“When England last tackled the United States in a competitive international, the players changed in the bus on the way to the ground, the team was picked by the chairman of the Football Association and the opposition boasted a former baseball star in goal. The field of dreams for the US was the stuff of nightmares for England. That American keeper, Frank Borghi, eventually became an undertaker, fitting employment after helping lay to rest England’s 1950 World Cup ambition. England never recovered from that 1-0 embarrassment in Belo Horizonte and bowed out to Spain at the Maracana, again failing to trouble the scorers.” (Telegraph – Henry Winter)
