(FILES) Brazilian forward Romario kisses the FIFA World Cup trophy as his teammates Branco (L) and Dunga look on, after Brazil defeated Italy 3-2 in the shoot-out session (0-0 after extra time) at the end of the World Cup final, on July 17, 1994 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The 1994 World Cup was held in the United States, where football known as "soccer" in the country was an obscure sport that barely stirred any excitement. Brazil were crowned champions after beating Italy in the final, although the match was a rather lacklustre affair compared to what had gone before. Football's biggest trophy was decided for the first time on penalties. (Photo by Timothy A. CLARY / AFP via Getty Images)
