Colombia had a great team heading into the 1994 World Cup - Pele, in one of his many unlucky predictions, said they were one of the big favorites to win it - but the team was a big disappointment . they lost 1-2 to USA in the game that sealed their elimination and one of the american goals was an own goal by Andres Escobar, who later was killed but I remember hearing that it was proved that it had nothing to do with the own goal. wikipedia makes you think it did.
