With 15 players of color on a 23-man roster, the U.S. Men’s Soccer Team is diverse like never before.

Now Americans are hoping the team will win like never before.

The United States, despite its size, wealth and world dominance in many sports — most notably women’s soccer—has never won the FIFA World Cup.

The best finish was a tie for third in 1930. The Americans didn’t even qualify for the global event in 2018, a major embarrassment. It previously failed to qualify for every World Cup from 1954 to 1986.

Over the decades, the U.S. team has eight wins, six draws and 19 losses in World Cup play while being out-goaled 62-37.

There are positive signs this go-round might be different when looking ahead to the qualifying rounds for the 2022 World Cup in Doha, Qatar.

With the dual themes “Diversity, equity, inclusiveness and belonging” and “One Nation, One Team,” the Americans are 6-1 so far in international competition.

The most significant victory was a 3-2 overtime decision over Mexico on June 6 in the Nations League final in Denver. The United States followed that up with a 4-0 rout of Costa Rica in a “friendly” match played in Utah.

Next up is the CONCACAF Gold Cup with games July 11, 15 and 18 in Kansas City. Then comes the World Cup qualifying, with 13 games from Sept. 2 to March 30, 2022.

This marks the first time the U.S. team has been made up mostly of racial minorities. Of the 11 starters in the victory over Mexico, seven were non-white.

Here’s the list:

• DeAndre Yedlin, 27, defense, from Seattle, Wash.

• Kellyn Acosta, 25, midfield, Plano, Texas.

• Zackary Steffen, 26, goalie, Coatesville, Pa.

• Sergino Dest, 20, defense, The Netherlands Weston McK-

ennie, 22, midfield, Little Elm, Texas Mark McKenzie, 22, defense, Bronx, N.Y., and

• John Brooks, 28, defense, Berlin, Germany.

Other players of color are Tyler Adams, Reggie Cannon, Se- bastian Lletget, Yunus Musah, David Ochoa, Antonee Robinson, Jordan Siebatcheu and Tim Weah.

The U.S. team’s complexion has changed gradually on the soccer pitch. But it took some 60 years — from 1930 to 1990 — to happen.

The first African-Americans to represent the United States in FIFA World Cup play were Desmond Armstrong and Jimmy Black at the 1990 event in Italy.

Armstrong is from Washington, D.C., and Black, now deceased, was from Milwaukee.

The current edition is doing all it can to reach out to all Americans.

Disturbingly, there were ugly anti-gay chants and plastic bottle throwing from the crowd during the spirited match against Mexico, resulting in numerous ejections.

In a sign of inclusiveness, the Americans wore Rainbow Pride jerseys in the friendly against Costa Rica.

It’s one way the U.S. squad is asking all Americans to hop aboard and enjoy the hoped- for ride to Qatar. “One Nation, One Team.”
