This was probably the best USA team ever so far. They beat Portugal 3-2 in group stage.
bambang303378 yup. And that Portugal team had Figo in his prime
Bernardo Hernandez And Rui Costa
Against portuguese golden generations
As well as dominating Mexico. Not a common result.
Yes the best USA team in the modern era
I still shake my head in disbelief over the handball no-call, lol.
It’s only fitting that it was Greggs chance on goal too lol it still hurts
If VAR existed back then…. We’d have been in the Semis
TRUE
@@CoheedBlood TRUE
@@CoheedBlood at least we'd have a chance in extra time for sure
Best USA National Team in history!

1:37 Now I understand why Germans cried that Frings was suspended for Semifinal against Italy in 2006: He is a great Goalkeeper!
I saw the match life on TV and I was really surprised that everyone could see Frings handball, but it wasn’t even mentioned by the commentator...
Mano clarisima, igual q la q ello hicieron vs mejico
This was a golden era from for America football
Imagine a young Donovan with Pulisic right now. The magic they could make
you mean american soccer.
Mehdi Bet23 no football
zr 06 football
"America football" i think of John Elway, Terrell Davis, Steve Young, Al Davis...
Arguably the best game ever played by TEAM USA. For 90 minutes our boys played like a world class powerhouse. Friedel came so close to stopping that header, and yes, we got robbed. That ball was definitely in, but that is life. I just wish I could see our boys play with that effort, that passion, that pride in the red, white and blue again.
It's hard to play with pride when your fans are whiners, making up excuses that defy regular eyesight.
@@japphan how do you mean? It was a hand ball clear as day.
@@dw3850
His hand was in a natural position.
He didn't move the hand to the ball.
He didn't have time to react in the chaos to move the hand away.
This means that it was _not_ a handball, even though it touched his hand.
@@japphan Nope, not buying. Seen hand balls called for a lot less that weren't even heading into the goal. Ref simply didn't see it, that's all that can be surmised.
@@dw3850
Then you have seen incorrect rulings on hand ball. It is a common referee mistake, so I don't blame you for not knowing the correct ruling.
It's a shame how Klinsmann excluded Landon Donovan from WC2014 squad. Symbol of the national team for whole decade.
And then Wondolowski ended up missing that sitter. If it was Donovan it would have been a goal.
It wasn’t penalty bro
@@hectorestrada7264 yes it was bruh
Yeah, leaving off Donovan was wrong...was he the same player, no, but it didn't make sense not to take him.
@@dw3850 wait why wasn’t he on the team that year?
I am Mexican and I must say that USA National Team in The 2002 World Cup Impressed me. They really played as a team, it was scary to play with them and they almost beat Germany, they were able to go to the semifinals
Tbh as a Mexican this USA team was one of the best ones.
Yep, that's definitely been our best squad.
USA lost to Poland.
@@azeca0025 And USA beat Mexico. 😂
@@IeldudeI and Mexico has beaten you more times. 😂
did you see that handball
I sure as hell did alright, btw, which Bundesliga club did Torsten Frings play for during his career? Was it Werder Bremen? I forgot which one (I am a casual VfL Wolfsburg fan).
Werder Bremen.
1:19 penalty
+Felipe T. García
I'm more likely to see that shot go in because of the final camera angle! 😲
everybody complains about South Korea was helped in this world cup! but nobody says shit about that handball of Germany in this match! USA was ROBBED!
Hard to say that the U.S would've won the game had the handball been called. But assuming they did, they could've beaten South Korea and then made the finals against Brazil. I doubt they win the final because of who was leading Brazil, but it would've been a remarkable run.
Usa could beat Brazil？
Are you joking?😅
@jude63294 did you even read the comment
Of course they would've won the game. Its a red card.. germany would've been down to 10 men
Donovan was untouchable. What an amazing save by Khan and what a play from Donovan.
It doesn't matter which World Cup match you watch. Klose is always there!
Reina y donovan eran unos crack !!
at 1:40 you can hear the crowd chant bull-shit
It's an American thing every time there's a bad call or non-call, and that clearly was. Penalty and red card for that handball.
@@Ramboost007 To be fair now, we did something quite similar in the Mexico match
The first FIFA World Cup I can remember :-)
Little tiny so
i remember this cause of ronaldo comeback and korea scandal
USA played against Kahn, Germany was practicaly invisible...
And still have them a match
and ballack
One of worst germany ever. 7 month before they lost home again England 5-1.
and yet they still got robbed against this invincible Germany
And Frings! He was a great assistant GK
USA had this game. Should of been a penalty
*have
Niemals 😁
No. You don't understand the rules of the game. It was not handball.
