The stage is set for the ultimate opening match for the red, white and blue: a June 12th game with England.
60 years to the month of one of soccer's greatest upsets, the sides will meet again.
The USA's 1-0 upset against 500-1 odds in the 1950 World Cup ranks as one of the most surprising results the football world has ever seen.
The Yanks carried just one professional and barely belonged on the same pitch.
But they came out ahead.
In 189 days, facing far less of an uphill climb but still pitted against one of the Top-10 teams in the World, the Americans can taste victory again.
So ready the chants of "Nine-teen fif-ty" and when those get old, tales of 1776 will certainly do. Let's win another for the red, white and blue!
