US World Cup Squads
The United States National Team has appeared in eleven World Cups. In the first World Cup, the US finished fourth, their best finish in the competition. In 1934, there was no group stage and the US were knocked out by hosts Italy in the opening round. The US missed the 1938 World Cup, qualifying for the next final when the tournament resumed in 1950.
The 1950 Cup is remembered for the shock upset of England – a country that had opted against participating in any previous World Cups. The US would fail to qualify for the next nine World Cup finals, a gulf that included the entire run of the North American Soccer League.
Returning for the first time in forty years for Italia ’90, the US were impressive against Italy fielding a young side. Hosting in ’94, they advanced to the first knockout stage on a unique wildcard rule after finishing third in their group, tying Switzerland and beating Colombia. The US would lose to eventual champions Brazil 1-0 to exit the tournament. In 1998, the US finished last in the field of 32 in France. Suffering from internal disagreements and a tough draw, the US went three and out losing to Germany, Iran, and Yu

The legacy
When nations qualify for a World Cup, FIFA distributes funding to all qualified governing bodies, and a further amount is granted for a side’s participation in the group stages. In2010, the board of New Zealand Football invested a percentage of New Zealand’s allocation to create a legacy fund.
The vision was that this fund would support New Zealand football for years to come. The New Zealand Football Foundation was born.
Since its creation, the New Zealand Football Foundation has invested the initial $4 million of funding, growing it to $6 million, and since2010 has granted across the country $1.8 million in community grants – ensuring the legacy of the 2010 side develops and deepens as the years pass.
The 2010 team helped us begin our mission of using Football For Good, supporting and sustaining local initiatives which will benefit our players, coaches, parents, fans, facilities… our communities. On behalf of football in New Zealand we are so grateful to the2010 All Whites for their talent, tenacity, and belief.
The path they helped pave in South Africa is the same one the Foundation continues to
