fifa world cup 1994 posterThree teams finished on six points while Greece proved the whipping boys, conceding ten, scoring none and finishing up with no points. Maradona made his last appearance for Argentina, failing a drug test and being expelled from the tournament. After an initial setback, Bulgaria finished strongly. Nigeria, regarded as one of the strongest teams in Africa, finally made it to the World Cup finals and topped the group wearing very flamboyent strips.

Bulgaria secured their place as dark horses for the tournament with a fine win against Argentina. Stoichkov scored their first with an hour played and Sirakov made it 2-0 in injury time. Both teams finished with identical records so the result itself was the deciding factor in placing Bulgaria in second place. Argentina went through as one of the best third placed sides.
