  1. Escobar sacrificed his life for the US player right of him who would inevitable hit the pass for a score. Would they had sent an 'Alberto the Shadow' to do the job? If every athletic, who fight for his country, get paid by his country in such way, then the days of sport as I have them in memories, are counted.

  2. Una tristeza a donde llega la gente sin corazon que descanses en paz Andres Escobar. Que Dios te tenga en su santa gloria Que Dios bendiga a nuestro mundo y que toda la gente mala sea buena

  3. That's like if Hasslebaink playing for Chelsea got murdered by a Chelsea hooligan for scoring an own goal at Newcastle in 2002-03. Didn't happen of course but that wud be a Premier League version of Escobar's fate!

  4. Such a shame Escobar was so badly tarnished by this play. He was a great footballer who made a mistake while trying to defend against a very possible US goal. The reality is that USA may very well have scored anyway had he not touched the ball (see the US player open beyond Escobar during the cross pass – but who knows). I originally recorded this game on my VCR. It was not until after Escobar's murder that I went back and reviewed the tape. I must have rewound it a million times. Even now, after seeing this Youtube version, I'm still saddened by his pale face after that goal. And after seeing it again and again, I think he must have known what was waiting for him when he got home. Even more sad, are some of the comments I see here, and how this game (this play) can still cause such political and social divisiveness so many years later. Football (or any sport) should never be worth the price Andres Escobar paid…

  5. Wow the comment section… I can't even.. Really funny how people can be so brave to curse and bad mouthing behind the screen but if talk face to face? I doubt it. Anyway RIP Escobar what a tragedy hope it will never happen again

  7. More proof that sports are for thugs and very dumb people.. bread and circus.. and the idiots who play it and think its Nobel, its just like religion.. football is more corrupt then the police

  8. Rene Higuita was probably even more luckier in 1990 that obviously the drug lords hadn't bet on Colombia v Cameroon , our he definitely would have had it after his horrible mistake .
