Following the tournament he left his native Buenos Aires for Italy, where he signed with Genoa. Two days later, Argentina’s Guillermo Stábile struck three times in a 6-3 defeat of Mexico, and for the next 76 years he was celebrated by FIFA as the man with the first World Cup hat trick.
Elsewhere, Gonsalves, Bart McGhee or even a Paraguayan defender was held responsible. FIFA agreed that Patenaude scored the first and third goals of the Americans’ 3-0 win on July 17, but Florie was credited with the second. Accounts of the action differed depending on the source. soccer authorities credited Patenaude with four goals overall, including three against Paraguay, word of his feat failed to spread. “Now they are settled again, ready to take up their favorite sport where they left off,” McGrath wrote, as if the games and goals in Uruguay occurred on fields in a parallel but irrelevant universe. And nowhere did it celebrate the fact that Fall River’s native son finished as the tournament’s third-leading scorer. Nowhere did it mention that Patenaude, a 20-year-old American, was the first man to tally a World Cup hat trick. Nowhere did the Herald News story reference the three World Cup goals Patenaude scored against Paraguay at Parque Central in Montevideo, where the U.S. In another, a dispute following an apparent goal by Tom Florie resulted in a pitch invasion by frustrated fans who “specialize in hissing”. put the ball in the opposition net six times, only to see a “partisan” referee rule out three. In one post-World Cup exhibition, the U.S. McGrath mentioned the “hostile crowds” in South America and the “rough play of their opponents,” and lamented the injury to goalkeeper Jimmy Douglas that marred the semifinal loss to Argentina. Regarding the trip south, it was noted that Patenaude called Gonsalves “the outstanding player on the United States team,” but “would say nothing concerning his own playing, outside of the fact that he did his best.” The pair “have been kept on the hop greeting their friends,” wrote McGrath, who also delved into the players’ future with the Fall River Marksmen, the local American Soccer League juggernaut that was about to embark on a European tour. Patenaude and Gonsalves were so eager to get home that they took a train and then a bus from Providence rather than wait for the boat from New York. “Not that they didn’t enjoy the trip, for they had a great time, but the happiest moment for the two youngsters since they left New York on June 13 was when they hopped from the bus here late Tuesday night.” The Dallas Daily News noted that the game only offered three female soccer stars to play as, but they appreciated the game's replay value: "There is enough substance to keep you coming back.“Take it from both of them, they’re mighty glad to be back,” he reported. The game also offers a two-player mode on a single computer where one player uses the mouse to control their team and the other uses the keyboard.
