Found this video from this US Cup game in 1992. Go to http://www.ussoccer.com/sights/video/index.jsp.html and click on "Center Circle: May 2006". A lot has changed in 14 years.

Did you hear the Irish music been played in the backround while the Irish line up is being shown and the soccer commentators calling the kits "uniforms"

Brilliant stuff :)

yes it is


didn't packie bonner get sent off in a match in this tourney?Against Italy where the ref was called Corleone or something. :rolleyes: I was at that tournament. Good trip despite the scores and it seemed that the players were distracted by off the field temptations. 2-0 win over Portugal - which included Figo and others from the golden generation - in Boston undoubtedly the highlight.

Quinny, Liam Daish and Mick McCarthy were sent off in the 1996 tournament. Packie Bonner was sent off in the 1992 tournament. In both cases, the officaldom was remarkably incompentent. I think (and I may be biased here) that the ref who sent Packie off wasn't even in the same half and called it wrong. The Mexico game obviously needs no further explanation. :eek:

that ref was demoted after that mexico game in '96 (giant's stadium if i recall). irish fans singing "INS" to the mexican fans as well, irony perhaps lost on them? :D

yes, of course it was 4-5-1, i was referring to the terrible presentation of the starting lineups by the US television network.
