Goalkeeper receives death threat
Guatemala international goalkeeper
Edgar 'El Gato' Estrada has received death threats following
his team's 5-2 defeat to Costa Rica.
The result effectively eliminated Guatemala from the 2002 World
Cup finals.
He was told that the decisive defeat was his fault and that he would be killed because of it.
Estrada's father revealed that the threats were delivered to a workshop owned by the goalkeeper.
The result puts Costa Rica into the final qualification phase,
in the Concacaf group, for the 2002 World Cup.
They will
meet the United States, Mexico, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and
Honduras.
The top three teams qualify for the 2002 World Cup finals to be
co-hosted by Japan and South Korea.
