SAN SIRO-THE CATHEDRAL OF MILAN'S FOOTBALL

The san siro-or to give its official name, the Stadio Giusseppe Meazza-is the tiger home of two Italy's big football clubs, AC Milan and Internazionale. The San Siro staged three games as the world's leading teams congregated for a second time, starting with an exciting 3-2 triumph for Switzerland over the Netherlands.  yet sporting logic was turned on its head as, in front of 73,780 spectators, Francois Omam-Biyik's 67th-minute goal announced the true arrival of African football. It was here that the Germans saw off Yugoslavia (4-1), United Arab Emirates (5-1), Netherlands (2-1), Czechhoslovakia (1-0). Home to Milan since 1926 and to Inter since 1947, the San Siro is Italian football's finest stage.
