1992 SUMMER OLYMPICS 

SOCCER Co 3

If you enjoy the thrill of competition in athletic contests, you will love this soccer cachet. It pays tribute to the world's most popular sport and I've chosen a key moment in the match. A hard, line-drive kick has just been drilled at short range toward the right side of the net. It looks like a sure score with the goal tender having no chance of reaching it. But wait! The goalie has launched himself leaping like a coiled spring to his left toward the on-coming rocket-like ball. His body arches in a straining reach almost perpendicular to the grassy turf. His eyes are intent--staring at the spot of intercept. His arms stretch to their full length in the hope that they will be in time. At the final fraction of a second before the speeding black and white ball passes into the net, the goalie's hands grab and hold for an incredible save. It's an "Olympic moment" and a beauty.

A hand-painted sports cachet with the above-mentioned action taking place in front of the graph-like squares of the goal net. Something special has been achieved here in honor of the world's favorite sport. Most call it football. We call it soccer. Item #M2001. $10.50.
