 | | After their last place finish in 1998, the U.S. team, coached by Bruce Arena, did surprisingly well in 2002, making it to the quarterfinals where they lost to Germany. |
 | | And Arena returns as head coach in 2006, bringing some 2002 veterans—Kasey Kelley, Gregg Berhalter, Pablo Mastroeni, Eddie Pope, DeMarcus Beasley, Landon Donovan, Claudio Reyna, and Josh Wolff. |
