- English soccer fans are devastated. Their top scoring
- ace, GARY LINEKER, is moving to the Grampus Eight club of
- Nagoya, Japan, in a deal worth nearly $9 million. Japan, where
- professional soccer will get under way in 1993, wants to become
- a global force in the sport. Such companies as Matsushita, Mazda
- and Toyota, which have invested in soccer teams, are luring
- world-class players to kick-start the action.
