SOCCER: Bora and the Chinese
Bora Milutinovic, Born 1944: Serbian who coached United States national team from 1991-95, but was fired when he refused to
accept additional duties; hired 4 months later to revive Mexican national team; known as a miracle worker, has led Mexico,
Costa Rica, USA and Nigeria into the 2nd round of the last four World Cups. Bora Milutinovic, one of two men to coach four
different teams at the World Cup, may get a chance with a fifth -- China." He did. Let's see if he blew it.

I thought José Medina was referring to the Boca Juniors team, but he was talking about Bora, which meant nothing to me. My
apologies. Alejo Orvañanos explains: "Our Argentine expert may be referring as "Bora-Factor" to the fact that China's
coach/trainer is Bora Milutinovic.
