WORLD CUP ’94 / DAILY REPORT
Midfielder John Harkes, who arrived recently from England but has yet to play a game with the U.S. team, said at halftime he was worried that the U.S. backline was appearing somewhat vulnerable.
“The way we are standing flat,” he said, “I fear that one ball over the top will get us.”
