World Cup Team Profile: USA

[@patchstein810]

I like how humble they are and realizing the talent of other countries. They will surprise themselves and the fans. Germany and USA will make it out the group.

[@nickvanreesch1236]

I'm from the netherlands and man, the USA were brilliant in 2014! I enjoyed their matches.

[@ElCap1van]

You Diver

[@fifadillon3819]

Thanks we appreciate your football too

[@zavinat9556]

I love the holland then

[@WalterAmorimRJ]

i am Brazilian but i luv to know that the americans are growing on the soccer and loving it each time more \☺/ ! congratulations US main team! good luck for ya here in my country!

[@spicospinglosende]

Bosnia is with You USA.Hope you win all the matches in your group.It will not be easy but USA does miracles.You have to me most quality and underrated team you can make it to semi-final or final definetly.Go USA

[@77atatme]

These videos are amazing, thanks for the hard work! Keep it up!

[@chewysuarez5170]

I'm from the U.S.A., and I'm very confident that SOME DAY SOON we'll win a world cup. Someday before 2050.

[@heyman9895]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ChrizzzyEGolf]

Hey Jacob, betcha we win in the next decade. Just look at all the young talent on its way.

[@luisenpairazaman]

Jacob Hamm Just dream you have to defeat other countries that are miles ahead from you like: Brazil, Argentina, Germany, England, France, Italy, Spain, Uruguay, Colombia, etc. You have to learn a lot

[@cswess7256]

Football/soccer is very well on its way if not already the second most popular sport among youth, basketball being first. The US already has an exceptional wave of talent coming through, and it is only gonna get better. Soooo many middle class americans (especially white ones) play soccer plus the hispanic population and thats mainly where our talent is coming from. However, I think the demographic we have to get playing soccer is lower class black america. So many of the US' ll best athletes are african american lower to middle class, and they really only play football (american football) and basketball. But we are well on our way to becoming a powerhouse in the sport. Just you wait. I expect a very strong showing from the team in 2026, that should be the first year we compete with the powerhouses at the wc.

[@AS-rf6rw]

I believe that usa will win the world cup maybe 2038 or 2042 cause they got third place in 1930 world cup

[@um1hito109]

US did pretty well in the WC 2014 and Tim Howard claimed the title of "God of Goalies"

[@XxSwiftCrossxX]

Nah its Neuer who got golden glove but Howard also did gr8. Same with Ochoa. Lots of gr8 keepers

[@shnickel1]

SwiftCross I thought that wasn't truly fair though. Neuer is the best goalie and he was on the best team, but he wasn't challenged very much, certainly not like Howard facing over 30 shots in one game. Not saying Howard earned it, but just saying.

[@XxSwiftCrossxX]

Good point but he still made great saves

[@knighttemplar3330]

shnickel1 was that the match against belgium ?

[@shnickel1]

Honda Dax Yes it was haha :).

[@THELIZMARH]

I really hope soccer/football becomes popular in the US.

[@LilShrooms]

Me too, I was born and raised in the US and I absolutely love the sport!

[@WinRing86]

It's definitely getting there

[@holychild2581]

bmorebruh They did beat Germany

[@holychild2581]

***** A new MLS team in Minnesota is coming soon, so hopefully it will start growing as soon as they play their first game.

[@smosh1348]

Holy Child I'll still wait for one in Milwaukee.

[@bengarcia1916]

Greetings from Mexico. As a fellow mexican, I can say we are cheering the U.S on! Viva USA! The USA vs german game is going to be awesome!

[@dpokein537]

"Do I think the US will win the world cup? No, Im Being Realistic here. Do I think the US has the ability to? Definitely."

[@azerefendizade6017]

I wonder what he means by that. P.S. I really think that the USA team can do better than they did in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. They can go further than just 1/8 finals (or Round of 16). They are capable of much more.

[@dannyvergaraaa]

Azer Efendizade we didn’t even qualify..... 😂

[@xxdavi95]

Danny Vergara for 2018

[@melvinnhn713]

DSO exactly

[@yurifrommw215]

What kind of logic is that

[@mchirino29]

I miss the World Cup😔

[@CosmicPegasus]

Glad Klinsman calls it football. :)

[@ojhda]

Klinsmann is from Germany, ofc he calls it football, why would he not?

[@CosmicPegasus]

ojhda My bad

[@RaveGreenIsTheColor]

Quite a few of us in the USA call it football now. Our players do as well.

