It was February 28, 2001, and the United States was hoping to continue its quest to qualify for the 2002 World Cup by defeating their main rival, Mexico. Selecting Columbus, Ohio as the location to try and create a home field advantage, the USMNT did more than that. It created a legendary moment in American soccer history, and it would create a rallying cry for its fans.
The game started off terribly for the USMNT, with Brian McBride and Claudio Reyna having to sub off in the first half. Still, they held the game scoreless at the half.
