There are several reasons why the Football Association (to give the play its title),
also known as soccer is the world. The final round is 2v2,
first team to score is the World cup champ.
Clay was a budding Black boxer and showman then and
Liston was the symbol of White aristocracy. The sensational moments of any match are determine through the most updated and comprehensive coverage.
But sadly, this victory was not to be repeated again until
the 1994 USA World Cup.
