FIFA World Cup Curiosities

Hi everyone, my name is Thiago and today I will talk about the FIFA World Cup, that will begin in 38 days. I will write about some curiosities that I think are interesting.

In 1966, during the game England vs Argentina, one of the soccer players from Argentina demanded the presence of a translator, because he couldn't understand what the referee was saying. The referee thougth that was a disrespect and expelled the argentinian from the game.

In 1994 the World Cup was in the USA. During the opening, a famous american singer had to take a penalty, and even without a goal keeper, SHE MISSED THE GOAL!!!!
