"Soccer, USA vs. Italy, Rose Bowl, Pasadena. Soccer surprisingly proved to be a very popular sport during these Olympics, with the Rose Bowl selling out many times, despite having a seating capacity of over 100,000 and Americans' usual lack of enthusiasm for the sport. This success led to the US' desire to host the World Cup in 1994, which it of course did. The Rose Bowl was also the stadium for the final game deciding the 1st place winner of the 1994 World Cup."
For the record, I actually have this game on video tape. Good game. Something about the innocence of the sport back then and our players is great. Yes, nowadays, league soccer may sometimes leave something to be desired actually as it is commercial with overpaid primadonnas.
The video itself is when the network chose to air the game but didn't even use announcers as it has done a few times with NFL teams.
