Politics and The Game, Part Five

1- Jesus Gil and Adolfo Valencia, 1995
The ever-controversial Atletico Madrid President Jesus Gil was unsatisfied with his Colombian Forward Adolfo Valencia during the 1994/95 season.  After a goalless draw with Logrones in April 1995. He made statements that many believed crossed the line, when he evoked the murder of Andres Escobar during the 1994 World Cup, by saying about Valencia "I'll cut that black's head off. Snow White should come with her seven dwarfs. He should go back to Colombia to see if they really kill him"
Colombia’s Ambassador in Spain had to intervene and condemn the xenophobic statements.

2- Albania and the Spain, 1991
Albania were to host Spain at Tirana on December 18, 1991 to complete the 1992 UEFA European Championship qualifiers in their group.
However, the political situation in Albania was so turbulent that it was decided to cancel the match. In any case, both teams were already eliminated, it was therefore an inconsequential match.


3- Romania’s King Carol II, 1930
For the 1930 World Cup, most of Romania’s players worked for an English Oil Company. The company had threatened dismissals should any worker participate and miss work (they had requested three months paid leave absence).
Romania’s King Carol II, who was very determined to have Romania participate, threatened that he would shut down the company if players were not granted leave and naturally the Oil Company complied.

4- Perspolis and the Shah, 1967
The rise to prominence of Tehran Club Perspolis had much to do with the politics of the day.
There was another Tehran team called ‘Shahin’ in the 50s and 60s.
Their main rivals‘Taj (now Esteghalal) were the favorite team of Iran’s Military class.
It is said that the Military officers, through false rumors, convinced the Shah to order the disbandment of Shahin.
Most of the Shahin players moved to the new unknown club Perspolis and that is how Perspolis established themselves as a power.

5- Colombia and the 1986 World Cup
Colombia were officially designated to host the 1986 World Cup through the lobbying of its President Misael Pastrana Borrero.
Borrero had wanted to use the World Cup as a platform to spend on many projects including Stadia.
But the rise of the ‘19th of April Movement’ Guerillas, as well as the intensification of the Drug Wars, drew concerns about its ability not only to host but also provide safety.

President Barrero withdrew his Nation from hosting and the rights went to Mexico.

The Best Players to never appear in a World Cup, Part Five

1- Thomas Doll
Former East German International Thomas Doll was one of the first players from the former East to be integrated into the new unified German National team in 1990/91, along with Matthias Sammer, Ulf Kirsten and Andreas Thom.
He was an integral part of the National team into the 1992 Euros in Sweden. Afterwards, he lost the confidence of National Team manager Berti Vogts during the 1992/93 season, who had grown impatient of Doll’s inconsistency with the National team. As a result he missed the chance to participate in the 1994 World Cup in USA.

2- Emlyn Hughes
1970s Liverpool skipper Emlyn Hughes is amongst the many English players of his generation who missed out in playing in the World Cup, since England failed to qualify for the 1974 and 1978 World Cups.

3- Ladislau Boloni
Steaua Bucharest’s Ladislau Boloni was a standout for Romania in the 70s and early-mid 80s.
He was born a few years too soon to be part of Gheorghe Hagi’s glorious generation that could qualify for World Cups with more ease.

4- Johnny Metgod
Holland’s Johnny Metgod was an important member of the AZ’67 Alkmaar squad that won the Dutch League title (and reached the UEFA Cup Final) in 1981.
He was rewarded with a transfer to Real Madrid and eventually Nottingham Forest.
He missed the 70s glory years and in his prime, the Dutch National team was fading and missed on World Cup qualifications in the 80s.

5- Enzo Trossero
Independiente’s Enzo Trossero was actually part of Cesar Menotti’s World Cup squad in 1982 but saw no action. He participated in the 1986 World Cup qualifiers and helped Argentina qualify. However, Carlos Bilardo overlooked him for the main event.
