Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England started their three-match
'US 93' tournament with a degrading 2-0 defeat by the United States. The
game was played almost forty-three years to the day that England suffered
their humiliating 1-0 defeat by the United States in the 1950 World Cup
finals. This was almost as bad, and particularly hard to stomach for Paul
Ince who became the first black player to captain England. The Americans,
including British-based players John Harkes of Sheffield Wednesday and Roy
Wegerle of Coventry, played with a composure and authority that surprised
an England team still shell shocked by the defeat in Norway. Thomas
Dooley, who played in Europe with Kaiserlautern, gave the United States a
deserved lead two minutes before half-time. Dooley limped off after a
reckless second-half tackle by Ince. Alexi Lalas, the red haired,
guitar-strumming Mr Personality of the United States squad, came on as substitute,
and within four minutes scored the second goal that knocked the heart out
of a jaded England side.
