The USA's best finish came 92 years ago in the inaugural World Cup, when it finished in third place. That is the only time it has made the semifinals.
The U.S. did not qualify for the tournament in 2018 after making the Round of 16 in each of the previous two World Cups.

Berhalter is the first person to represent the USA as both a player (2002, 2006) and a coach in the World Cup.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The average age of the starters in the qualifiers was 23.82, by far the youngest of any team and almost a full two years younger than the next youngest. Three of the players are teenagers (Reyna turns 20 on Saturday, while Musah will turn 20 on Nov. 29).
Five of the 26 players participated in this year's UEFA Champion's League, soccer's premier club competition. Fourteen of the players participate in the world's top five leagues.
