Welcome to our new weekly column, Throwback Thursday! This column each week will bring us back in time to some of those classic matches for the United States, both for the MNT and the WNT. It could be World Cup matches, qualifiers, friendlies, classic moments within a match or goals that stand the test of time. But sometimes, you can’t know where you’re going until you know where you’ve been.
We debut by going back to June 8, 2008. The scene is Giants Stadium, and the USMNT are facing Argentina, then the #1 ranked team in the world and dominant in every match they played.
