The 10 World Cup games that built US Soccer, from 1950 to today
CBS Sports has named the 10 World Cup games that shaped American soccer, and the list is a time machine through every era of the USMNT. Joe Gaetjens's 1–0 winner against England in 1950 sits at the top (1). Landon Donovan's stoppage-time strike against Algeria in 2010 is here too, alongside the 2002 run to the quarterfinals and the 1994 host-nation opener against Colombia. With your team already through Group D and eyeing the knockout rounds at home, the timing lands perfectly. These are the nights the program is chasing right now.
