Summary:U.S. Coach Bob Gansler looked on the bright side. "Sun's shining, let's not dwell on what happened," he said as he sent his team onto the field. Gansler was not so easy on [Eric Wynalda]. The coach said he had warned Wynalda at halftime that the referee would be watching him closely after his running battle with [Jozef Chovanec] in the first 45 minutes. Five minutes into the second half, Wynalda was sent off. He praised the U.S. players' "Marine spirit," but said their unarmed offensive attacks resulted in "collective suicide." He concluded, "The Czechs today are small stuff, but between their soccer and that of the Stars and Stripes there is a century of difference."
