The 1994 FIFA Earth Cup was the 15th FIFA Globe Loving cup, the world championship for men's national soccer teams. It was hosted past the United States and took place from June 17 to July 17, 1994, at nine venues across the country. The The states was chosen every bit the host by FIFA on July 4, 1988. Despite soccer'southward relative lack of popularity in the host nation, the tournament was the near financially successful[1] [two] in World Cup history; it broke tournament records with overall attendance of 3,587,538 and an average of 68,991 per game,[three] marks that stood unbroken equally of 2018[4] despite the expansion of the contest from 24 to 32 teams starting with the 1998 World Cup.[5]
Brazil were crowned the winners after defeating Italy 3–2 in a punishment shoot-out at the Rose Basin in Pasadena, California near Los Angeles, after the game had ended 0–0 after extra time. It was the beginning Earth Cup last to exist decided on penalties. The victory made Brazil the first nation to win four World Cup titles. In that location were 3 new entrants in the tournament: Hellenic republic, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia plus Russia, post-obit the breakup of the Soviet Union, and for the first fourth dimension since 1938, a unified Germany took part in the tournament. They were besides defending champions, but were eliminated in quarter-finals by Republic of bulgaria. It was the kickoff Globe Cup where three points were awarded for a victory instead of 2 and also the beginning with the dorsum-laissez passer dominion. This was done to encourage a more than attacking style of soccer after the defensive tactics and depression-scoring matches of the 1990 World Cup. This resulted in an average of 2.71 goals per match.
Background and preparations [edit]
Behest process [edit]
Three nations bid for host duties: United states, Brazil, and Morocco.[six] The vote was held in Zurich on July 4, 1988, and just took one circular with the United States bid receiving a little over half of the votes past the FIFA Executive Committee members.[6] FIFA hoped that by staging the world'south most prestigious tournament there, it would lead to a growth of interest in the sport.[7]
An inspection committee too found that the proposed Brazilian stadiums were deficient, while the Moroccan bid relied on the structure of nine new stadiums. Conversely, all the proposed stadiums in the The states were already built and fully functioning; US Soccer spent $500 million preparing and organizing the tournament, far less than the billions other countries previously had spent and subsequently would spend on preparing for this tournament.[eight] The U.S. bid was seen as the favorite and was prepared in response to losing the right to exist the replacement host for the 1986 tournament following Colombia'south withdrawal.[9]
One status FIFA imposed was the cosmos of a professional person soccer league – Major League Soccer was founded in 1993 and began operating in 1996.[10] There was some initial controversy[11] about awarding the Globe Cup to a country where soccer was not a nationally popular sport, and at the time, in 1988, the U.S. no longer had a professional league; the North American Soccer League, established in 1967, had folded in 1984 after attendance faded.[11] The success of the 1984 Summer Olympics, particularly the soccer tournament that drew 1.4 million spectators throughout the event, likewise contributed to FIFA's decision.[12]
The Us had previously bid to host the 1986 FIFA Globe Cup, after Colombia withdrew equally the host nation in November 1982 because of economic concerns. Despite a presentation led by old North American Soccer League players Pelé and Franz Beckenbauer, likewise as erstwhile United States Secretarial assistant of State Henry Kissinger, the executive commission selected Mexico.[xiii]
Mascot [edit]
Striker, the official mascot of the tournament.
The official mascot of this World Cup was Striker, the World Loving cup Pup, a canis familiaris wearing a red, white and blue soccer uniform with a ball.[xiv] Striker was designed by the Warner Bros. animation team.[fifteen] A dog was picked as the mascot because dogs are a common pet in the Us.[fifteen]

