Dead Thread - 2020

Reggie morelli died in Ninot ND. Hero of UND hockey. Really great guy And friend of our family. A great loss. A mural of him just after he scored the winner by goal in the 1959 NC game is on the wall at The Ralph. Blood streaming down his face.
 
Tommy Lasorda is in the hospital, and in intensive care. He's 93 and "resting comfortably". I think we all know what's coming next....
 
Mookie didn’t live in nyc when he lifts went out and Ford told them to drop dead.....but mookie did live there when dink was mayor and it was a shithole.
 
Saw him play in the 1994 World Cup that was in the US. Foxboro was one of the locations of the preliminary rounds. Greece was one of the home teams there and one of my relatives was redo for getting the Greek team to this location and the morning of the very first game, they called and said they had tickets, did I want to go? Um, yes! Greece played the Diego Maradona-led Argentine team. Smoked Greece 4-0. The Argentinian crowd was loud and crazy. Cool experience.

I believe you got to see his last goal for Argentina. Pretty special.

I was watching some of the highlights from the '86 World Cup, including the Argentina/England Semifinal. The "goal of the century" really is something you only see in videogames. That was amazing.

I also forgot about England protesting the "hand of God" goal for being offside (in addition to being a handball).

RIP Maradona.

One of the greatest, though undoubtedly controversial.

In the 1986 World Cup Semis he scored two legendary goals against England, the “Hand of God” and the ”Goal of the Century”.

That was the first soccer match I had ever watched, either in person or on tv. I watched it in, of all places, Oslo, Norway. That day still holds the record for the most warm beer consumed in one sitting by this writer. Ringnes beer, as I recall. I still don't know why it would be that hard to find a refrigerator, or even a cooler with ice.
