Fun fact: to this day, this is the *only* time *any* two nations from the same confederation outside of Europe and South America have *ever* faced each other in a World Cup match! No two teams from Asia, Africa, or Oceana have *ever* faced each other in a World Cup (and no, Australia vs Japan in 2006 does not count, because Australia was still in the Oceana region at that point and hadn't joined the Asian confederation yet)! This was also the *very* first time *ever* that a knockout round matchup was played in which *neither* team was from either Europe or South America! Yes, before this, *every* knockout round match in World Cup history featured *at least* one team from *either* Europe or South America! And for that historic moment to end up being between *not only* between two teams from the *same* Confederation, but for the two teams that share a border and be arguably each others' biggest rivals in international football is *stunning!* Yes, this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime event where all the stars aligned and the world got to witness something *very* special (obviously, no two teams from the same confederation outside of Europe or South America have *ever* faced each other since, and the *only* other knockout round game between two teams both *not* from Europe or South America in *all* of history happened in 2010 when the United States played Ghana in the Round of 16. This was a truly unique event in which nothing similar to it had ever happened before and nothing similar to it has repeated in the 16 years of tournament play since)!

For a USA fan, this is probably our favorite "Dos A Cero!" win.

I remember Mexico was so confident about having this game in the bag. Even Germany were already talking about facing Mexico in the quarterfinals. But the USMT team kept quite and focused and got the job done. Heartbreaking defeat for Mexico.

No importa cuantos finals de copa oro mexico le gana a usa Pero este es el partido mas importante entre USA - Mex It doesn’t matter how many cold cup finals Mexico beats USA this is the most important game btwn the USA & MEXICO

🇲🇽 México vs Estados Unidos 🇺🇸 Partidos jugados: 70 🇲🇽Ganados: 36 🇺🇸Ganados: 19 Empates: 15 Logros (selección mayor) 🇲🇽 11 Titulos copa oro. 🇺🇸 6 Titulos copa oro 🇲🇽 1 confederaciones Y sin embargo... Estados Unidos le gano el partido mas importante en esta historica rivalidad

I think Claudio Reyna conceived his son Gio right after this game. 18 years...story checks out! Just scored his first goal for the national team yesterday

Wow. We’ve actually won more knockout round games than Mexico in the last 25 years 🇺🇸

Had to come back after today's win 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The best US team ever. Golden generation. They did well in this world cup

I'm Asian so I can watch this tournament during daytime. My childhood was filled by tons of matches that way and this world cup nicely awakened my interests in football. That changed my life forever!

Nunca olvidaré, tenía 13 años y estaba solo en mi cuarto en la madrugada viendo este juego, confiaba que México ganaría. Al día de hoy reconozco que ese equipo de USA era tremendo, podrás odiar a Landon Donovan pero no se puede dejar de reconocer que México se confió y ellos tuvieron la mentalidad correcta

Until a bigger game with more implications is played between the US and Mexico, the US will always have more bragging rights because of this game here.

Whe the US had a great team and Captain America, Landon Donovan.

The USA was unlucky to play in the quarter-finals against Germany.

Ahhh, the greatest dosacero ever

Mexico’s worst nightmare to lose to the USA in a World Cup match

*Lo dijo hace unos poquitos días Oswaldo Sánchez: Estábamos agrandadísimos para ese partido.* *Recuerdo cuando acabó el Italia vs. México pensar: Estos se van a confiar y vamos a perder y justo eso pasó.*

I didn't know the current USA manager was on this team, he played quite well in the back too from what I saw

It's 2022. There's a world cup in Qatar. Berhalter manages USMNT in which Claudio's son, Gio is in. Gosh time is crazy.

3:45 jajajjaa jajajaj No supo que hacer y se tiró RIDÍCULAMENTE! Pobre Hernández. Increíble que le hayan cobrado.

This was the first USMNT game I ever watched live. Thought this team was going in such an amazing direction. Ugh.

Pese a que algunos digan que EEUU no se especializa en futbol, donovan si lo hacía🙂🙂👍

Ni con los Américanos podemos pasar de octavos de final 🤦🏻‍♀️

Dos a cero? Where have I heard that one before?

