2018 USMNT World Cup

2018 US World Cup logo as envisioned by the creators of Howler Magazine.

They offered this patch to anyone who subscribes to the magazine, so they could place this patch on any jersey to create their own nonexistent US Men's World Cup jersey.

The US Men's National Team lost to Trinidad and Tobago, 2-1 in the elimination round that knocked them out of the World Cup. The nUS had their chances, especially in the final minutes, when a Clint Dempsey shot hit the woodwork. A goal that would have tied the game and sent the US to the competition. But it did not happen. A result that is embarrassing to any fan of the USMNT, as the team has shown little improvement over the years.

At least we can still poke a little fun at ourselves...

2004.11.03 Us Women's National Team v. Denmark...

In another storybook ending for the US team, Mia Hamm scored her 158th international career goal in the 91st minute as the US National team tied Denmark 1-1, sending 18,885 fans in Giants Stadium into euphoria.

Denmark, the 9th ranked team in the world, would put the US behind early in the game. Merete Pederson beat Brandi Chastain to the ball on the right flank and calmly hit a chip over the on-rushing Briana Scurry into the empty net in the 8th minute.

The US never let down and the crowd stayed behind their team the whole time. When Hamm scored the stadium erupted into screams, from the mostly young female fans...
