		A World Cup on American soil, the soccer-hating critics said, would be a dismal failure with the roster of international stars, virtually unknown to the U.S. audience, destined to play before half-empty stadiums.
		The 1994 tournament shattered World Cup records for total attendance (3,587,538 spectators) and average attendance per game (68,991) - Italy 1990 (2,517,348 total) and Brazil 1950 (60,773 average) were the previous record-holders.
		Thanks to the outlaw of the back pass and the introduction of three points for a victory, the defensive postures and the "afraid of losing" mentality that prevailed at the 1990 World Cup was nowhere to found in the U.S. as teams were committed to attacking and entertaining the American spectators.

		Between the 1990 World Cup and this one, FIFA had made the first major change to the rules of the game in decades.
