The U.S. Men’s National Team just completed a successful three-game stretch in June capped off with four massive points from two important World Cup Qualifiers – a 2-0 win against Trinidad & Tobago and another historic 1-1 draw away to Mexico
Here are some of the significant numbers that stick out:
16,995 feet or 3.2 miles – Combined elevation the U.S. MNT played at during its three June matches: Mexico City (7,382 feet), Commerce City, Colo. (5,164 feet) and Sandy, Utah (4,449 feet).
134 and 39 – Number of overall caps and World Cup Qualifying appearances made by Clint Dempsey. The U.S. forward is tied with Jeff Agoos for third all-time on the MNT caps list and just one World Cup Qualifying appearance behind U.S. MNT leader Landon Donovan (40).
