June 9, 1993 – U.S. 2:0 England, U.S. Cup, Foxboro Stadium (Att.: 37,236)/“Now we don’t have to talk about 1950 anymore”

This became the first U.S. victory over England since Joe Gaetjens’ goal provided a 1-0 result in the 1950 World Cup in Brazil. “Now we don’t have to talk about 1950 anymore,” U.S. Soccer Federation general secretary Hank Steinbrecher said after the game.

Kickoff was delayed seven minutes because of lightning, which also likely reduced the side of the crowd. Weather presented a greater threat to public safety than potential hooligan behavior, a major concern in anticipation of the 1994 World Cup.

Thomas Dooley (42^’ and Alexi Lalas (74^’) scored and Tony Meola saved twice on late Ian Wright breakaways. Three years later, Lalas would become a part of the inaugural New England Revolution team. The U.S. starting lineup included future Revolution coach Fernando Clavijo; plus John Harkes and Eric Wynalda, who would play for Clavijo on 2000 and ’01 Revolution teams; and current Revolution assistant coach Mike Lapper.

Jurgen Klinsmann (four goals) won the Golden Boot and Germany took the U.S. Cup title ahead of Brazil (future Boston City FC coach Palhinha in lineup), the U.S. finishing third, England fourth.

This was the first U.S. win in Foxborough, and the team would go on to compile a 7W-0L-3T record at Foxboro Stadium from 1991-2002. The U.S. has not defeated England since.
