(March 22, 2013) QUALIFIERS -- NEITHER SNOW, NOR SLEET: Entrance to the World Cup wasn’t guaranteed. First, the U.S. soccer team had to make it through a series of qualifying games. One of the USA’s most notable wins in World Cup qualifying was the 1-0 win against Costa Rica in a Colorado snow storm. Conditions in the game got so bad that the referee halted the game in the 55th minute. When the game resumed, the U.S. secured a key win. (Photo: Byron Hetzler, USA TODAY Sports)

(September 10, 2013) WORLD CUP BOUND! The U.S. Men’s National Team qualified for the 2014 World Cup with a resounding 2-0 win over its biggest rival, Mexico, in front of a sold-out crowd in Columbus, Ohio.
