USA
The Yanks have appeared in the eight World Cup finals since 1930 where they finished third behind hosts and champions Uruguay and second-placed Argentina.That third place remains their best finish and coach Bob Bradley will be hoping that his players take the some inspiration from finishing their qualifying programme on top of the log and their Fifa Confederations Cup heroics where they lost to Brazil in the final.
Despite finishing third in 1930, USA's other highlight in the World Cup came in 1994 when they hosted the tournament that was won by Brazil successfully despite the general perception that they had a relative lack of genuine football fans.