Venues [edit]
The games were played in 9 cities across the United States. All stadiums had a capacity of at least 53,000, and their usual tenants were professional or college American football teams.[19] Other considered venues in other major cities across the United States such equally Atlanta, Denver, Kansas Metropolis, Las Vegas, Miami, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Seattle and Tampa were not used, likewise equally venues in smaller towns such as Annapolis, Maryland; Columbus, Ohio; Corvallis, Oregon; and New Oasis, Connecticut.[20] Several modern venues, including Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami and Candlestick Park in San Francisco were rejected because of conflicts with Major League Baseball, so Stanford Stadium, 30 miles (48 km) southeast of San Francisco was used,[21] [22] and the Citrus Basin in Orlando was picked over Miami's 2 submitted venues (the Orange Bowl, the other Miami venue, required major renovations to meet tournament standards).[23] The venue used most was the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, with eight games, among them one circular of sixteen game, a semi-concluding, the third-identify game, and the last. Giants Stadium near New York hosted 7 games including a semi-final; Boston (Foxborough), San Francisco (Stanford) and Dallas hosted six games each and Chicago, Washington and Orlando each hosted five games. The least used was the Pontiac Silverdome most Detroit, the offset indoor stadium used in a World Cup, with four group phase games. The Pontiac Silverdome was also the only venue of the ix used that did not host whatsoever knockout round games.
Because of the large expanse of the continental Us, the game locations were often far apart. Some teams in Groups A and B had to travel from Los Angeles or San Francisco all the way to Detroit and back once more, covering 2,300 miles (3,700 km) and four time zones. The teams in Groups C and D merely played in Foxborough (Boston), Chicago and Dallas—a trip from Boston to Dallas is 2,000 miles (three,200 km), but only covers two time zones; Chicago is in the same fourth dimension zone every bit Dallas but is still 1,000 miles (1,600 km) abroad from both Dallas and Boston. The teams in Groups E and F had it a bit easier—they played exclusively in New York (East Rutherford), Washington and Orlando, which while far apart are at least all in the same time zone. A few teams, such every bit Cameroon and Republic of colombia did not have to travel to cities beyond the country to play games.
The variety of climate in different cities all over the United states too sometimes made playing conditions challenging. Aside from the oceanic coolness of Boston (Foxborough), the Mediterranean climate of San Francisco (Stanford) and occasionally the coolness of Chicago, as they had been in Mexico in 1970 and 1986 most matches were played in hot and/or humid weather condition, cheers to nearly all of the games being scheduled to be played during the day instead of at night in order to adjust a fourth dimension difference compromise for television receiver in Europe, Africa, and the Eye East; this had always been done every time a Earth Loving cup was held in the Americas. Although playing in the mostly dry oestrus and smoggy weather of Los Angeles (Pasadena) and the mixture of heat and humidity of Washington and New York sometimes proved to exist difficult, the cities with the most consistently oppressive conditions were Orlando and Dallas in the South, because of the combination of rut and extreme humidity.[24] The Floridian tropical climate of Orlando meant all games at that place were played in temperatures of 95 °F (35 °C) or higher up with dew points to a higher place 70 or more than (the temperature there during the grouping phase game betwixt Mexico and Republic of ireland was 105 °F (41 °C)) thank you to the mid-24-hour interval kickoff times.[25] Dallas was not much different: in the humid rut of a Texas summertime, temperatures exceeded 100 °F (38 °C) during mid-solar day, when games there were staged in the open-type Cotton Bowl meant that conditions were just as oppressive at that place every bit they were in Orlando.[26] Detroit likewise proved to be difficult: the Pontiac Silverdome did non have a working cooling system and because it was an air-supported stadium, the air could not escape through circulation, so temperatures inside the stadium would climb past 90 °F (32 °C) with 40% humidity. United States midfielder Thomas Dooley described the Silverdome as "the worst place I accept ever played at".[27]

Mexico had its first successful qualification campaign since 1978, failing to qualify in 1982, qualifying as hosts in 1986 and existence banned for the Cachirules scandal in 1990.
The qualification campaigns of both Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia were affected past political events. The nation of Czechoslovakia dissolved in 1993, completing its qualifying group nether the name "Representation of Czechs and Slovaks" (RCS), simply failed to authorize for the finals, having been edged out by Romania and Belgium in Grouping 4. Yugoslavia (which was supposed to play in Group 5) was suspended from international contest in 1992 as part of United nations sanctions against the country as a issue of the Yugoslav Wars. The sanctions were not lifted until 1994, by which fourth dimension it was no longer possible for the team to qualify.

