I remember setting my alarm for 2:00am to watch this game! I still get chills watching the USA drubbing Portugal!

I remember that I was an American living in Sweden at the time. Watching this at a bar. Everyone was rooting against the USA. I gave them all the middle finger as I left the bar.

This USA was one of the most talented squads in my opinion. Bravo USA! 👏

Man, these were the days. I still miss the greats. Donovan, Beasley, McBride. The players that really mattered.

If it wasn't for that handball that saved Germany.... We would've reached the semi final

What a win for USA

That USA kit was mint. The team was actually great, I was gutted when they got robbed by Germany in the quarters

This was the last tournament Portugal played before Cristiano.

Brian mc bride is one of the most underrated American players.

🇺🇸 Those USA kits are goated 🙌👏

USA 2002 and 2010 were something on fire which never happens again for a long time…

My first World Cup. I've been a football fan ever since that McBride header went in (and a Fulham fan.)

I was at this game. Everybody was shocked especially at 3-0

Brad Friedel...a total legend...over 500 professional matches....so long in England that he developed a hardcore accent

The 2002 World Cup was filmed entirely in HD, why don't FIFA just get that higher quality footage instead of this?

I remember watching this ina NYC bar at like 4 in the morning and we were just amazed the US beat Portugal who were favs and to see US get to the quarterfinals this 2002 team really started the US back to the WC

Mr. Donovan, Mr. McBride is my favorite , impressive and respectful USA legendary foot ball player. I am looking forward to 2026 FIFA WC⚽

This was surreal to watch as a13 year old at the time.

I knew nothing about US soccer. It must be so unpopular in the US being the 4th or 5th? And Portugal had the whole top tier squad. Looks like US is no match. The match? 30 mins in and US is leading 3-0. Holy moly.

1-0 John O'Brien (4 min) 2-0 Jorge Costa (30 min (OG)) 3-0 Brian McBride (36 min) 3-1 Beto (39 min) 3-2 Jeff Agoos (71 min (OG))

Surprisingly this is the last time the U.S has beaten a European team at the World Cup

imo, our second-greatest victory in the modern era, just behind mexico in the round-of-16 of the same tournament. usmnt in 2002 was *slept on af.*

Esa selección de Estados Unidos a pesar de que ya eran bastante competitivos aún tenían jugadores poco hábiles con el balón en los pies, principalmente en defensa y su portero era poco confiable, pero su ataque era de respeto, Donovan 🫡 sin duda alguna un top 3 de la Concacaf en el siglo XXI junto a Rafa Márquez y Keylor, y bueno posteriormente crecieron mucho en todas sus líneas de juego, su gran momento fue entre 2008 y 2010, pero el mundial no se les dio, 2009 fue su punto más alto eliminando a España en Copa Confederaciones, gran generación, ahora deben tener su generación más talentosa, un buen DT los podría llevar lejos, tal vez no a ganar una copa del mundo, pero si a jugar una semifinal

man John O'Brien, Earnie Stewart, and Pablo Mastroeni was a heck of a midfield

greatest cup performance for the U.S ....(so far)

When it was 3-0 it looked like they could keep trashing Portugal. After Portugal made it 3-2 it looked like the they were gonna choke!

El verdadero gigante de concacaf 🇺🇸❤️ haciendo partidos memorables desde hace mucho tiempo

Brad Friedel Was A Brilliant Save ⚽️👍

"USA players were on steroids " said by Diaz bros 😂

Amazing 😮

These highlights don't show how dominant Brian McBride was in the air in this game. He was leaping over Portugal defenders to win everything. He was outstanding.

Faltou Eusébio aí no time de Portugal.

Wednesday 5th June 2002

The 2002 World Cup is by far not a perfect one, but it does have highlights - like "the Three R's" of Brazil, Germany's full use of teamwork, Turkey's surprising phenomenal performance! Oh early 2000s, how I miss those years!

A great Match !

Man, Agoos highlights giving me PTSD 😵‍💫

Only World Cup game with own goals for both teams

Demarcus Beasley dam the mf was around for a long time

GGG, I'm waiting!

Haha deng I was doing school homework while watching this on TV hahahaha

Everyone underestimates USA but most people don''t know that USA reached a world cup semi-final once in the first world cup 1930 lost the semi-final and won 3rd place

Usa usa usa

Tenia buen equipo estados unidos actualmente tambien 🇺🇸⚽️

i thought i would see pepe in this game 😂😂😂

Jeff Agoos, the worst American defender to ever play in a World Cup, hands down

Fifa Post this video after watching Al nassr beating Miami 6 nailed 😅😅😅😅

NICE

Blud scored the craziest own goal 😂

Agoos was the sorriest player on USA 😂😂😂😂😂

前半３失点は痛い(×_×) 🇵🇹

USA LEGENDS! MY GOAT US TEAM

Second goal was a clear outside.

Suwonと言ったら水原、んでレフェリーはMorenoさん。なんかおもろいな

When USA was owning countries ✨

It was time for the USMNT 🇺🇸 to be in the same level as the world’s best all they needed was to believe in themselves.

14

I remember Frankie Hey Duck

Why no play clock?

and usa beat prime spain too

Present 1 minutes

Europa contra u.s.

Figo era balon de oro?

donovan was offside on the second goal

What happened to the passion of the American fans today?

Figo overrated

Little surprise. Figo was a pig at possibly the most boring WC ever

.

Figo was a disappointment.

First

Bad referee 😂😂😂

12th

Where's cr7?!😂

1st

I am first 😮

Stopping kids for saying first

Byron Moreno, el peor referee que ha existido en los mundiales.

History

Portugal also lost to South Korea in group stage

Of course they lost. They have Figo the best PIG of all time.

Bro does anyone realise that this was before Cristiano Ronaldo even made his senior debut, and now they think they are amazing without him just bc of 2 results vs Switzerland and Sweden