[@CosmicPegasus]

Yes Donavan too?

[@CosmicPegasus]

I want to call it football but my buddies say, "that's a low scoring game". Yeah he's from Germany, but...wouldn't most of us Americans think he's talking about throwball?

[@sadak5472]

This is the World Cup anything can happen I'm not saying we're going to win but let's get out there and make some noise.

[@kunt9670]

Sry but stick to ur baseball mate

[@TheJbro765]

We are coming!

[@elsaeed747]

AMAZING fans !!!! Great fans !!! Good luck from Iran.

[@soccernicholas6]

if somehow we get past the group stage then we have to at least get to the quarterfinals because all the teams we are playing deserve that and more

[@josepires099]

The team as changed alot since then, and I don't want to be a "trash-talker" but I don't think U.S.A. will pass through the group but I think they will finally beat Ghan, I wish USA and all the other teams that are competing in the world cup good luck. :) Cheers From Portugal. No to Racism. Yes to Friendshio and Union.

[@weedwak]

Lhunannon Ramos Respect to you! Also, I just want to have faith in the team, and the players need faith in themselves.

[@josepires099]

Yes lets hope for a great world cup filled with energy and emotion.

[@pabspm]

José Ramos Love Portugal's style. Their world cup is coming soon :)

[@josepires099]

pabspm :)

[@ekbalam7077]

Mexico won the first Universitary or College American Football World Cup celebrated in Sweden, early this year 2014. Mexico 62-0 Sweden Mexico 53-0 Finland Mexico 55-0 China Final game: Mexico 14-6 Japan.

[@YesFunnyYes]

Go Team USA :)

[@frontwing67]

Good coach and a refreshing young team, I like how Jurgen searched for young talent instead of keeping "old" nonfit players. Despite of the tough group you guys are in, I hope you guys wil get far .

[@Jazztimuzzz]

Can't WAIT!!!!!

[@Cheong2006]

USA always produce good goalkeepers like Kasey Keller and Hop Solo.

[@lipecalietra]

Hope solo , mostly =D

[@joshthesoccerguytruong7817]

Tim howard

[@srcoolguy]

Mario Ng well the u.s. with over 4 million registered soccer players they had better produce a few good ones.

[@STAWSKINATOR]

Brad Friedel

[@cfcfan9976]

victor valdes...wait what?

[@JohnDoe-mv5ic]

USMT will come stronger next world cup and in Copa America. Klinsmann has transformed the mentality, tactics, also instilled discipline and unity within the team. Things can only get better as long as the MLS and youth development system are taken seriously.

[@anthonylong9067]

Ok at 1:40.....no. Columbus did not discover the US. There were inhabitants all across the americas WAAAY before he got there. And besides, he sailed around the caribbean. Oh the historical inaccuracies.

[@xanderprosqd968]

[@azerefendizade6017]

Good one, LOL!

[@lovingmontasoccer]

Jurgen Klinsman is a awesome guy, He was always a good striker for Germany national team, A nightmare for every defence.

[@asab4519]

Klinsmann is a good coach, but he will park the bus vs Germany and probably Portugal, Its hard to see them getting out of the group but if they don't lose to Portugal and get a win vs Ghana then they can make it out with 4 points and manage to go through on GD

[@asab4519]

Yes but it's hard to see him not playing defensively against Germany. The US beat Germany 4:3 because Germany were using their C team.

[@williamwilliams6358]

Asa Becker We most likely don't stand a chance, but on any given day any team can be victorious. Still, the US pales in comparison to Germany and Portugal when it comes to football (never calling it soccer, I don't care what my fellow Americans think).

[@thehomiebearfifa3528]

hope they can repeat 2002.

[@rogerarvizu5558]

I see it more like Us losses to Germany like 3 to 1, then ties with Portugal 1 to 1, and beats Ghana 1 to 0...US leaving with 3points

[@Apo_carl_ypse]

Roger Arvizu *4 points

[@AlGhaffar]

Solid team and they have Klinsi. US boys can do some damage, no doubt !

[@desfefe]

Yes, they can do some damage to themselves!

[@erkobra7123]

Good game USA, you played well. Greetings from Croatia

[@ezinwanwakama5057]

Excited to see Altidore play!!

[@FloRiva2]

It would be very difficult for the USA to get past the group stage but I think they can pull it off.This is the strongest usa squad ever but getting into the quater finals will be incredibly hard getting into the final four would be a very long long shot but anything can happen in the World Cup anything can happen in sports(miracle on ice) this isn't the first time the USA are underdogs and we embrace being the being underdogs.

