We could have sealed it by winning tonight, or still potentially qualified with a draw/loss depending on the result of other games. Buuut we started out with an own goal and ended up losing 2-1.

Sad day.

If USA won or draw against the worst team, they advance to world cup no matter what.

If USA loses and Panama and Honduras both lose or draw against the top 2 teams Mexico and Costa Rica, USA still advances.

If USA loses and Panama OR Honduras win, USA still goes to the elimination match against Asias 5th best team.

If USA loses and Panama AND Honduras both win, USA is completely eliminated.

USA 1
Trinidad and Tobago 2

Mexico 2
Honduras 3

Costa Rica 1
Panama 2

Usa is completely eliminated.

I didn't know about the potential playoff vs Asia thing. But, yeah.

The outcome was both the worst and the least likely.

Was....was Ulti at the game??

Germany used their missed qualification to wipe the slate clean - they became the world power they are now.

The US needs to follow that same blueprint, to at least qualify and contend in the knockout rounds of the World Cup. Of course, since the organization is a fucking joke, I have little to no confidence in them making the right moves to do so.

Some pointed out that in the middle of all the prejudice against the southern neighbor, border wall and such... if Mexico had scored one more goal, the U.S. would be in the playoffs.

Oh well, would've been nice to see the USMNT in Russia (it's one of the few American teams that aren't dominating and thus I can sympathize). In the meantime, an homage to one that is guaranteed there:

So basically US Men's Soccer is back to not even being able to pretend like it isn't a joke.

Belgium horribly dominated this team last world cup.

You didn't even make the Euro, where there were spots for half the European countries. That was embarrassing. At least this time, in a group with a team as powerful as Bulgaria, you have an excuse. :P

By the way, you guys beat Portugal last World Cup (so mad) and Portugal won Europe last year, so USA > all of Europe


That was a very different Portuguese side with a Ronaldo that wasn't completely healthy.

I'm not saying Portugal is going to win the World Cup but they've been a better team since the Euros than they have been in years before that.

538 had the US at 93% chance to qualify.

Just goes to show you - 7% chances do hit sometimes

Yep. Portugal tied it 2-2 at the very last opportunity.

Although we did advance from the group and Portugal didn't, which I now realize is maybe what he meant.

I care about soccer to a degree, so long as the teams playing are European or South/Central American. MLS continues to be a joke, and soccer in most other regions is subpar at best (And some teams from the African/Middle Eastern regions especially make their matches absolutely unwatchable).

The only time I pay attention to US Soccer is during the World Cup.

Oh and fun fact: Panama's first goal was not even close to a goal in their game and anyone with functional eyesight could see it wasn't.

USAs fault that goal mattered though.
