In 1930, One semifinal featured Argentina vs the United States, the US lost, 6-1. In 1966, one semifinal featured England and Portugal, which England won, 2-1. England went on to beat West Germany in the final, 4-2 aet. That is the only time any of the United States, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, or Northern Ireland reached the semi-finals. If I remember, I shall bring in one of my books and post the histories of teams in the World Cup Final Tournament. -- James C.
