Beasley tries to dampen US hopes

United States star DaMarcus Beasley knows an expectant public back home thinks a repeat of 1950s World Cup heroics will be easy.

Victory over England in Rustenburg on Saturday would certainly make people sit up and take notice, and maybe create a longer lasting impression than was managed 60 years ago when Joe Gaetjens scored the only goal in one of the most sensational results in the tournament's history.

Beasley is aware life is not so simple and he said: "People back home have read about 1950 and think we beat them then so we can beat them now. But they are the people who don't know anything about football."
