US Soccer History

There’s much discussion going on about who will make the 2010 World Cup roster for the US Men’s National Soccer Team. I’ll leave 2010 for another day, but I thought it would be interesting to go through the US’s rosters for previous World Cups. Ahh memories.

Apologies for the crude formatting. I obviously cut and pasted from other websites…
