Anything memorable in this group? Apart from the goals Czechoslovakia scored against USA, very little. Italy struggled terribly and Vicini had to make desperate changes in the striking line – the little known substitute Schillaci was the savior and gradually became the first choice. Czechoslovakia managed to reach its goal and took it easy against Italy. Austria… hard work does not pay off. USA – nothing really.
