More About this

The 1998 FIFA World Cup in France was a difficult tournament for the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT).

  • 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.


2. Player’s Impact – USA 1998

  • Brian McBride: Scored the team’s only goal of the tournament (vs. Iran).

  • Claudio Reyna: Emerging as a midfield leader despite injuries limiting his impact.

  • Kasey Keller & Brad Friedel: Both goalkeepers represented the U.S. well in Europe at the time, though Keller started the World Cup matches.

  • Eddie Pope: One of the bright defensive prospects, would go on to anchor the U.S. backline for years.

  • Tab Ramos & Ernie Stewart: Provided attacking width and experience, though struggled to break down defenses.
