Who is Berdusco ?

The player who scored the tying goal (1-1) against Brazil in front of 50,000 at Edmonton prior to the 1994 WC (so Brazil were pretty much full strength). He didn't amount to much more. Kind of like the previous generation's Hastings :S ;).

That's not fair. Eddie Berdusco became some sort of super-sub for

Canada for quite a few years until some immigration problems with

entering the U.S. The ban practically destroyed his soccer career.

To say he didn't amount to much more is like saying Alex Bunbury

was not much of a player. And that's just not true.

Well, what I meant is he was a sort of journeyman who'll be remembered more for that goal than the rest of his career. Hastings has played in Switzerland and Scotland and is a fine soccer player, but that GC golden goal will always be his defining moment.

Yeah Eddy Burdusco scored some big goals for us, but with Pesch and Bunbury in their prime (both hurt during the Brazil game though) and Carlo Corazzin a young up-and-comer, Eddy didn't get a lot of time.

That goal against Costa Rica gave us life in qualifying. Arguably Aguiar's best game with the national team as well.

I have that whole Brazil game on tape, but the quality is dismal.

cheers,