This was the first World Loving cup since Globe War 2 in which none of the UK Home Nations of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales qualified (they withdrew their FIFA memberships between 1928 and 1946, during the first three tournaments), with England (finishing 3rd behind Norway and Netherlands in Group 2) missing out after having finished 4th in the 1990 tournament, and Scotland (who finished quaternary in Group i) failing to qualify for the first time since 1970. France, who had been already designated equally hosts of the 1998 tournament, also missed out following surprise home losses to Israel and Republic of bulgaria.

Summary [edit]
Despite the controversy, the U.S. staged a hugely successful tournament, with an average attendance of nearly 70,000 breaking a record that surpassed the 1966 FIFA World Loving cup average attendance of 51,000, thanks to the large seating capacities of the stadiums in the United States in comparison to the generally smaller venues of Europe and Latin America. To this day, the total omnipresence for the final tournament of well-nigh 3.6 million remains the highest in World Loving cup history, despite the expansion of the contest from 24 to 32 teams at the 1998 World Cup in France.[iv] [32] Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Belgium, Italy, and the Usa were seeded for the final depict, which took place in Las Vegas on December nineteen, 1993.[33]
The format of the competition stayed the same equally in the 1990 World Cup: 24 teams qualified, divided into half-dozen groups of 4. 16 teams would qualify for the knockout phase: the six group winners, the 6 group runners-up, and the four third-placed teams with the all-time records. This was the last time this format was used, due to the expansion of the finals tournament in 1998 to 32 teams. FIFA introduced three rule changes for this tournament to encourage attacking play: three points awarded for a win in a group stage match instead of 2, a relaxed offside rule and a ban on picking up dorsum-passes to goalkeepers. The number of goals increased to ii.73 per game from the record-low of 2.21 in 1990.[34]
The tournament saw the end of Diego Maradona'south World Loving cup career, having played in the 1982, 1986, and 1990 World Cups, and leading Argentina to the 1986 Globe Loving cup championship and the final of the 1990 World Loving cup. Maradona was expelled from the tournament subsequently he failed a drug examination which uncovered ephedrine, a weight-loss drug, in his blood.

