Although the United States is out of the 2014 World Cup, we've got the Fourth of July as an excuse to keep the patriotism going. It's a great time to get a lifetime's worth of wear into your ugly all-over American flag printed tracksuit, because it's totally unacceptable to wear it during the other 11 months of the year. That World Cup hangover likely won't go away any time soon though, since we're all replaying the last 35 minutes of the Belgium match wondering: A) Is Tim Howard a real person or some sort of Captain America-style athletic project from the American government and B) HOW DID WE (specifically Chris Wondolowski) NOT SCORE TO WIN OR TIE THE MATCH?
To help remedy this soccer stress (the very idea of millions of Americans being adversely affected by a soccer match is kind of new here), we've put together every awesome moment in United States sporting history. If one of our fellow citizens repped the Stars N' Stripes in an international competition, they're eligible here. (Note how events like Mike Piazza's post-9/11 home run aren't.)
