I think that pretty much covers my soccer cards, just in time for Germany to beat Argentina in the World Cup finals… and now that I’ve officially made that prediction, enjoy watching the Netherlands and Brazil on Sunday.Published Aug. …OK, fine, “Bomber”, “Score” and “Printed in Italy”. Somewhere along the line I acquired a handful of these, and kept this card because it amused me that the only word I understood on the whole card was “Bomber”. Speaking of foreign soccer sets made by American companies, here’s a card from the 1991-92 Score Italian Football set. When I find them again, I still won’t know what to do with them. After opening the packs, I had a couple of hundred cards of guys I’d never heard of, and I didn’t know what to do with them, so they largely got filed away. They won the first ever Supporters Shield that year as the team with the best regular season record. Tampa Bay Mutiny entered the league in 1996 as one of Major League Soccers inaugural teams.
