Yes, being put in a group with (arguably) the best team in the world prior to the tournament (Colombia) and a European team with a mercurial (albeit aging) talent in Georghe Hagi, Romania. It was disappointing to not sweep that group.

1998 was tough, but not ridiculous by any means


You mean Germany, pre-dissolved Yugoslavia and a country that hates us (Iran) playing for the pride of their entire country? Yeah, another cake walk.

That goal from Hagi in The Two Escobars is one of the most wicked finishes I have ever seen.

It is the third goal in this video: LINK

Yugoslavia was basically just Serbia and Montenegro. Croatia (which was the great team), Bosnia, Slovenia, and Macedonia were all independent by then. It was a decently tough group, but nothing crazy.

As for 1994, we there were 6 teams in each pot. We got the number 3 team in Group 2, the number 3 team in Group 3, and the number 3 team in Group 4. Sure it wasn't the 2002 Belgium, Russia, Tunisia group that Japan got, but it was a very reasonable draw.
