents each week that season, having an idle week when they were originally due to play St. Francis. Because of that, one team in the division finished their campaign one week before the other teams in the league. Who were they?
