For Lalas, one of his big tests was his hair. The 96-cap

For Lalas, one of his big tests was his hair. The 96-cap defender's flowing golden locks and long beard would become synonymous with the US side during the World Cup of 1994, but his image drew Milutinovic's attention when he was first drawing up plans for the squad.

"I had really long hair and I remember we were in Phoenix, Arizona and Bora's assistant pulled me aside and said: 'Bora wants you to cut your hair,'" Lalas says.

"I was irritated and I started ranting and raving about 'this is America' and individualism and 'this isn't right'. But the fact is, I'd have done anything to be on that team. I remember walking down the street to the local barbershop and cutting my hair.

"We had a meeting that night and it was the first time Bora saw me [since the haircut]. He walked in, just acknowledged me in the form of nodding his head and carried on. That was a year and a half before the World Cup and he never said another thing about my hair or how I looked because at that moment, I had passed that test.

"He wanted to see because he knew, for me, hair was important. From that moment on, I grew my hair out and grew my goatee. If I had to make that sacrifice then, I was going to come back with a vengeance."
