Facts
- In recent years the United States have emerged as a force to be
reckoned with, qualifying for the last four FIFA World Cup finals.
The Americans reached the quarter-finals at Korea/Japan '02, losing
narrowly to the eventual runners-up Germany.
- The USA reached the semi-finals of the first FIFA World Cup in
1930, although only 13 teams took part. Argentina ended American
hopes with a 6-1 win.
- In 1948, the USA suffered their worst defeat, when they lost
11-0 to Norway in Oslo. Their best result came in 1993 when they
beat the Cayman Islands 8-1, watched by fewer than 4,000 fans.
