We go back to a time when I went to a World Cup match with my dad. The year was 1994. It was a special time because - not only was I celebrating my dad’s birthday – I also was in attendance while the US National Team was up against one of the best soccer clubs in the world – Brazil National Team. All this on the 4th of July.

One of the biggest surprises of that day was not that the US team almost beat the Brazilians but the fact that my and my best friend’s dad had met one another before, unbeknownst to me and my friend. I go on to describing how they met and what was the link between them. Get ready for another emotional taco truck ride as I also pay tribute to my uncle, the man responsible for helping my dad move our family to the United States in 1978. It’s an episode that takes aim at what a “Network” looked like in that time.
