Try a website about the MLS (Major League Soccer), you will find some information there.\nThe U.S.A. made the semi-finals of the World Cup in 1930- a great achievement. They beat England 1-0 in the 1950 World Cup which was a huge shock. \nThey are ranked 5th in the world at the moment, but that is because they play more games than other nations.

1930 Uruguay. They reached the semi-finals after beating Belgium and Paraguay in the first round proper, which was played in group format with 3 teams per group and 1 going through. (3-0 in both games)\nThey were beaten 6-1 by Argentina in the Semis.\n\nThey never appeared again until 1950 in Brazil when they famously beat England 1-0. Some say they beat England because their team was full of Scots.\n\nHowever it was never called the "FIFA" world cup until after 1970 when Brazil kept the old "Jules Rimet" trophy after winning it for a 3rd time.\nThey first appeared under "FIFA" at Italy in 1990 where they were soundly gubbed.

I think India qualified for the 1950 World Cup, but were unable to participate as they refused to wear football boots. They are currently ranked 117th in the world.

As for the first World Cup (1930) only 13 countries participated. It was held in Uraguay and there were no qualification matches - teams were merely invited to take part. Many european countries declined the invitation because of the travelling distance and transport facilities weren't as efficient as they are today. The top scorer was Guillermo Stábile of Argentina with 8 goals. The first scorer of a World Cup goal however was scored by Lucien Laurent, of France, in the 19th minute of their opening game. \n\nUraguay won the tournament.\n\nPrize money for the World Cup has recently been increased for the impending tournament. The winners of the tournament in Germany will walk away with 24.5 million Swiss francs (£10.7m), more than double the total for the 2002 World Cup, while every qualifying nation will pocket a minimum of seven million Swiss francs (£3m). Needless to say prize money increases the further the nation progresses through the tournament. Specific amounts awarded to each country will be known after the World Cup.

(m)\n\nThe first Football World Cup was staged in 1930. The games were awarded to Uruguay as they were the Olympic champions at the time and since they were celebrating the centenary of their independence. As well as being the first ever hosts, Uruguay also became the inaugural champions, beating Argentina in the final, 4-2.\n\nThe first World Cup was the only one without qualification; teams were invited. Due to the long and costly trip across the Atlantic, very few European teams chose to participate; two months before the tournament started, no team from that continent had officially entered. FIFA's president, Jules Rimet, intervened, along with the Uruguayan government, which promised to pay the travel expenses of any travelling European team. Eventually four teams made the three-week sea trip: Belgium, France, Romania, and Yugoslavia.\n\nThe thirteen teams were drawn into four groups, with all the games taking place in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. Since there were no qualifying games, the opening two matches of the tournament were also the first ever World Cup games, taking place simultaneously on July 13th; France beat Mexico 4-1, while the USA defeated Belgium 3-0 at the same time in Estadio Gran Parque Central. France's Lucien Laurent was the scorer of the first ever World Cup goal. The USA's Bert Patenaude scored the first hat-trick in World Cup history, as his team beat Paraguay 3-0. The four eventual group winners, Argentina, Yugoslavia, Uruguay, and the USA, moved to the semifinals.\n\nThe two semi-final matches saw identical 6-1 scores, as Argentina beat the US and Uruguay defeated Yugoslavia. Because the traditional third-place playoff match was not established until 1934, the 1930 World Cup is unique in not having any games take place between the semi-finals and the Final as Yugoslavia refused to play the 3rd place play-off against the USA. [citation needed] However, some sources, notably the FIFA Bulletin from 1984, affirm that the match occurred (Yugoslavia - US 3-1). [1] This information has never been officially confirmed.\n\nThe first ever World Cup Final was played at the Centenario Stadium, Montevideo, on July 30th. A seemingly innocuous controversy overshadowed the build-up to the match as the teams disagreed on who should provide the match ball, forcing FIFA to intervene and decree that the Argentine team would provide the ball for the first half and the Uruguayans would provide their own for the second. The game ended 4-2 to Uruguay (who had trailed 2-1 at half time) who added the title World Cup Winners to the already prestigious mantle of Olympic Champions, as Jules Rimet presented the World Cup Trophy, which was later to be named after the man himself. Only one player from that final, Francisco Varallo (who played as a striker for Argentina), is still alive today.
