Bruce Arena: Firing the lads up

June 5th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanR

(To get you excited for the World Cup (if that is even possible, we’re hoping it is) we’ll be rolling out one World Cup related video a day until the whole thing kicks off Friday in Germany.)

So, the American footballers reached the quarterfinals in the 2002 World Cup, ousting our neighbors to the south, Mexico, 2-0 to get there. It was our best finish since – wait for it - 1930.

USA! USA!
