> soviets played soccer and Cubans played baseball

It's a Henri Kissinger's quote, but it's not accurate: Cubans do in fact play football. Also this quote wasn't from the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, but to another event in 1970. That being said, it is true that the US intelligence got warned by the construction of football fields (or maybe even more so by the lack of baseball grounds).
