The victory gave the U.S. a 10-1 record and won the championship title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SPERAW had Team USA committed to their plan and, since the beginning of the season, Speraw has kept the team\u2019s focus on their goal of winning the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SPERAW<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;I always wanted to set the goal higher than to qualify.
