-
Group Stage (Group F):

Lost 2–0 to Germany in their opener.
-
Lost 2–1 to Iran, in a politically charged and highly symbolic match (Brian McBride scored the lone U.S. goal).

Lost 1–0 to Yugoslavia, finishing bottom of the group with 0 points.
-
-
Result: USA were eliminated in the group stage, finishing 32nd (last place) in the tournament.
-
Key Storyline:
-
The team struggled under head coach Steve Sampson, who made controversial squad selections, leaving out veterans such as John Harkes.
-
Internal conflicts and tactical instability plagued the squad.
-
Despite the disappointment, the tournament experience was crucial in shaping the next generation of U.S. soccer players leading into the 2002 World Cup run.

-
Kit: The 1998 USA home jersey, designed by Nike, featured a classic white base with a bold red horizontal sash and blue trim, incorporating a more stylish and modern look for the time. It’s now a sought-after retro jersey among USMNT collectors.