DannyBoy777777 I do understand little Danny, his hand was extended enough to block the ball from going in. That’s a penalty.
@@SpaceAce1993 I'm 6ft 5. It wasnt "extended" at all. Look up the definition. It was by his side. People don't posture as toy soldiers with arms glued to their sides. No penalty.
The US really overachieved at this cup.....they only seemed outclassed against Poland.
@Kyle Lurz Not really, because if there were a draw in the match Korea-Portugal or 1-goal difference victory for Portugal, American team would be the 3rd. But I must admit that the USA was really great.
They underestimated poland.
Bohdan K It repeated in 2014 World Cup
Best USA team
no 1930 was the best team
mr CC90 φ How?
This German side is really impressive. They were such an average team and basically had only Ballack in the midfield and a giant of a goalkeeper in Kahn. Literally the best performance by a goalkeeper in a WC. Most Germans say that playing the final was never in their wildest imagination with a team like that. Yet they went all the way to the final and in a sense brought German football back after a decade of failures.
the US would've equalised with a pen had the assistant ref not been blind
"Most Germans say that playing the final was never in their wildest imagination with a team like that."
Like me, lol. The had the nickname "Rudis Rumpeltruppe". Rudi Völler in combination with a garbage troop. How true.
@@narrow3601 Well, there's always a chance of a pen being saved.
Until Kahn f'd up Ronaldo's first goal in the final
@@TheChubbyPigeon and since it was Kahn...
I love this era of football. Teams didnt parked the Bus or did any of that Catennacio and ball hoarding like they do Post 2010
Trapattoni used Zona Mista, a catenaccio that mixed with zonal marking
One of the most significant matches in US football history, the Yanks almost got the better of the powerful Germans at the 2002 World Cup.
World Cup Highlights: Germany - USA, Korea/Japan 2002
FIFATV The yanks! Yeah! Well said, thats what they are because Americans are anybody born in America, which is a CONTINENT, not a country!
The "powerful" germans I didnt see in this tournament. They were exhausted and had some luck.
Compare this to how the US was basically a punching bag against Belgium...maybe having Bruce Arena back as coach is what we need, because this team was a lot more exciting to watch than anything Klinsmann put on the field.
What's up with the idiotic "America is a continent, so you have to change what people from your country have called themselves for 250 years" comment? On a soccer video?
so its okay to keep on making the same MISTAKE forever? Man, you are so MEDIOCRE.
But like always... The germans have luck in tournaments..... another german
La mejor selección de USA en la historia. Fútbol rápido, efectivo y un despliegue físico impresionante. Alemania que fue finalista, se salvó. Lastima que USA no puedo continuar con esa progresión
Well its very different now
If then VAR system had been fuctioned as Worldcup rule, Match score might be changed.
The whole tournament would probably have changed drastically because the referees were so terrible in this world cup!
1:31, blatant handball, easy penalty call in todays technoly goaline review, can we get a big r.i.p for no goal line technology that game.
penalty and a send-off! such a shame.
Fue una gran selección de estados unidos en ésa epoca debió haber ganado en ése partido
Alemania es superior
El arbitraje le favoreció a Alemania para que llegase a la final
@@fabriciocastelozeta4335 puede ser pero no en este partido porque yo vi el juego y aparte de que el árbitro les favoreció tenían a kan fuera de eso no tenían mayores ventajas contra una selección de Estados Unidos muy buena jugando colectivamente
@@ChunStereo eso siempre dicen cada vez que pierden
fue mano la que evito que esa pelota entrara
0:04 South Koreans cheering for the allied nation US
Yeah prob because they either from there or they want USA to face them so it could be easier for them not to play getmany
SJ Soccer11 No it’s for political reasons. The US helped the south during the Korean War.
Dam USA had great chances, they redeemed themselves after 4 years ago when they got owned by them in 98 wc
How much do you want to carry a team?
Kahn & Ballack: "Yes"
At 1:39, it is a clear handball from the defender that prevents the ball from going in.
TRUE
Partidazo de USA debio ganarlo y debieron darle ese gol q le choca en la mano al defensa alemán
Ese equipo de estados unidos jugaba excelente ahora con el var creo que hubieran llegado mas lejos.
La mano es de Torsten Frings ...
No fue penal porque la mano es casual.
@@daviddyj8704 que tiene que ver,encima ni la tiene pegada al cuerpo
@@nachicorrea7503 Como que tiene que ver? Sabes de fútbol vos? La pelota le da en la mano, en ningún momento busca acomodarla o sacarla de ahí... Es una mano casual, no es penal.
Germany getting away with a sneaky handball off the line.
