Originally published January 31, 2000

When Adil Ramzi missed a golden opportunity to score Saturday against Tunisia in Lagos and propel Morocco to the second round of the African Nations Cup, a 30 year-old teacher in Oujda died of a heart-attack.

The unconditional fan of the Atlas Lions merely passed away when at the 65 minute of the game Ramzi missed a clear opportunity to net the ball and qualify for the quarter-finals.
