WATERFORD, Barbados (AP)
— Just 27 minutes from possible
World Cup elimination, the United
States finally broke through.
Clint Mathis scored the go-ahead
goal and Earnie Stewart, Gobi Jones
and Ante Razov tacked on scores as
the United States beat Barbados 4-0
Wednesday and advanced to next
year’s regional finals of qualifying
for the 2002 World Cup.
“You’ve got to give a lot of cred
it to Barbados,” Mathis said. “We
knew the conditions were going to be
a little bit rough. We were able to
fight back and keep our composure
and get some goals.”
For nearly three-quarters of the
game, the Americans flailed at their
shots, missing chances and letting
Barbados have breakaways that near
ly put the U.S. team behind. The
crowd of about 4,000 danced to ca
lypso music and cheered, sensing the
Bajan Rockets, ranked just 102nd in
the world, had the chance to upset the
United States, ranked 18th.
“For a while, it seemed like we
couldn't get a goal,” said U.S. goal
keeper Tony Meola, playing his first
qualifier since 1989.
Five minutes into the second half,
Barbados nearly scored, but Meola
managed to deflect a hard shot from
Llewellyn Riley. The rebound hit the
knee of defender Carlos Llamosa, then
hit the crossbar and bounced away.
“Maybe the play of the game is
Meola’s save,” said U.S. coach
Bruce Arena.
“We knew the
conditions were
going to be a little
bit rough. We
were able to fight
back and keep our
composure and

U.S. soccer team member
The Americans, who beat Barba
dos 7-0 in August at Foxboro, Mass.,
would have been eliminated if they
had failed to win because Guatemala
beat Costa Rica 2-1 in a game played
simultaneously.
Chris Klein appeared to put the
Americans (3-1-2) in front in the
58th minute when he put in a re
bound of a Moore shot, but referee
Noel Bynoe of Trinidad and Tobago
called Moore offsides. That was just
about the time the U.S. bench learned
Guatemala had taken a 1-0 lead.
“It could be one of those days,”
Arena said to himself.
Moore, who scored twice in the
win at Foxboro, picked up a pass
from Chris Armas in the comer of the
field a few minutes later, ran down the
end line and passed the ball back to
Mathis, who had a virtually open net
and scored from about six yards out.
“I just got the ball to Joe and let
him do all the work and just tried to
stand there,” Mathis said. “He just hit
me with the ball — I didn’t even
shoot it.”
Ten minutes later, Stewart seemed
to surprise the defense, taking a 17-
yard shot that beat goalkeeper Ho
race Stoute and went into the far up
per comer of the net.
Jones, who came in as a substitute
in the second half, scored off a pass
from Mathis in the 77th minute. Razov
added the last goal in the final minute.
“We thought we could get a goal
early,” said Barbados coach Horace
“Tobacco” Beckles. "It really did
just come down to fitness. We had
players who weren’t able to play the
full game.”
The United States, which has shut
out five straight opponents for the
first time, advances to next year’s fi
nals of qualifying in the North and
Central American and Caribbean re
gion along with Honduras. Jamaica,
Mexico and Trinidad and Tobago.
Costa Rica and Guatemala (3-2-
1) were even on all tiebreakers and
must play a one-game playoff to fill
out the field. The top thrfce teams in
the finals advance to the 2002 tour
nament in Japan and South Korea.
A rainbow appeared across Barba
dos National Stadium 10 minutes be
fore the game began. It quickly turned
into a cool and windy afternoon.
Both teams had problems with the
slippery, bumpy field, which created
bad bounces and breakaways.
Mathis had the best U.S. chance in
the first half, hitting the right post in
the 36th minute off a pass from Moore.
Barbados nearly got a goal in the
41st minute when Matthew Joseph
went downfield on a breakaway.
Ryan Lucas was open, with only Me
ola to beat, but the pass was just
ahead of him.

Texas Olympian strikes gold in New York
counciltravel.com
1-800-2COUNCIL
NEW YORK (AP) — It was not Sydney with
its opera house. It was Rockefeller Center, with a
huge Christmas tree in the background, where
Brandon Slay finally got his Olympic wrestling
gold medal.
Instead of thousands of spectators watching from
the stands, a couple hundred gathered behind barri
cades Wednesday, waving tiny American, South
Korean and Turkish flags, many in bizarre getups
designed to catch the television camera’s eye.
And the Olympic flame had long been extin
guished.
But this was historic because for the first time,
a full medal presentation ceremony was held out
side an Olympic venue.
“This is better than Sydney,” Slay said. “More
people, more Americans got to see it. It wasn’t 1
o’clock in the morning, it was on at a more rea
sonable time.”
Slay was awarded the gold in the 167 172-
pound class by the International Olympic Com
mittee, which had stripped the medal from Ger
many’s Alexander Leipold after he tested
positive for the steroid nandrolone.
"I have a feeling of relief,” said the 25-year-old
from Amarillo, Texas, who learned a month ago
that he would get the medal. “It’s a feeling of com
pletion, of closure.”
Slay was not pleased by what happened in Syd
ney, when he received a silver medal on the podium.
He lost 4-0 to Leipold on the final day of the
Games on Oct. 1. He complained afterward that
the referee had unfairly penalized him and had not
allowed him to wrestle properly.
Leipold told him on the podium not to feel bad
about not winning the gold because he was young
and still had two more Olympics ahead of him.
“I wanted it now,” said Slay. “I didn’t want to
wait four or eight years. But what really got to me,
he didn’t put his ami around me when he said it,
he patted me on the head. I felt demeaned.”
It was vastly different this time in a made-for-
TV ceremony that was aired on NBC’s “Today.”
TV weather reporter A1 Roker led Slay, silver-
medal winner Moon Eui-jae of South Korea and
bronze-medal, winner Adem Bereket of Turkey to
an Olympic-type podium set up in the street outside
the.show’s studio.
Moon finished third in the competition and
Bereket fourth, but they moved when Leipold
was disqualified.