@Hairizal Dahrin Nah, not the same. USA ball was literally going into the goal. In the Mex game, that would have been a reach to call a penalty, ball not even headed toward goal or anything...it even looked like O'Brien's arm might have been caught over the Mex shoulder forcing it into the ball accidentally.
usa had more opportunities to score
Donovan era muito bom!
Excelente jogador 👏
Should be named ,,Kahn vs USA". This match made him invincible, if he wasn't already invincible before.
La mejor seleccion de futbol que a tenido USA en la historia. Falto' en ese equipo Alexis Lalas " 3"
This was USA best squad in WC, they only didn’t qualified because of Kanh saves, and refree helping Germany.
Ballack ♥️♥️ The legend 🇩🇪🇩🇪
Donovan foi um dos melhores jogadores de sua época o melhor jogador americano da história de seu país.
Foi o melhor com certeza ate a chegada do Christian Pulisic. O guri e muito bom.. Ainda e bem novo, mais o talento e o melhor que ja vi nos Estados Unidos
Американцы сильнее чем турки были на том чемпионате ))
@@RDSports5 Pra mim o Donovan ainda foi melhor, o Pulisic tem tempo ainda.
@@user-fn2ko5hg5f Да, они могли бы выйти в финал, но вряд ли они вышли бы за пределы Испании или Италии (тот кубок был скандалом)
@@szveszs Com certeza, so tem 21 anos, toda carrera ainda pela frente. Mais em termos de puro talento, ele e mais talentoso pra mim do que o Donovan. O Pulisic pode pegar a bola e atacar dois jogadores e vencer, onde o Donovan nao tinha abilidade no dribli para manter o posse da bola entre varios defensores. Na verdade, pra mim o Dempsey era mais talentoso nesse aspecto tambem, o cara tinha ginga, e isso que o Estados Unidos sempre faltava. Agora eles tem muito mais abilidade tecnica, e com varios jogadores, nao so um que outro
Can’t believe the US didn’t get the equalizer, I was 21 at the time and I legit think I’ll go the rest of my life and never see a USA team get as close to the semi finals as this.
sflowers539 I hope we will do better and reach then semifinal with this Gold Generation that we have I hope we surpass and be a better team that 2002 tough task but we will see crazy how now our #10 could be Claudio Reynas son
2022 might be a different US Team. We’ll see
Gotta believe! Gotta believe! Win, lose or draw, I'm a USMNT fan for life through all the ups and downs!
I dont know i think the players we got now can do it this gen
hoping for pulisic to carry usmnt to the semis or even finals, very difficult tho.
1:39...👋⚽ 😵
Not just the best USA team ever but also one of the very best national teams to ever grace the field. They were basically playing a more rugged style of total football, each one of them ran through each and every blade of grass on the field. It's the epitome of playing like a well oiled machine, not a single player above the rest, no one star that everyone would be looking at and assisting to get goals, just all the parts of the system working together and doing their part to create a squad that although wasn't powerhouse definitely played like they were.
One of the best national teams ever? Dude, you're in la la land.......
@@lordflash4312he’s talking about USA national teams
@@TrueMoo87 I know.....the attribute "well-oiled" machine and the USMNT have NEVER been a thing....ever
I was 13 and watched every USA game in this World Cup except for this one! Because it was on when I had school. I remember getting up 3-4 in the morning to watch their games lol when I heard and then saw that they got robbed I was heartbroken. They said we had all the momentum and could’ve had a great chance to win in extra time. Hopefully we can make some noise as a young team in this World Cup, because 2002 was one of the best US teams!
1:41 when the time with no VAR
Agonizing to watch this match live... so many chances for the US. Now we can't beat Trinidad.
Sean in the qualifying round before the hex they beat T&T 6-0. If not for a own goal in the final game of the hex the U.S. qualify’s for Russia
I get tired of reading comments from youngsters talking about how great today’s squad is. It isn’t even close. The 2002 squad would mop the floor with today’s team.
FIFA fixed the match they didn’t want to see USA vs South Korea semi final
Alberto Ledo.....THANK YOU! MY POINT EXACTLY! BUT THESE SO CALLED SOCCER FANS DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH BROTHER! YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY JUST DROPPED THE 🎤✌.
they didn't wanna see Italy vs Spain and the winner of that match against USA
@@narrow3601 Either way....USA being in the Semi-Finals would've flipped that whole tournament upside down bro 😂😂😂😂
@@narrow3601 did Vieri get paid for missed a tap-in at the end of 2nd half?
USA and Korea are two large wealthy nations, why would FIFA not want them in the semifinals?