Lothar Matthäus scoring a penalty kick in Germany's quarter-final confronting Bulgaria at Giants Stadium on July 10. Republic of bulgaria came back to win the game.
On the field, Republic of bulgaria was ane of the biggest surprises of the tournament. The Bulgarians had never won a game in five previous World Cup finals just, led by Hristo Stoichkov who somewhen shared the tournament atomic number 82 in scoring, they made a surprising[ to whom? ] run; Bulgaria won 2 of their iii grouping games to qualify for the second circular, where they avant-garde with a iii–one penalty shoot-out win over Mexico. Bulgaria then faced the reigning world champions, Germany, in the quarter-finals, where goals from Stoichkov and Yordan Letchkov gave them a 2–1 victory. Bulgaria went on to stop in fourth place later on losing to Italian republic and Sweden, in the semi-finals and 3rd-place game, respectively.
The host nation United States, after a 23rd place finish in Italy 1990, advanced to the 2d round every bit one of the best third-place teams. They were eliminated in the Round of xvi on a 1-0 defeat to Brazil on Independence Solar day.
Brazil's win over the hosts helped have them to the final confronting Italy. Brazil's path was relatively smooth though non easy,[ clarification needed ] equally they defeated the Netherlands in the quarter-finals and Sweden in the semis. The Italians meanwhile had fabricated difficult work of reaching the last. During the group phase, Italy struggled and narrowly advanced to the next round, despite losing 1–0 to the Ireland. Italian playmaker Roberto Baggio, who equally the reigning FIFA Earth Player of the Yr and Ballon D'Or holder, was expected[ by whom? ] to be one of the stars of the tournament,[ citation needed ] had non yet scored a goal. During the Round of 16 games against Nigeria, Italy was trailing ane–0 in the dying minutes when Baggio scored the tying goal, forcing the game into actress time. He scored again with a penalty kick to ship Italian republic through. Baggio carried the Italians from there, scoring the game-winning goal in the quarter-final against Spain, and both goals in Italian republic's semi-final victory over Republic of bulgaria.[36]
The third-place playoff was set between Bulgaria and Sweden, the team which scored more than goals than whatever other in this World Cup.[ quantify ] These teams had also previously met in the qualifying group. Sweden won, 4–0. Swedish forward Tomas Brolin was named to the All-star team.[37]
The final game at the Rose Bowl was tense but devoid of scoring chances. Information technology was the second time in 24 years that the 2 nations had met in a final. After 120 goalless minutes, the World Cup was decided for the starting time time past a punishment shoot-out. Later on four rounds, Brazil led 3–2, and Baggio, playing injured, had to score to keep Italy's hopes alive.[36] He missed by shooting it over the batten, and the Brazilians were crowned champions for the fourth time.[38] Later on the game ended, so-Vice-president Al Gore hosted the application ceremony by handing Brazilian captain Dunga the prestigious bays; the Brazilian national team defended the title to the deceased Formula I motor racing champion and countryman Ayrton Senna, who had died two and a half months prior.[ citation needed ]

Cameroon left a mark too every bit Roger Milla, at the historic period of 42, became the oldest World Cup goalscorer of all time, as he grabbed his side's consolation goal in the game.

Grouping C [edit]
As was the example with Group B, Group C would merely ship ii teams into the Round of 16 as Spain and defending champions Frg progressed to round 2. Coming from two goals down with iv minutes left to snatch a 2–two depict against Spain, the Southward Koreans very most eclipsed that feat confronting Deutschland when they came from three–0 downwards to lose narrowly iii–two. In spite of these comebacks, South Korea was held to a 0–0 draw confronting Bolivia in their other grouping game when a win would have seen them through. Spain's late implosion against the South Koreans effectively decided that it would be Germany who won the grouping and not them.
Germany, who defeated Bolivia one–0 in the tournament'due south opening game, finished with seven points. Spain had to settle for 2nd place despite leading in all 3 games.
Despite Bolivia finishing last in the group, Erwin Sanchez made team history later on scoring the nation's showtime Earth Cup goal in a 3–1 loss to Kingdom of spain. Prior to 1994, Republic of bolivia had never scored in either of their previous appearances at the 1930 and 1950 Earth Cups.

Tournament favorites Argentine republic led by Diego Maradona collected a maximum of six points from their opening 2 games after dominating Greece iv–0 in Foxboro with a Gabriel Batistuta hattrick before winning a close friction match against a formidable Nigeria with a 2–1 victory on the same field four days later; despite this Argentina finished tertiary in the group. Nigeria had been very impressive on their World Cup debut, and despite the narrow loss to Argentina, had emerged equally group winners post-obit victories against Bulgaria and Hellenic republic, the latter in which Nigeria doubled its lead late on a goal from Daniel Amokachi – a goal that would allow Nigeria to top its group. Maradona only played with Argentina during their get-go two games, both in Foxborough (playing Greece and Nigeria and scoring his last ever World Loving cup goal against the former); he was thrown out of the tournament after testing positive for ephedrine.
Having qualified for the tournament through a last-gasp goal against France, Bulgaria surprised many people, as the nation had never even won a game at the World Cup finals prior to this tournament. Despite losing its opening game 3–0 to Nigeria, Bulgaria came back in fashion with a 4–0 win over Hellenic republic (who had suffered exactly the same fate five days earlier against Argentina), and a 2–0 win against Argentina saw them advance. Argentina had really been winning the group going into injury time, while Bulgaria played the last 25 minutes with 10 men; all the same, a 91st-minute header from Nasko Sirakov meant that Argentina dropped two places and finished third. Nigeria won the group on goal difference. Bulgaria'south victory over Argentina earned them second place.

