Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England
worked at trying to perfect their much-vaunted Christmas Tree formation
introduced amid huge media interest by Terry Venables. But there was
nothing to suggest it made them any more potent against an uninspired
United States team unable to find the form that had brought them huge
support in the World Cup finals. One of the few encouraging things was the
powerhouse performance of two-goal Alan Shearer, who was always too much
of a handful for the overworked American defence. Barry Venison made a
satisfactory debut in the first of his two England appearances.
