Editing Tony Sanneh (section)

==International career==
Sanneh made his debut for the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States national team]] on January 29, 1997, in a 2–1 loss to [[China national football team|China]] but failed to make [[Steve Sampson]]'s final squad and was left out of the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]] in France.

Sanneh then had very good seasons from there on out, enough to impress new U.S. coach [[Bruce Arena]] scoring his first international goal in a shock 3–0 win over Germany. Eventually, he became an important part of the team by the time the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]] came around and was one of the US best players in the tournament, playing every minute of every game. In the US first game of the tournament, a 3–2 upset of [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]], his precise cross from the right side of the field provided an assist to [[Brian McBride]]'s goal. He was also instrumental, both defensively and offensively, in the US narrow 1–0 loss to Germany in the quarterfinals, barely missing an equalizing goal on two occasions in the 47th and 89th minute.

After the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]], Sanneh was rarely picked due to injury and an influx of young talent into the national team pool. However, after playing impressively for the [[Columbus Crew]] and [[Chicago Fire Soccer Club|Chicago Fire]] in MLS, he was recalled for the [[2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup]], starting in group games against Cuba and Costa Rica. The US later won the tournament upon beating Panama in the final. Following the tournament he was never called back into the national team and Sanneh finished his career for the US national team with three goals in 43 appearances.
