As our longtime readers know, Ed Farnsworth is a bit of a history buff — soccer history, that is. Over the last several months, Ed has slacked off on his book on Philadelphia’s soccer history so he could write a series for the Philly Soccer Page about the U.S. experience at every World Cup — including the ones they missed.

With the World Cup finally here and many of us hoping the U.S. would make history, it made sense to look back again at that history in one shot.

So, here, in all it’s glory, is the full series.
