Today, the time machine goes back to February 10, 1998, when the United States was in the middle of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. This was during a time where only 10 teams competed in the Gold Cup and usually one of those teams was an invitee from another confederation. The invited guest of the 1998 Gold Cup was none other than Brazil, at that point the defending World Cup champions who were preparing to defend their title in France that summer.
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was the site of the 1998 Gold Cup semifinals, and the USMNT lined up against the World Cup champs and the number 1 team in the world.
