The USA knocked England out of the 1950 tournament with one of the biggest shocks in World Cups and in 2010 held a star-studded team to a 1-1 draw best remembered for a howler by English goalkeeper Rob Green. England are still bidding for a first major tournament title in 56 years after losing last year's European Championship final to Italy on penalties.
