Reliving One of the Biggest Upsets in Soccer History

The launch of the 2022 FIFA World cup is just around the corner and the youngest team in USMNT history is set to represent the US on soccer’s biggest stage. Former USMNT striker Jozy Altidore sat down with David Greene to relive his time representing the US in two World Cups. His 2009 goal led the US to upset Spain and break that country’s 35-game winning streak. Some still consider it to be one of the most important wins in US men’s soccer history.  “It was like a flag bearer moment for us. We stuck our flag in the ground. It was a huge moment, a huge indication of where the sport in our country's going” said Altidore. Share your favorite World Cup moment with us on Twitter and follow us on Instagram.
