‪Two days after earning his first cap, Eric Wynalda scored his first goal for the US. ‬

‪3’‬
‪This is a quality finish for the young striker after a great ball over the top.




‪Here is a video of the penalties.


‪This was always the first cap for Kasey Keller.‬

‪A mainstay between the sticks through the 1990s and into the early 2000s.‬

‪Must have been a tough debut to face all those penalties.‬
