June
Bulgaria
followed up its win vs. France with an equally important win vs. Yugoslavia.
This
was Bulgaria’s first match after the CSKA/Levski fight in the Cup final , which
led to the disbanding of both clubs.
Levski
pair of BorislavMikhailov and Plamen Nikolov played this match despite being
suspended for “life”.
Argentina
qualified for the World Cup after surviving a scare vs. Peru. The series with
Peru featured Luis Reyna’s brutal marking of Maradona.
Brazil
also qualified for the World Cuop, with Tele Santana back in charge. He called
up many of the Spain ’82 veterans.
Italy,
West Germany and England, along with hosts Mexico participated in the Ciudad de
Mexico Cup/ Azteca 2000.