Group E [edit]
Italian republic and Norway getting gear up to play at Giants Stadium
Group E remains the but group in World Cup history in which all four teams finished with the aforementioned points and same goal difference. Information technology began at Giants Stadium where Ray Houghton's chip ensured a stupor Irish victory over the then-three-time champions Italian republic by 1–0, as well as gaining a measure out of revenge for the previous Earth Cup, in which Italy both hosted and eliminated Republic of ireland at the quarter-final stage. The next day in Washington, Norway played its first Globe Loving cup game since 1938 and Kjetil Rekdal'due south goal five minutes from time proved decisive in an every bit tense run across as Norway crush Mexico.
In the second round of grouping play, the tropical weather of Orlando played a fundamental factor for Mexico in their side by side game against Ireland. The match was held in record-breaking oestrus and humidity, temperatures in which the Mexicans were accustomed to but visibly uncomforted the Irish. Luis García'southward double had them 2–0 up and in control of the game before a disagreement on the touchline resulted in fines for both Republic of Ireland's managing director, Jack Charlton, and their striker John Aldridge. Aldridge was able to regain concentration in time to score six minutes from the terminate of the game to brand it 2–1. Despite their loss, Aldridge'due south goal proved crucial to Ireland in the final group standings.
During the previous mean solar day at Giants Stadium in New Jersey, Italia's World Cup hopes seemed to be diminishing fast as goalkeeper Gianluca Pagliuca was sent off with the game however at 0–0. All the same despite this, Italy was all the same able to salvage an important 1–0 victory. Kingdom of norway would ultimately pay a price for their inability to take reward of Pagliuca'southward dismissal. With the four teams level on points, the terminal 2 group games would each have to end every bit draws for things to stay that way. Republic of Ireland fabricated it through after a dreary 0–0 describe with Kingdom of norway; midfielders Massaro and Bernal traded strikes as Italy and Mexico played to a 1–1 describe.
Those results meant that Mexico won the group on goals scored, with three in the group. With Ireland and Italia as well progressing having finished with identical records, the Irish squad qualified equally 2d identify equally a result of their victory confronting the Italians. Norway'southward shortcomings in attack ultimately let them down, and they exited the tournament with only one goal.

During that game, Saudi actor Saaed Al-Owairian ran from his ain one-half through a maze of Belgian players to score the game'south only goal.
Saudi Arabia advanced through to the Round of 16 likewise, having also defeated Morocco 2–1. The netherlands endured a somewhat nervier feel.

