INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE: Danny Murphy speaks with US legend Clint Dempsey about American soccer, the danger men for Gareth Southgate, and his own emotional union with former England goalkeeper Robert Green.

It was an elite attitude that paid off against England in the 2010 World Cup, with his unexpected pot shot smashing past goalkeeper Rob Green's gloves to earn the United States a memorable 1-1 draw in Rustenburg. When the draw came out and lived in England, there was a lot of buzz, but all I heard was that America would be a good team to play against,' he says. It was added to the chip on my shoulder.'

The 1950 World Cup victory for USA Soccer over a 70% favorite England remains the country's most recent World Cup triumph

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 12, 2022
The United States' influence on international soccer is notably limited. Since completing the country's first appearance on soccer's biggest stage in Uruguay 92 years ago, the Americans have struggled through a four-decade qualifying drought, four group stage departures, and one measly quarterfinal appearance on the country's biggest stage. After being defeated by Trinidad and Tobago, the worst of it came four years ago when the dazzling US squad began to qualify for the tournament for the first time. If there is a high point in US Soccer history, it came decades before the game has made it mainstream, but that doesn't mean it's any less important. The 'Miracle on Grass,' America's 1-0 victory over 70-1 favorites England at the 1950 World Cup in Brazil was one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history, even though its effect was felt more on one side of the Atlantic than on the other.
