THERE'S NO BAD TIME TO WHIP THE HUNS :

There's a great section in Shep Messing's book, The Education of an American Soccer Player, about the 1972 Olympics. It's mostly memorable for his moving account of the effects of the murder of the Israelis on other athletes. But he was also in goal for our match against West Germany, a game in which he had 63 saves in a 7-0 loss. Yes, 63 saves. Hopefully we've improved a little since then.
