The United States appeared in the first two World Cups in 1930 and 1934, then made an appearance in the 1950 before waiting 40 years to return to the world's stage in what is now four consecutive tournaments (1990, 1994, 1998 and 2002).

Two of the USA's greatest victories in World Cup play prior to 2002 include a 1-0 win over powerful England on June 29, 1950, on a goal by Hall of Famer Joe Gaetjens at Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and a 2-1 win over Colombia on June 2, 1994 with Earnie Stewart scoring the game-winner. The victory over England is still considered by many to be the greatest upset in World Cup History.

The 1990 World Cup marked the first time in 40 years that the U.S. team made it through the CONCACAF qualifying rounds. The U.S. squad captured the 24th and final position for Italia '90 by defeating Trinidad & Tobago 1-0 in the final match of CONCACAF qualifying on goal by Hall of Famer Paul Caligiuri.

As the host nation in 1994, the USA took U.S. Soccer one-step further by advancing to the Round of 16, losing a 1-0 match to eventual champion Brazil.