[@slorg165]

Good to see soccer growing in my country, and that the US is going to Brazil. I'm fairly new to soccer myself. LETS GO, USA USA USA!!!

[@kevinvandorst]

Goodluck USA! Hope you are able to beat Portugal and Germany! Greetings and best of luck from the Netherlands.

[@kevinvandorst]

***** Best feeling ever, amazing party afterwards :)

[@overshot8331]

Good to see USA making progress

[@Rewruio]

I respect the USA I used to live there But.. I feel sad for them because if Ronaldo has a good day.... He'll tear the team apart

[@christ6438]

they make it!!!!! ronaldo? what a joke

[@fivenightatfedyspider4193]

christian hadaya messi is a joke

[@dannieboy541]

Abhishek Anand right

[@MAKEmoney56]

Klinsmann is a legend ,this should be interesting.

[@chubbywubby1138]

I can see us being eliminated easily in the group stage, but I know that we will put up a good fight. Bob Bradley had our team on the right path, and I don't think he should have been sacked. Although I don't agree with Klinsmann's match tactics, I respect what he has done so far. He has given the team a new image and has forced the team to develop its own footballing "identity." I like that he has completely overhauled the team and given us some young, fresh faces that can be huge talents in the future. I definitely see a better squad incoming for 2018.

[@ARKO942]

Tough group but no excuses. If this team hopes of being among the best in the world, they will eventually have to play the best in the world.

[@ameforlif]

Like ur comment, it's soo true

Van a ser la sorpresa del mundial.

[@SunHobbit]

Great Video much respect.

[@GURU235]

the 2002 USA team came so close to Quarter finals and even went toe to toe with Germany who ended up being the Champions that was the best USA National team but this group is belt for 2018 its a young USA side that Klinsmann wants to grow together USA Golden generation in the making

[@taftybufty]

Klinsmann is a Legend ♥

[@onelovesoccer7]

USA! USA! USA! can't wait for the World Cup to start. hoping we can make it out of the group.

[@steveallen8479]

Morning of Ghana game, I'm american and can't wait for this matchup! There are plenty of people who care about soccer (football) in this country when the World cup comes around. Hopefully if the US succeeds in this World Cup, the sport's popularity will skyrocket. Plus since the amount of international people coming to the US is always rising, this will help evolve the sport as well. But I do want soccer to become popular here! GO USA!!!

[@luis111138]

I can see the future of soccer in the U.S will become the most popular sport Why? Because it's a beautiful game.

[@THEREALSLAUSONBOY]

USA I LOVE YOU MY COUNTRY IS THE BEST IN MY EYES!!

[@KulinBan777]

im glad to see football grow in US, if it keeps growing like this in a few WC tournaments they might be able to win

[@xtaindion5077]

God bless u FIFA TV for open our eyes with this great videos but corruptions must eliminated.

[@rockyesposito7051]

I hope we can play spoiler. We are in a TOUGH group with Germany and Portugal! On top of that, Ghana is in our group, who always give us trouble. In the U.S. now, they televise the EPL and La Liga in HD every week, which is awesome. Waking up early on weekends watching real Football, LOL, awesome. I hope Italy does well also.

[@JakeMcaulay]

tim howard what a legend

[@archierichard5761]

Landon Donovan is the best American layer and he will score a lot of GOOOOOAAALLLLSSSS!!!!!!!!

[@PauloDiBoa]

He is not going to the world cup, unfortunately.

[@sonuji14]

you mean Clint Dempsey

[@714slugger]

He will score a lot of goals behind that microphone lol

[@scagannozelkurt1588]

Archie Richard Donovan the best American player and the one who scored the most goals in the MLS league was excluded because the German Coach of the U.S team is rooting for Germany. :D lol

[@lipecalietra]

Shamann Nahkhchuvan Football , above all other sports, friend, is about TEAM management. I'll give you guys examples : Luis Aragones cut out Raul Gonzales of the Spanish Team; Scolari, in 2002, cut out Romario from the BRAZILIAN TEAM ; Klinsmann put Kahn on the bench and in his place he put Lehmann. It's hard to deal with EGOS. Klinsmann is a coacho who is a master of building good Teams. Perhaps Donovan - i agree with you : the guy is a terrific player - didn't fit this kind of profile. Greetings from Brazil and i am rooting for the US National.

