That Confederations Cup years ago is easily my fondest USMNT memory to date. I caught most of that tournament, and the saving grace of the final game in the first round was amazing, and everything after that was like a storybook.
It sort of opened me up to the idea that we really could take things to the next level, and compete with the top teams in the world.
I'd love to see the US play with that grit and spirit again.
