Moreover, it can be said that the United States is a well-deserved world hegemon and has been one of the most powerful countries for many years. The United States established its own football team very early and was one of the first countries to join FLFA.
The World Cup began at 1930, when the United States participated in the first World Cup and achieved good results. Although the United States participated in the World Cup earlier, it achieved the best results, that is, it won the third place in the first World Cup.
So far, the United States has participated in 1 1 World Cup. 1950 World Cup America10 beat England, which was a big surprise. Since then, the American football team has rarely entered the World Cup finals.
It was not until 40 years later that the United States entered the World Cup finals again. American citizens are not interested in traditional football, so they always perform poorly in the World Cup.
Until the 1970s, football was still highly valued in the United States. The national men's soccer team has developed rapidly and become an indispensable team in international football. From 65438 to 0990, the American football team participated in the World Cup seven times in a row, and successfully entered the World Cup quarter-finals in 2002.
Although football is not the most important sport in the United States, with the emphasis on football in recent years, the football strength of the whole team is growing, and as expected, this World Cup has the voice of the American team.

The history of American football team;
The United States participated in the first World Cup as early as 1930 and achieved the best results in the history of the World Cup. 1950, the United States beat England, the originator of modern football, in the World Cup, which was a big surprise. However, since 1950, American football has been far away from the World Cup, and it was not until forty years later that it entered the last week of the World Cup in Italy again.
In the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the United States beat its old enemy Mexico 2-0 in the final of18, and reached the quarterfinals in one fell swoop, creating the best record of the United States in the World Cup for half a century.
Because American nationals are not interested in football traditionally, the United States has been doing poorly in men's football. According to the survey during the 2006 World Cup in Germany, 56% of Americans did not know that the World Cup was being held. In this World Cup, the United States went out on the first lap with a score of 1, a draw and 2 losses, but the draw was the one that Italy, the champion of this World Cup, could not win.
The United States team is highly mobile and advocates a slow and steady assault tactic. Physical kicking often gives the opponent a fatal blow at the end of the game. Its excellent scientific training is the learning object of many teams.
Although football began to spread slowly in the United States in the 1970s, the national team of that country soon became a force to be reckoned with in international football. The United States participated in the last seven World Cups (1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 20/kloc-0, 20 14) and entered the quarter-finals in 2002.
In the qualifiers, the United States was invincible in Central and North America and the Caribbean. After advancing to the second stage with 7 wins/kloc-0-0 losses, the team scored 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses (including 2-0 victory over Mexico at home) and was able to advance to the World Cup finals in South Africa.

Dempsey, who plays for Fulham in the Premier League, Howard of Everton, etc. Are very powerful players. Together with players such as Oniu and Michael Bradley, this team has a strong fighting capacity.
It is worth mentioning that the United States always seems to improve its performance in the competition. Take the Confederations Cup in 2009 as an example. The team unexpectedly eliminated European champion Spain in the semi-final, which shows its strong competitiveness.
In the 20 10 World Cup in South Africa, the United States entered the semi-finals of 16 as the first in the group, but in the end 1/8 was eliminated by Ghana. The current head coach is Jurgen Klinsmann, a former famous German football player and coach.
The United States participated in the World Cup finals for the first time 10. From 1990 to 20 14, the United States has never missed a World Cup. Baseball, American football, ice hockey and basketball are the mainstream sports in this country, and the strength of football is getting stronger and stronger.
In the 20 14 World Cup qualifier in Brazil, the United States won the first place in Central and North America and the Caribbean, and successfully advanced to the World Cup finals.
According to the competition system, the US team started to participate in the third round as the seed team (12 team was divided into three groups, and the top two qualified), and the US team easily won the first qualifying of the group with 4 wins 1 draw 1 negative; In the fourth round (two rounds for 6 teams), the United States won 7 games 1 draw and lost 2, scored 8 goals 15, ranking first, and finally got the ticket to Brazil.

On June 6th, the American men's soccer team beat Mexico 3-2 in overtime and won the first national league championship in Central and North America and the Caribbean.
In March 2022, the final round of the preliminaries in North America and the Caribbean ended, and the United States directly advanced to the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. On April 2, the 2022 World Cup was drawn in groups, and the United States was divided into Group B. ..
