Show notes
The Morning Footy crew discuss some of the greatest soccer scandals of all-time coming off what is happening in regard to Canada soccer and drone-gate. First, a look at referee corruption in Serie A which saw Juventus take the brunt of it despite several teams being involved. Next, the "Hand of God," which saw Maradona use his hand to famously score a goal and ultimately win Argentina a World Cup. Next, a chat about Jürgen Klinsmann's dive in the 1990 World Cup which lead to West Germany ultimately winning the trophy that year and started the "diving" that is now rampant in football today. Then, a discussion about "The Disgrace of Gijón," where West Germany and Austria played to a specific result so that both could advance to the next round. And finally, El Maracanazo. It was an incident that happened during the football match between Brazil and Chile at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on 3 September 1989, in which Chilean goalkeeper Roberto Rojas pretended to be injured by a flare thrown by Brazilian fans. The incident is considered by historians and football experts as one of the most shameful events in world football.