Aftermath and legacy [edit]
The large capacity stadiums enabled huge, enthusiastic crowds to nourish the games, such every bit this i at the Giants Stadium quarter-final game.
- Although USA '94 marked the seventh time FIFA hosted the World Loving cup in the Americas (after beingness held in Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, Argentine republic, and twice by Mexico in 1970 and 1986), the U.s.a. became the first host in the American continent outside of the Latin American spectrum, and the first in the Anglosphere outside of England.
- The United States–Switzerland game on June eighteen at the Pontiac Silverdome was the first to exist played indoors in World Cup history: grass was grown by Michigan State University and was the showtime time since 1965 (the failed attempt at the Astrodome) that natural turf was used in an indoor stadium in the United States. To date, only Sapporo Dome in 2002 and Arena AufSchalke in 2006 have afterwards hosted indoor games in World Loving cup history.
- Oleg Salenko of Russian federation became the first player to score five goals in a single Globe Cup finals game in his state'due south group stage win over Cameroon. Republic of cameroon'due south Roger Milla as well scored a goal in the same game, becoming the oldest player to score a goal in a World Loving cup. At 42, he was besides the oldest player to appear in a World Cup, a record held until 2014, when Faryd Mondragón (43 years, three days) of Colombia broke the record in their game against Japan at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In turn, goalkeeper Essam El Hadary (45 years, 161 days) of Egypt would surpass Mondragón against Kingdom of saudi arabia, in the Volgograd Arena, Volgograd, Russia, on June 25, 2018. All the same, Milla remains to be the oldest outfield player to perform in the Earth Cup.
- For the first fourth dimension, during the entering of the players onto the field, the FIFA Anthem, composed by Franz Lambert, was played.
- Gianluca Pagliuca of Italia became the first goalkeeper to be sent off in a World Cup game, dismissed for treatment exterior his surface area confronting Kingdom of norway.
- Brazil'southward 11 goals in their seven games was a record for the lowest average goals scored per game for whatever World Cup-winning side, simply this record was cleaved past Spain'due south 8 goals in 2010. The iii goals Brazil conceded in those seven games was at the time also the lowest average goals conceded per game, although this was afterwards surpassed by France in 1998, Italy in 2006, and Spain in 2010.
- The finals were the first fourth dimension FIFA decided to experiment with the style of jerseys worn by officials, foregoing the traditional black. They could choose betwixt burgundy, yellow or silverish shirts depending on what was necessary to avoid a disharmonism of colors with the two competing teams. This custom has since been followed, but with black shirts added as an selection later on.
- The finals were likewise the offset fourth dimension that players had their shirt numbers printed on the middle front (or on the right or left chest, in Kingdom of morocco's and Russia's case respectively) of the shirt, besides equally their names printed on the dorsum of their jerseys in a World Cup, just as other American sports did, to brand their identification easier for sportscasters. This custom followed from Euro 92, and has followed ever since (although numbers printed on the center front end had been experimented during the 1991 FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Portugal).
- The finals were the showtime to award 3 points for a win in the grouping stage to motivate teams to play an attacking fashion.
- In disciplinary matters, for the first time yellow cards accumulated in the group stage were wiped clean after its completion, and players started with a clean slate at the start of the knockout stage. Previously, players were suspended for one game if accumulating ii yellowish cards throughout the tournament. Now, players were suspended for one game after accumulating two yellow cards in the grouping stage, or ii yellow cards in the knockout phase. This was in response to the situation in 1990, where players such as Claudio Caniggia and Paul Gascoigne were suspended for the after games.
- The 1994 World Cup revolutionized goggle box coverage of sports in the U.s.a. through the sponsored scoreboard and game clock that were constantly shown on screen throughout the game. Television sports coverage in the United States had long been dependent upon commercial breaks, a feature suitable for sports such as baseball, basketball, ice hockey and American football (which all take breaks in the action), but long considered incompatible with soccer, due to the long stretches of uninterrupted play. Variations on information technology were quickly incorporated into about every team sports broadcast by the decade's end. The first American pro sports broadcaster to do this was Flim-flam Sports which won national rights to broadcast the NFL's National Football Conference from CBS six months before the 1994 Earth Cup began.
- The 1994 Earth Cup final was the start (and to date only) goalless final in World Cup history. Information technology was as well the showtime to be decided by a punishment shootout, the other beingness the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final. Italy took part in both games, and won the latter.
- This was the terminal World Cup in which games other than the terminal two in each grouping were played simultaneously, although this only happened once in this tournament: Kingdom of saudi arabia v Kingdom of morocco and Kingdom of belgium five Netherlands in Group F. From France '98 onwards, each game in the showtime two rounds of group play and the whole knockout stage have been played separately to maximize tv audiences.
- This was the last World Cup featuring 24 nations, and the last in which third-placed teams were however able to progress to the round of sixteen. From 1998 on, at that place were 32 nations, with only the top two in each grouping progressing.
- This was the beginning and the final Earth Cup, in which both teams, taking parts in third-place terminal, Sweden and Bulgaria, received bronze medals.
