Wow, I've never heard that before. It's the sort of thing that you see on film but never expect to hear about in real life.
A lot about the worldcup can be found here: http://www.worldcupcountries.vze.com also a lot of info about Dynamo Kyiv
Here is a longer version of the story with pics: http://www.hyperhistory.org/index.php?option=displaypage&Itemid=714&op=page Great story, but it's probably more myth than reality. It is the "official" story of Soviet propoganda, and they have been known to make up (and exaggerate) quite a few stories over the years. But it's clearly based on real events.
there was a similar type of movie with Pele and Stallone that was based on this story. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083284/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_to_Victory