USA was really robbed in this match... world cup used to be a robbery scene against the underdog teams since 2002 by far...
Nostalgic 2002 legend world cup history world.road to world cup 2022 qatar 21 november 2022-18 december 2022 world
That's a hand ball every time in today's game.
Some refs have the guts to make big calls, others just turn the other way, bad luck that night
In this match, the Germans wore a black armband on their right arms as a sign of mourning, as footballer Fritz Walter, who led the German team to win the first world title in 1954, died on the eve of the game.
If the VAR there in 2002 world cup, USA could go to the Semifinal against South Korea and make the final with Brazil... This 1:23 was penalty- Kick for USA.
if var was at 2002 Korea would t win Italy and Spain
The US would have gotten wrecked by Italy if Var was in 2002.
USA Vs Oliver Khan
They were robbed. Clear handball on the line.
Germany was so lucky in this tournament
They had such an easy run the Quarter Final between England and Brazil was the real World Cup final that tournament
nahhh
@Reuben It's crazy because had Beckham not scored that screamer goal against Greece in qualifiers to qualify directly for this World Cup, England would've had Germany's path and probably would've made it to the final with relative ease. They just had the misfortune of facing Brazil in QF's.
WC var must penalty,handball
VAR into the past and USA is a semifinalist in the WC.
Omg, that handball 1:36
2002 WC team is is the best US national team. This was such a tough loss
And then they say neuer is better than kahn...
Torsten Frings even better imo.
Watch the game vs Algeria 2014, then you know why.
He is.
Zimbabwe!
Clear hand ball not called, was a goal and the hand stop it wow
@Curtis Rupp Donovan is one of the most clutch world cup players ever...we would have concerted and USA woulda played up a man for 60 minutes...the man who shot that ball is now the head coach of the the USMNT
@Curtis Rupp Are you serious lmao ur justifiying a clear penalty
Not handball, you don't understand the rules.
US beat and eliminated the Mexicans in the 2nd round was the sweetest and happiest soccer memory of mine until now
With a clear hand in the area
@@elvergudo2487 it was 2-0 and Mexico still would have lost. Get over it. Dos a cero.

Ahh can never forget Donovan at 0:29 , shoot it with your right to right of the goal and it innn
Just wait for the USA's golden generation to come of age. WC 2026 in the USA with that team.
USA 2002 was magnificent. They were unlucky t b out of the tournament

second worst "no call" handball in world cup history. How the ref did not see it I do not know. Valiant effort by the Yanks though. I could not imagine what would have happen if they would have taken on South Korea in the semi final.
We would have been guaranteed a first World Cup final where a team not from CONMEBOL or UEFA was represented
Furkan Karsandi why not . south korea is not UEFA or CONMEBOL either , just like uda
Furkan Karsandi *usa
you clearly don´t know the rules. its only a handball if the hand is in an unnatural position. he had his hand right next to his hip and the ball flew towards it. bad luck for the americans.
+93tirana The arm wasn't "right next to his hip" as you claim. It's out about half a foot when it prevented the progress of the ball into the goal. That should've been a penalty.
John I brien had one of best tourneys ive seen outta left back and Mathis baby!
VAR would have given a goal to the US and penalty to the German defender.
This was the strongest US team in history 😮👏👏👏
VAR would've made this game interesting... A second half penalty for the USA and Germany down to 10 men.
It wouldn't have been a red card though, it wasn't an intentional handball
Harry Kewell got a red for an accidental handball against Ghana in 2010
@@MrBen51309 I dont support that decision.Its beyond ridiculous
Fair enough
4 years later frings got karma punished for that handball when they suspended him for the semifinal, after he participated in a brawl with argentinian players which argentina started hahaha
as a better known footballer by the name of Didier Drogba once said
"IT'S A DISGRACE! IT'S A F***ING DISGRACE!"
Donovan was a very complete player
If the var was on this word cup........
A Huge gap Of talents and experience between The Two Germany Could make Every Chance a goal !
USA tenía un equipaso en ese mundial, recuerdo partido lo jugó excelente mucho mejor que Alemania, pero la suerte no estuvo de su lado
Beat Portugal 3-2
Just Lost to Germany 1-0
Now they can't even get a result against Trinidad and Tobago
Always wondered how amazing Donavan would’ve been had he stayed in Europe
VAR gives ups the handball, Reyna converts the penalty, and ... we probably lose in overtime.
I don't know, kinda had them on their heels.
Maybe but that handball should have been a Red card. Don’t forget Germany should have been down to 10 players.
The era when USA was also better than today's Brazil
01:16 Still a handball after all these years!
That's outrageous. That was a handball, penalty all day
