Just read a US report on their game. Funny reading

And I quote:

"..they undoubtedly disappointed millions back home and certainly the 5,000 or so fans who made the trek overseas, falling to 0-8 in Europe in World Cup play, getting outscored 24-4."

and

"When the Americans returned to the World Cup in 1990 after a 40-year absence, they were embarrassed 5-1 by Czechoslovakia in their opener, getting outshot 24-7. Arena, who sat in the seats that day as a fan, didn't think this was as bad ? they were only outshot 10-6 in this one."
