The 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta had all of the soccer matches in Athens where I was living at the time. It was cool to see relative underdogs Nigeria beat Argentina. After the match, there were parades of Nigerians with flags marching through downtown. Faves Brazil (Brasil) won the bronze. My girlfriend at the time was Brazilian & was the major reason I even went.
Oh & the USA Women beating China for the gold was something.
