Among those in attendance were many of the U.S. players. Some fans didn’t appear to recognize them at first, then noticed Cobi Jones and Alexi Lalas. Lalas was wearing his Detroit Red Wings hat, which never seems to leave his head except when he is playing soccer or the guitar.

Vice President Al Gore showed up again. The hot weather didn’t seem to bother Gore, who kept his suit jacket on the entire game.

Later Gore consoled Italian soccer federation president Antonio Matarrese and celebrated with the Brazilians, and President Clinton called and congratulated Parreira.