[@businessessentialsadvertis7018]

Wow Positive Coach lmao

[@pandapeep4275]

The USA did good in the World Cup, yay!

[@chackysbills5129]

Why not more about the team players?? It would be so much more helpful and ten fold more interesting.

[@jdog6552]

I really hope we do good this year!!!

[@anonymousdustin1333]

[@Sendmetothesky]

Goal against England scored by Haitian guy in '66. Highest attended and rated World Cup was in USA 1994, most tickets bought for World Cup every year are by Americans, and the popularity if soccer is rising. And also a lot of the biggest teams in the world are owned by Americans. We are coming for you down there in Brazil world!!!

[@NadalLuigielmaestro]

I don't care if America is not football[soccer] nation,but this players are all world class. They are competitive enough to be in a world cup. This players can beat any team. Of course they represent their country, but most importantly they represent football[soccer]. Respect them and support them when you see them playing. I am football[soccer] fan, and i only care about the quality of the players not the history of the country they are coming from.

[@therealshady8]

[@kameronbass1392]

U.S.A you can do it! Jurgen Klinsmann is gonna be a good coach too

[@MarquosXoloVanda]

I'm betting that USMNT will win a world cup before Mexico at the rate they're playing. I wish Mexico can step up and go pass the round of 16 and finish in third or second place.

[@MarquosXoloVanda]

bmorebruh Yes, it is greater than Mexico though. So U.S. might the first North American country to win a world cup.

[@cristianhuachi6981]

[@LuisMaldunadus]

+Cristian Huachi Now they are in semi finals

[@jordanchancey7611]

after seeing portugal today and the US beating Ghana, im feeling pretty hopeful as a USA fan

[@127films]

honestly i don't expect much from Portugal, if they were consistent they should have qualified in their group and shouldn't have resorted to the playoff games with sweden, That being said i think the US has a decent/fighting chance to possibly beat them or tie them, with obviously more of a defensive scheme and fighting for set pieces, with an emphasis on the latter. With Germany its obviously a different story since they have too many options, deep bench and are overall great, a tie would probably be too generous. This time around i think they can strongly secure a win to ghana, third time should be the charm

[@karunsagar1773]

'"strong organized defense" dude, we've never ever had that, its arguably the world's best counter attack overcoming a bad defense

[@dankoev2921]

I don't know about "world's best", but yeah. We gave up 35 goals in 20 World Cup games between 1990 and 2010, or 1.75 goals per game. If there's a tactical distinctive we're known for, it's a fast and effective counterattack.

[@karunsagar1773]

we actually have an amazing counter attack, we scramble well in defense and we have a really good counter attack

[@iCHAWY]

People seriously need to get over this soccer/football argument. It doesn't have any effect on the game and does nothing to change anything. It's just people being picky for no reason. Here's a fact: we didn't invent the word, we just use it. Stop acting like we are murderers because we use a word that was invented to describe a sport. It makes no difference at all. Stop being so sensitive. Anyways, rant over, GO USA!!! Our group is going to be so difficult, but it will make it that much more rewarding when we make it out.

[@Epimpin101]

It's crazy how much we have improved since we got our own pro league 20 years ago. I remember when I was young watching Soccer games on tv, and they would go to commercial in the middle of the game. Then just come back and hope nobody scored. And when the MLS first started they used to do the hockey style penalty kick shootouts. It was such a joke.

[@DevilNvM]

Vão conhecer o segundo país do futebol, estádios magnífico e cultura muito interessante, apesar de tantos problemas e ineficiência em algumas áreas, o show dentro das quatro linhas está garantido!

[@77atatme]

LETS GO AO! COYY! WE ARE GOING TO BRASIIIIIIIIIIIIL!

[@RandomDude1713]

I do say, Ghana will be our first victory. Portugal and Germany however will be tough and I think we can pull a win over Portugal. I just hope to hold a draw with Germany to advance.

[@jpimentel1207]

I don t think that usa is going to win germany and portugal. Its my opinion

[@RandomDude1713]

There is a chance against Portugal. Germany however doesn't look to good.

[@jpimentel1207]

I still think that usa can t beat portugal, maybe they can draw, but probaly usa is going to win gana. Im being realistic

[@RandomDude1713]

Being realistic would mean that you have taken in account that ANYTHING can happen.

[@jpimentel1207]

True

[@MIGU3L2K]

Yay Klinsmann!

