Re: FIFA World Cup 2010
ESPN just put out a fantastic (yet gut wrenching film) called "The Two Escobars" as part of a series of films about sports. This one deals with Medellin cartel head Pablo Escobar and the ways the drug industry was tied into the Colombian football team. And yes, it also tells of how the death of Andres Escobar, the guy who scored the own goal when they played the US, was tied to the fate of Pablo himself. Fascinating yet horrifying film. If anyone can catch a torrent of it, you should watch it.