I can’t believe México can’t even beat the USA to get to the quarterfinals 🤦‍♂️

And That's how it all started 🇺🇸 DOS A CERO

Dos a cero never gets old .

gotta love that mexican class 🤦‍♂️ as always

Fue factor el gol tempranero a México, eso los mató mentalmente, porque se estaba jugando con una presión tremenda para poder empatar. Sin duda la eliminación más triste que le ha ocurrido a México.

Here to reminisce after savoring the 3-2 win against Mex in the nations league final.

Objetivo de Todas las selecciones que clasifican al mundial: Ser campeones. Mexico: Quinto partido 😂

y lo volvía hacer el único jugador en la historia de la CONCACAF que nunca arrugo contra México, LANDON DONOVAN los tenia de hijo jajajajaja

Tenía 7 años y me desvelé para ver el partido. Como todo el país, creía que ganaríamos después de una de las mejores fases de grupo hecha por México en una copa mundial. Pero el confiarse no costó caro.

19 years later and Berhalter is the manager while the son of Claudio is already looking like a future legend

Crazy to think this game is over 20 years ago and USA is clearly the Kings of Concacaf today!

The most painful world Cup exit in Mexico's history- even more painful than in 2006 vs Argentina. Premature celebrations, Aguirre's team selection and subs. It was a huge mess. As mexicans, we want to believe that we are the best team in central and North America, but the results speak for themselves. The world cup is the true parameter of international football, not gold cups.

FIFA has only been uploading matches of only the few European countries and Brazil. Thank you for uploading this, now I want to see more matches of other countries that is not Brazil, Spain, Netherland, Italy, Germany, Argentina please

Dos A Cero!

The analysts called for an easy win for Mexico. The easiest draw they could get. Just for the US to smack them with a 2-0 win!

Un día marcado para los Mexicanos 😭

No importa amigos mexicanos hay cosas peores como el 7-0 saludos

I’m Mexican and this was surely the most painful loss against USA 🇺🇸 I watched this game when I was only 12 and I was surprised since USA 🇺🇸 played better than us, they were more effective and did an amazing job beating us

Seeing the green shirt, white shorts, and red socks is iconic. Adidas please go back to this color scheme. Seeing El Tri wearing their current jerseys just doesn’t feel right.

8:14 Rafa Marquez sera leyenda aquí en México, pero estas estupideces las hacia en partidos clave, ¿que quería hacer ahí matarlo?

Mexico clearly should've had a penalty for that handball by O'Brien. Could've been a very different game had that been given.

Landon donovan, el jugador leyenda de EEUU, que hizo historia en ese Partido ante México y anotar un gol, y los guio a la final de la Confederaciones 2009 donde casi la ganan( pero como el rival era Brasil 😟) de todos modos una verdadera leyenda del fútbol, like si tambien lo crees👍🙂

WOOOOOW Ni contra el US pudiamos a pasar al cuartos finales.

Aquí vengo a ver cuando me dicen que México puede competir en las eliminatorias de Conmebol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This loss and the 2014 Vs Holland brought tears to my eyes 😔😔😔

México siempre va a ser un equipo pedorro. Ya desperdiciaron dos generaciones sub17... Así las cosas.

I love how fair the ref was in the game. If this was CONCACAF, Márquez for sure would never get that red card after the headbutt to Cobi Jones. Ref went straight to the red! 👏🏼 Other refs would have not given a card and say it's fine.

Please upload Uruguay v Netherlands Fifa world cup semi-final 2010

historia de Estados Unidos América 🇺🇸 y México 🇲🇽 partido VS clásico.

Recuerdo que los mexicanos ya hablaban de quien seria el rival en 4tos pero se fueron del mundial con la cola rota 😂😂😂😂😂😂

One of the biggest football rivalries in the football world

Dos A Cero. Who else is visiting the history in the eve of Cincinnati game 11/12/2021?

A mi consideración el partido más importante entre estas dos selecciones, se jugaban el todo por el todo. Pero creo que la selección mexicana salió al campo con un exceso de confianza y jamás pensó estar abajo en el marcador desde el minuto 8. Y no se pudieron reponer anímicamente. Estados Unidos ganó merecidamente.

P-pero a mí me dijeron que era la mejor selección mexicana de la historia 😭😭😭☝️

I remember watching this game live, it was my first 2-0 game I saw lol

Hey, that's two extende highlights now that are painful for Mexico. How 'bout doing Mexico vs Croatia in 2014 or Mexico vs France in 2010?

