The US Men’s National Soccer Team is the culmination of the top soccer players from the United States. Often referred to as USMNT, or Team USA, the US Men’s National Soccer Team has a history that dates back to 1885, but the Yanks wouldn’t play their first official international soccer match until 30 years later when the US defeated Sweden 3-2. The US Men’s National Soccer Team competes in Federation of Internationale De Football (soccer) Association, or FIFA matches as well as in CONCACAF confederation matches. On occasion the US Men’s National Soccer Team receives invitations to tournaments sponsored by other confederations like the CONMEBOL Copa America. For decades, the USMNT did not receive much support or achieve major success in international competitions. But following the 1994 World Cup, which was held in the United States, things began to change for the US Men’s National Soccer Team. The Yanks have qualified for every World Cup since then, and have made it out of the group stage in all but 2 of those World Cup’s. During that span some of the most iconic American soccer players in history emerged, including Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Brian McBride, Jozy Altidore, and Tim Howard.
