NOW TRY Quiz! Can you name the England line-up from the 1998 World Cup match against Tunisia?

Two World Cups in a row now, the Italians haven't qualified. That would have been unthinkable just 16 years ago.

2006 was a pinnacle for the Azzurri – of course, one of four times that they've reached the summit of world football. But only once in the entirety of the 2006 World Cup did the Italian fail to beat their opponents – that was against the United States. 

The score that day in Kaiserslautern was 1-1. There three red cards in this one – one for Italy, two for the US – but Stars and Stripes keeper Kasey Keller was on fire in goal, picking up the man of the match award after the match for keeping the champions-elect at bay. 

This was a classic US line-up featuring Eddie Pope, Clint Dempsey, Claudio Reyna and Landon Donovan… but who featured on the opposite side?
