What made that 2002 squad so special was actually that "nothing to lose" mentality we had because not only was football much less popular than it is now, but this game aired in the middle of the night here in America. Unlike the other 31 countries in that tournament, the US wasn't facing the pressure of potentially letting down their whole country because pretty much nobody in the US was watching or cared at all. For that reason, the players went into the tournament with a mindset of "f**k it, nobody back home cares if we lose so let's just give it a shot!"

Esa selección de Estados Unidos a pesar de que ya eran bastante competitivos aún tenían jugadores poco hábiles con el balón en los pies, principalmente en defensa y su portero era poco confiable, pero su ataque era de respeto, Donovan 🫡 sin duda alguna un top 3 de la Concacaf en el siglo XXI junto a Rafa Márquez y Keylor, y bueno posteriormente crecieron mucho en todas sus líneas de juego, su gran momento fue entre 2008 y 2010, pero el mundial no se les dio, 2009 fue su punto más alto eliminando a España en Copa Confederaciones, gran generación, ahora deben tener su generación más talentosa, un buen DT los podría llevar lejos, tal vez no a ganar una copa del mundo, pero si a jugar una semifinal
