SI has put out a World Cup US preview cover every 4 years starting in 2002, but not in '90, '94 and '98. Certainly, the US finally qualifying for a WC for the first time since 1950 did not have quite the same cultural impact back in 1990. In '94, though the bigger story was that the US was hosting the WC for the first time, SI did not have a preview cover either for the tournament or for the US team. In '98, it seems that nobody cared before, during or after, given the US' dismal performance.
