Uruguay, of the places preferred by the selection of the United States

It can be said that the two most important achievements of US Soccer arrived in the territory of Charra. ANDThe United States reached the semifinals of the first World Cup in 1930, reaching this instance after being first of the group that I shared with Paraguay and Belgium. This I mentioned with Argentina in the semifinals, an instance to which they have not returned, and although they fell to the albiceleste, it is the best participation of Team USA in this tournament.

65 years later there was another great American participation in Uruguay. It was the second participation in the American Cup for Team USA and, contrary to what happened in Ecuador 1993, they passed the group stage and they eliminated Mexico on penalties, citing Brazil in semis, where they fell 1-0. Colombia won the game for third place, but reaching the semifinals is still the United States best result in the Conmebol tournament.