[@Epimpin101]

I'm going to have nightmares about this game until at least next world cup. I still have nightmares of that German handball on the goal line in 2002. Why didn't Bradley just pass it to the sidelines? The agony of defeat in these games is more than the joy of winning.

[@arkeyn3831]

Will definitely be cheering on team USA!

[@チャーリーブラウン-w8l]

[@DrownTheGhosts]

Highlight of this qualifying campaign... Taking Panama out of the Intercontinental Play-Off in under the last 2 min. Panama needed the win to guarantee the match vs New Zealand, a tie if Mexico loosed. Panama was winning 1-0 until the last 2 minutes, thanks to that Bosnia-Herzegovina are the only debutants

[@jayked93]

usa is taking the cup this year and the captian is seattles sounders fcs own clint dempsey and they have some of the best players of the US so lets see whats done

[@DaejinTye]

Question! As someone who never watched soccer before... Is the "World Cup" series like a playoffs bracket, or is it it's own "league" system? I know there are like 8 groups of 4, then a bracket of 16 teams. I just don't know if the USA needed to win in order to get into the World Cup, or if the World Cup is its own thing and we just won our first match in it.

[@ElaborateTiger]

No disrespect to the US but I'd be very surprised if they manage to qualify over Portugal and Germany. Just Ghana by itself is a team that they have struggled against, Portugal and Germany should win with no trouble.

[@heppolo]

The USA soccer popularity owes a lot to their Women team enormous success. Stars like Hope Solo or Amy Wambach are more popular than Brian McBride or Landon Donovan.

[@javi7355]

Really hope the USA goes pass the round of 16 in the World Cup!

[@BasqueNYC]

They have done it before and will do it again,will they do it it for 2018? Too early to tell they havnt qualified yet and seem tone havnt trouble but let's hope it's just a small slip

[@Diannai127]

am like in the USA in north america north carolina and i never seen USA play in the world cup like I've seen Germany v brazil Germany v Argentina but never ever seen america in the finals just saw a match with USA v brazil in a year that i forgot so i feel really sad for my country losing i want to see them happy and proud so go USA but whenever USA loses i choose brazil or Germany am not german or anything which sucks. date: november 16 2014. time 9:16

[@aleksber9313]

Very Good Time Was That World Cup

[@bobfttw]

The U.S national team was alright. I respect the performance because by making it second out of the group they showed that organization and game plan can compete with talent. Costa Rica was an even better team devoid of the world class talent world beaters have and they made it to the quarter finals. Mexico was about as good as Costa Rica and whether they got robbed or not proved it. Hats off to the USMNT for showing that.

[@LawrenceNoiLartey]

I am Ghanaian by birth but I have to be objective and say that Ghana will not be lucky a third time against the U.S this time around . The Americans are so determined to beat Ghana that they have revitalized their team with foreigners with American eligibility. In their preparations towards the world cup, they have played a lot of friendlies and beaten countries like Germany, Brazil and the Netherlands, countries capable of winning it all. On the contrary, Ghana has played very few friendlies and lost 0-1 to the Netherlands whom the U. S beat by 4-2. Also, unlike their American counterparts who have had the most camping sessions in the soccer history.(Of course they have the money to make this possible) Ghana's preparations has been anything but satisfactory. A few days of camping in Accra and a few in the Netherlands and in Florida, US can hardly be called real preparation for a tournament of the level of the World Cup. It is undeniable the coach Jurgen Klinsman, himself one time world class player and a world cup veteran, has raised the standard of play by the US team and even hired the services of former German coach Vogt to assist him to plan different strategies to qualify from the first round. This preparation alone should make Ghana sit up and realize that this will be their toughest game yet against the Americans. In short the Americans are more prepared for the tournament the their Ghanaian counterparts and are more likely to qualify for the quarter-finals that Ghana and most probably the rest of the group G rivals.

[@HeelAlex17]

Im With Mexico Of Course, But Im Wishing The Whole Concacaf Teams to go to the Next Round Especially The U.S. Im predicting This: 1.Germany 2.USA 3.Portugal 4.Ghana

The highest temperature ever recorded belongs to Iran. You can just easily search it in Google. Also following was copied from wiki: Dasht-e Lut (Persian: کویر لوت‎, "Emptiness Desert"), also spelled Dasht-i-Lut and known as the Lut Desert, is a large salt desert in southeastern Kerman Iran and is the world's 25th largest desert. The surface of the sand there has been measured at temperatures as high as 70.7°C (159°F),[1][2] and it is one of the world's driest places.
