In 1950 the USA knocked England out of the World Cup. It wasn’t until 1990 before they qualified for another World Cup. This was a feat that probably wouldn’t have been possible if Mexico hadn’t been suspended for fielding an ineligible player in a youth competition. It was four years later when the USA qualified as hosts they finally won another match thanks in part to an unfortunate own goal.
