"Also, after yesterday Is anybody overlooking Iran?" I am not. USA-Iran should be a classic. Both teams are going for the win, they have no other choice. I am for USA but I want Iran to do well too. Both teams are my sentimental favorites in this group which of course means absolutely nothing. May the best team win. I would like to see a clean game and the teams exchange jerseys at the end to rub it to the fanatic mullahs. USA better play with no fear this time. I am embarassed by the performance against Germany. There are a lot of players who better redeem themselves, like Dooley, Reyna, Regis, etc. A convincing win against Iran would and a Germany win against Yugoslavia would be perfect. George

Update on Cantona and Nike from the wires -------------------------------------------------- Nike's (NKE) "swoosh logo" is all over ABC's coverage, with a coveted spot above the scorebox on the television broadcasts. But the American sporting goods retailer had a major setback in France on Monday. The company pulled its World Cup publicity campaign featuring an ex-soccer star after a French anti-racist group said the promotion recalled Vichy fascism in France, Reuters reported. Nike said its ads featuring Eric Cantona in a dictator-like image calling "Young people of the world, football is calling you!" were really meant to poke fun of the wretched Communist era. ----------------------------------------------------------- I would have loved to see the ad, too bad...
