My top 20 recommendations for US Soccer collectors trying to start out.

1. vs. Brazil from the semifinals of 1998 Gold Cup. This is a no brainier as the USA gets it's one and only victory over Brazil thanks to Preki and Kasey Keller who played the match of his life. (Availible in American English and Brazilian Portuguese)

2. vs. Argentina at the 1995 Copa America. Sure Brazil can beat Argentina 3-0, but the US doing it?

3. vs. England at US Cup 93. England shut out. (American and English versions availible)

4. vs. Colombia from the 1994World Cup. Pele's hand picked team to win it all was defeated 2-1 and eliminated at the hands of the US in the 1st round. (American English, American Spanish, and Brazilian versions availible)

5. vs. Mexico from the 1995 US Cup. Sure the USA beats Mexico now without much trouble, but back then it was a rarity. Even more so a rarity because they destroyed their A team by a wide margin. (American and Mexican versions availible)

6. vs. Argentina in 1999. Nothing like blocking a PK and scoring with 2 minutes to go in regulation and wining in front of 40,000+ witnesses

7. vs. Portugal from the 2002 World Cup. If you think about it, it was this loss that eliminated Portugal from the tournament. (England, German, Portuguese and American Spanish versions availible)

8. vs. Mexico at a WCQ at Columbus in 2001. Mexico must have been surprised to find itself surrounded by US supporters in the US. Add to that that the US won 2-0. (American and Mexican versions availible)

9. vs. Mexico from the 2002 World Cup. Mexico can brag all they want about who has won more matches between the two nations, but at the end of the day, they were shut out in the WORLD CUP and were ELIMINATED when the USA defeated them 2-0. (England, Chilean, and American Spanish versions availible)

10. vs. Germany in a friendly from 2/6/99. How often does the USA shut out Germany? (American and German broadcast availible)

11. vs. South Korea from the 2002 World Cup. Just another day in the life of a US player by playing in front of 60,000 people rooting against him. That and Brad Friedel had a few good saves that insured that the US would go on to the next round. (American English, South Korean and Spanish versions availible)

12. vs. Honduras front the semifinals of the 2005 Gold Cup. I nearly lost my voice in the last 6 minutes of the match.

13. vs. Germany from the 1999 Confederations Cup. How often does USA shut out Germany twice in one year? (Original German broadcast)

14. vs. Japan from the 2000 Olympic Quarterfinals. It comes down to the preverbal wire. And then goes past it. (Original Japanese broadcast)

15. vs. Mexico from the 1996 US Cup. Match ends in a draw in front of a sold out (mostly Mexican) Rose Bowl on a last second goal. (American and Mexican versions availible)

16. vs. Mexico from US Cup 2000. This was the beginning of the USA's home unbeaten streak against Mexico that lasted for nine years.

17. vs. Brazil from the 94 World Cup. True, the USA lost, but how often was there that many people watching a USA match and cheering for them all at the same time? That and it was on the 4th of July. (Also availible in Portuguese)

18. vs. Italy from the 2006 World Cup. True as US fans we'd like to forget this tournament ever happened, but if only for one day during that tournament, the US came to play. (England, Italian, Australian and Mexican broadcasts availible)

19. vs. Mexico in the 2007 Gold Cup Final. Yeeeeeeeeeessssss! Benny! Feilhaber! (American, Mexican, and American Spanish versions availible)

20. vs. Spain from the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. Left for dead before the end of te 1st Round, the USA managed to miraculously advance out of the group, only to face a team with a 15 match winning streak. (American English, Canadian English, Australian English, American Spanish, Mexican Spanish, and German versions availible).
