The U.S. Men’s National Team’s 2010 season was highlighted by their dramatic run at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa under coach Bob Bradley. Drawn into a group with England, Slovenia, and Algeria, the U.S. finished top of Group C — their first time winning a World Cup group since 1930.
After a 1–1 draw with England and a 2–2 comeback vs. Slovenia, they advanced thanks to Landon Donovan’s iconic stoppage-time goal in a 1–0 win over Algeria. In the Round of 16, they were eliminated 2–1 by Ghana in extra time. The year also featured strong performances in friendlies, solidifying the U.S. as a resilient and competitive side.
