The Yanks

United States Soccer Federation

Known as The Yanks, USA had one of the busiest stretches in its history in Summer 2009. For the 2009 Confederations Cup the U.S. was drawn into Group B with Brazil, Egypt, and Italy. After losing 1–3 to Italy and 0–3 to Brazil, the United States made an unlikely comeback to finish second in the group and reach the semi-final on the second tie-breaker, goals scored, having scored four goals to Italy’s three. This was achieved on the final day of group play when the United States beat Egypt 0–3 while Brazil beat Italy 0–3.[18]
