A preview:

“In this weekend’s battle for World Cup supremacy, the collision between Germany’s Juergen Klinsmann and Bulgaria’s Hristo Stoitchkov promises to be the most enthralling.

“Any agent worth his 10% will be in America this weekend to assess a quarterfinal lineup glittering with goal-scoring talent.

“Klinsmann v. Stoitchkov, (Martin) Dahlin v. (Gheorghe) Hagi, Romario v. (Dennis) Bergkamp. These are some of the duelists who will determine which four nations compete in next week’s semifinals in New York and Los Angeles.

“There is every likelihood, too, that a World Cup producing a scoring rate superior to that in Italy four years ago will also throw up the most prolific scorer of modern times.”
