Stewart sparks US pile-up
“Tainted” is how Eric Wynalda now describes USA’s 2-1 win over Colombia at the 1994 FIFA World Cup™. What should have been a joyful celebration of football taking root in the States has, as the US stalwart’s description acknowledges, become synonymous instead with the fateful own goal and subsequent murder of Andres Escobar. “As a team, we were very hesitant to talk about that game for that reason,” admitted Wynalda. “We didn’t want to dishonour him.”However, while the Escobar tragedy put football firmly in perspective, it should still be reflected that this match was a momentous milestone on the road to America embracing the beautiful game.

NBA Rumors: Injured Nerlens Noel Prefers Trade Away From 76ers

One of Jahlil Okafor, Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel probably will have to be traded at some point. According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the odd man out could be Noel. “Nothing has changed here.

Enunwa noticed as much and wasn’t pleased. “It’s tough,” Enunwa told reporters, per the New York Daily News. “I mean, I know as a fan
