WORLD CUP USA ’94 / THE FINAL : Spotlight : GLAD WE WEREN’T THERE
<i> Daily Telegraph</i> of London
“It has been a most agreeable World Cup. . . . Even the absence of England has, against all expectations, turned out to be a blessing. . . .
“For the first time since 1978, English football lovers have been able to settle down to watch a game without wondering what new ways their team would contrive to eliminate themselves from the competition. Nor have news bulletins brought still more shameful tidings of hooligan excess. The pain has gone and in its place has come appreciation.”
