Dutch students: Great sunny day at the old USNA lower field. Great side. Classy opponents. Great result. USCS 50-3! I still have their momento of the match - a wooden shoe, with aluminum studs, painted pink (they wore pink kit) .. Coach Gallion
Per Bob Wolf, USMC Coach: when contacted by a Major McWilliams Royal Marines for a tour in 1987 There was a match between the USMC Team and Royal Marines. [1]. The visitors also played our Combined Services team, photo here [2] and write up here [3]
I had Matt Godek make a Shanghai Cup trophy based on a competition they both had in the 1920’s. [4]
