Description

Champion (United States) is a fuzzy, brown bear with black button eyes and an American flag nose. He wears a golden ribbon tied around his neck and he has a FIFA World Cup 2002 badge on his chest.

Poem

The United States has participated in 5 FIFA
World Cup tournaments (1930, 1934, 1950,
1990 and 1994). The best finish by a US team in
the FIFA World Cup play was third place in
the 1930 tournament. In 1950, the US enjoyed
its most celebrated FIFA World Cup moment
with a 1-0 upset win over England. And, in 1994,
many people were surprised when the US was
asked to host the 15th FIFA World Cup.
