4K render of the groupstage match between Portugal and the USA Date: 05-06-2002 Local Time: 18:00 Location: Suwon World Cup Stadion, Suwon Attandence: 37.306
It's genuinely charming to see how nervous the US looked in this first game. Goes to show, the right amount of pressure brings out the best in quality players.
I remember my impression about 1st half of this game. I was really surprised because of USA's speed. I never thought America can play like here. Goal#3 perfect. Future of football I thought. 2nd half brought me back to Earth. I dont understand the reason but when someone asks me about the best game I saw, my answer 1st half of USA Portugal 2002.
@@ThrE3-GeS That's exactly the other way. USA and their superiority complex, always thinking they're the centre of the universe hahahaha. You two give it a rest.
I believe that is Jack Edwards who did the commentary here. But good luck having him doing World Cup games again as he's the dedicated commentator for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League.
This was supposed to be the greatest Portuguese team of all time. And they crashed out against the US and South Korea at the group stage. Talk about underperforming.
Oh yes .. A wonderful team with great players but losing matches in a disappointing manner .. Two years later they failed to win the euro 2004 losing not once but twice against Greece ..
They would have been better in 1998 when Figo and Rui Costa were at their physical prime, somehow they managed to mess up qualification losing to an average German side.
@@ThrE3-GeS South Korea didn't start benefitting from wrong and controversial calls until after the group stage. Portugal lost the opening game to the US and then even lost to South Korea.
4K didn’t exist at that point, I think this was the first major event filmed in 1080i, and I think the HD feeds were only available in Korea and Japan (this is of course the Korean feed with American commentary over it)
Pauleta was great lol, this match portugal were just all over the place, even the goalkeeper which is considered the best Portuguese keeper ever had one of the worst matches of his career here
Pauleta was amazing. Portugal didn't have "that killer edge" because they never won anything. You'll find most teams who never won anything on the international level never have "the killer edge". It's a process to be confident on the international stage, and that's it.
The fact that Portugal could not beat the US in two only World Cup meetings so far said something about Portugal, they looked ruggish, struggling and poorly organised. And that's against a country where baseball and basketball dominated.
3-0 in the first half.... To date one of the greatest feelings as a US Soccer fan.
hi best world cup of this century fo u please
hard dto say for me
2002 was so special best one worst one ???
The quality is INSANE
This has to be the greatest generations of American players of all time, in that World Cup they also give us an amazing match against Germany.

Quality players lol. they all played in amateur league mls
And less than a year after 9-11

USA yes, don't say "America" because America is a whole continent, not a country.
@@Memorh19 Give it a rest. USA is called America all over the world.
@@GozarianGozar south americans and their minority complex ^^

Quality is superawesome🤩Like this past WC is just happening right now in a parallel reality😂
what a picture quality is so clear!!! it's 21 year ago.. then i was in korea, now i'm in la. time is fly.
" pinch me .. I'm dreaming "
I can still remember the commentator's quote right after USA's third goal ..
Couldn’t get up early enough to see this from the start; tuned in a couple minutes before goal #3.
Keep going hero, we want all the matches of the 2002 World Cup and the 2006 World Cup 4k
We need these commentators back in US soccer or MLS asap! God bless everyone always..

No one has ever asked to be TyJacked before.
Jack Edwards was a great perfect Soccer broadcaster
An absolutely blatant homer of an announcer...which is exactly why he was so perfect for this

the South Korea game was robbed. everybody knows it.
@@ronniep9272 It was a very old German side that did horribly at the World Cup and then would completely collapse right after.

Really hope you do more of USA in the 02 World Cup

2002년 한일 월드컵부터 경기장의 신기원이 열린거다.그 이전의 경기장과는 차원이다른 경기장들이엇다.
What a game!
Brian McBride IS THE GREATEST AMERICAN PLAYER OF ALL TIME!
bro where do u find these 4k videos?
its fake 4k, the source is 1080i HD
4K didn’t exist at that point, I think this was the first major event filmed in 1080i, and I think the HD feeds were only available in Korea and Japan (this is of course the Korean feed with American commentary over it)
@@bretlir1998 world cup japan games were filmed in analog hd
Chance after chance for both teams
Portugal always lacked that killer edge, a top class striker. Pauleta was not good enough.
Pauleta was great lol, this match portugal were just all over the place, even the goalkeeper which is considered the best Portuguese keeper ever had one of the worst matches of his career here

Whose Commentary is this???
Jack Edwards haha
Wait a minute thats ESPN commentary i never knew that america now got Lionel Messi aka the goat!!!
1-0 John O’Brien (4 min)
2-0 Jorge Costa (30 min (OG))
3-0 Brian McBride (36 min)
3-1 Beto (39 min)
3-2 Jeff Agoos (71 min (OG))
CR was only 17 at the time, lol imagine if he was on the squad
Who scored the second goal? He looks like Mel Gibson
Both respective 2nd goals were own goals, I'm going to assume you mean the 3rd goal from the US, Brian McBride
McBride was a beast
This is an absolutely excellent game. These guys had something that our current team definitely doesn't.
Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹 7 Siuuuuuu😭

England hasn't beat the US in three world cup matches, but US has beat England
🇺🇸
Baia was disaster this game
3-0 and then Agoof went to work and tried his best to win it for Portugal.
SBS = KOREA Rep. Broadcast
Pauleta one of the worst strikers to play in a world cup
Jednym z lepszych strzelił 4 bramki
