The United States men’s national soccer team has a rich history
dating back to the early twentieth century. The team, along with the
sport, toiled in obscurity for decades but found its breakthrough
moment in 1989 when the United States qualified for its first World
Cup in 40 years. Since then the team has been on an upswing, putting
together many gritty performances and shocking upsets. In A History of
the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team, Clemente A. Lisi recounts the
team’s significant achievements and history-making moments,
including its decisive 1991 Gold Cup victory, quarterfinal appearance
at the 2002 World Cup, and memorable performance at the 2009
Confederations Cup. Beginning with the formation of the national team
in the early twentieth century and continuing up through the 2016 Copa
America Centenario, each chapter includes game descriptions,
fascinating background stories, and profiles of notable players from
the era. A History of the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team features
vintage photographs and exclusive player interviews that bring the
struggles and triumphs of the national team to life. Including
little-known stories from the team’s early years and details from
its recent past, this book will entertain and inform soccer fans of
all generations.
