The Game of Their Lives 2005

In the summer of 1950, the most unlikely team ever to represent their nation gathered in Brazil for the first Soccer World Cup since World War II.

They all wore blue shorts and white shirts crossed with a thick band of red. On their chests, they wore the eagle of the United States of America.
