On this day in 2001, the US falls to FIFA No. 1 ranked Brazil
Imagine having to play the top-rated national team in the world according to FIFA less than a week after beating your archrival to open World Cup qualifying.
The USMNT hosted Brazil three days after the historic 2-0 win over Mexico in Columbus. The Yanks made nine changes from the team that beat Mexico and despite keeping the match competitive throughout, Brazil was too much in the 2-1 defeat.
25’
A young Ronaldinho opened the scoring with this incredible free-kick in the 25th minute.