Aguirre entrego el partido al sacar a Morales y meter al decadente de Luis Hdez, hubiera metido a Palencia mejor. Sigifredo era tu lateral por derecha no mames, malo y tenia como 40 anos

Esta derrota fue culpa en 90% de Javier Aguirre. No haber podido hacer un buen planteamiento contra un rival al que te enfrentas hasta como 5 veces en todo ciclo mundialista, no tiene perdón de Dios. Especialmente si vienes de dar un partidazo contra Italia. Fue una muestra de que es un técnico mediano, no apto para los grandes partidos. Y por supuesto, hubo jugadores que a la hora no dieron el ancho, como el famoso "Rafita" Márquez, quien lejos de ayudar y de ser una fuente de fortaleza para el equipo, se hizo expulsar.

I never got over this loss. Why did Aguirre sub in Hernandez for Morales? I still shake my head when I think about that.

Best USA team 🇦🇷🇺🇲

Estados Unidos fue superior, de eso no queda duda, pero hay que admitir que fue muy descarada esta mano 4:37 que pudo ser marcada como penalti y quizás cambiar la historia del partido.

Usa, nice play! Greetings, from Germany! 🇩🇪

Respeto mucho al matador pero sinceramente en este mundial 2002 valió brg. Se nota hasta en los movimientos. Debieron llevar a otro

This is still the best US team ever

México talvez sea el gigante de Concacaf pero el juego más importante lo ganó Estados Unidos y talvez nunca se vuelvan a enfrentar en mundiales

Hope the Dutch overestimate us the way our neighbors did 20 years ago. What I can tell you is that if the lads will play with the same spirit and manliness as here, we could win even the WC (given the fact we have so much more talent than USA 2002).

Justo en el orgullo mexicano

Im malaysian.. Mexico fans.. always support this team..but mexico always failed go to quarter final since 1986😢😢

This was the best team the USMNT ever fielded.

8:13 Marquez y el no saber perder, , le quiso dar con la pierna tambien

Dos a cero!

4:28 Clear, shameful handball. That wouldn’t happen today.

Watch this Full-Length Match from 2002 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 between USA (USMNT) vs. Mexico USA 🇺🇸 will re-qualify for the next FIFA World Cup and became the new FIFA World Cup champions to look like the first star ⭐ of the USMNT's crest & a trophy 🏆 at Qatar 2022 or on the home soil in 2026 (which qualified automatically as co-host with Mexico and Canada)

Ahí estaba Berhalther como jugador , ahora le gano a Mexico como DT en la liga de naciones de CONCACAF.

This is an excellent epic battle in 2002 FIFAWC between 2 CONCACAF countries.

If I'm not mistaken, this was the very first Dos A Cero 🇺🇸 > 🇲🇽

Love the World Cup! ⚽️⚽️

Ahi fue cuando "sobornaron" a Javier Aguirre y saco a Ramoncito Morales que era el unico man que estaba jugando bien

Amazing brad friedel

Táctica defensiva mucha táctica defensiva siempre le ha faltado hasta hoy en día a México sienten que nada más es correr detrás de el balón o jugar a lo que salga

Marquez collecting Red Cards since forever ago😂

Usa el verdadero grande de la Concacaf

London Donovan very talented player unfortunately almost the whole career played in mls

You know, Gregg played pretty well that day.. haha. Sorry, but had to say it :P Classic match..

La falta por la que fue expulsado Márquez fue muy parecida a la que cometió Vidrio en el primer tiempo y solo fue amonestado, era roja directa

I think there is a full match of this game.

Keep it up 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

this is by far the most important matchup between the two, by far, and the USA won it 😂😤

Teniendo al mejor delantero de la copa libertadores 2001 (Palencia) y mete al muerto de Luis Hernández 😡

Dos a Cero! One of our backs is now our head coach, Reynas son is in the team (dribbling through Mexico), and Josh Wolffs son is a U-20 star...time flies.

El conejo sentando a Oswaldo Sánchez y a Jorge Campos 😎💙

That was the best game for the U.S🇺🇸

2 gold cup consecutives EEUU is best😂

Excelente !

After that a legendary rivalry was born

Como siempre rafa Marquez haciendo expulsar en todos los mundiales
