From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Murphy is a former U.S. soccer player who was a member of the St. Louis Kutis in the mid-1950s. In 1957, the United States Soccer Federation replaced the U.S. national team with the Kutis club in the middle of the 1958 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. Kutis, acting as the U.S. national team, lost two games to Canada and the U.S. had failed to qualify for a second straight Cup final. However, Murphy scored 3-2 loss on July 6, 1957. He ended his national team career with two caps, and a single goal.
