Team USA stuns England 1-0 at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The Americans hardly a soccer power beat one of the top-ranked teams in the world as Joe Gaetjens scores the game’s only goal in the 38th minute. Though it was England’s first appearance in the World Cup, they were considered the “Kings of Football” while Team USA had lost their last seven international matches by a combined score of 45-2.
