Andres Escobar, from Columbia. He scored an own-goal, then USA scored, then Columbia scored and the game ended 2-1 for the USA.\n\nEscobar was later killed in Medellin, when he confronted a group of drunks in a bar who were teasing him over that goal.

contrary to the previous message, the usa made the round of 16 before losing to eventual champion brazil.  seems like the poorest country economically was probably cameroon or bolivia although greece was poorest on field.

Andreas Escobar was killed by a soccer fan soon after he returned home from USA '94. \nHis team Colombia were one of the favorites, and the Colombian people were  shocked by their early exit. \n\nEscobar scored a clear own goal in their loss to USA in the groups, game lost by Colombia by 1-2 that I believe was crucial. \n\nThe killer was sentenced to jail for 43 years, but was released after serving just 11 years.

Diego Maradona, for Argentina, in the Mexico World Cup in 1986.\n\nPity about this awful goal, because in the same match he scored an all-time-great goal.  He was so good he didn't need to cheat, but cheat he did.

1938 - Cuba over Romania in the 1st Round.  Brazil is CONMEBOL (Confederacion Sudamerica de Football), not CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central, and Caribbean American Football)\n\nDidn't happen again until 1990, when Costa Rica beat both Sweden and Scotland in the first round.\n\nNeither of the two North American elite teams, Mexico and the US, has ever beaten a UEFA team in the World Cup when played on European soil.

Twice (1978 in Argentina, and 1998 in France) before its 2006 qualification to Germany. In 1978 they were in the group with Netherlands, Peru, and Scotland. In 1998 they wer in the same group with Germany, Yugoslavia, and USA. Their performances were respectable even though they did not qualify to the 2nd round.
