    Something they didn't include in the video: Because Trinidad was already eliminated from WC contention, they didn't bother calling in many of their usual starters and opted to play more untested youth players instead.
    That's right. The US somehow managed to lose a must-win game to Trinidad and Tobago's **B TEAM**

      I'll take younger players over 30+ aged players any day of the week. National soccer is too disorganized to worry about systems and experience. You have youth, common sense formation, and kick azz focus on set pieces then you can go far.

      It's easy to fail when you do no serious rebuilding for 14 years. Our 2002 World Cup squad was the best US team ever assembled, and instead of going out to identify and develop new stars of that caliber, US Soccer simply sat on their duffs and hoped new starts would fall out of the sky. What's worse, US Soccer learned nothing from missing the World Cup.

    With the way the US played in CONCACAF qualifying, they had no business going to Russia.

The US also would not have beaten the English, Belgians, Germans, Koreans, Swedish, Japanese, Mexicans, or any other nation that got to the World Cup. The point is, the 32 teams who played in Russia last summer deserved to be there. The US did not.

      They lost because they had nothing at stake, while the opponents knew they had to win or be out of the world cup.. Honduras and Panama played possessed especially knowing that the US was trailing 2-1... Mexico and Costa Rica had the quality but being in the world cup already why would you risk injury on a meaningless match.. you're just playing for pride.
      The US is at fault for playing as if they were assured victory just for showing up to the game... once they realized a loss was actually going to result in them being ousted from the world cup they tried to tie it with no time left... it was a team full of settlers that didn't deserve a chance at the world cup tbh.

    That game that night had a buch of over-aged players that looked so gdamn lethargic that our GK'er couldnt even get to the far post on a 40 yard kick by T&T. Howard, Bradley, Cameron, Gonzalez, Altidore and Dempsey all looked totally exhausted.
    This is also why I had NO issue with Landon Donovan being left off of the 2014 Cup roster, he was over the hill and Klinsmann and his staff knew it. We were already and older team going into that World Cup with guys like Jermaine Jones, Clint Dempsey, Jozy Altidore, DeMarcus Beasley, Matt Besler and Geoff Cameron.

    Actually you missed a important point about the revenge issue in 1990, Trinidad needed a win or a draw to go thru to the world cup and was upset by USA.

    I'm from Trinidad and Tobago, I'm sorry to say that we relished this. This was received with the same happiness as making the world cup itself at home. Lol. Excellent video.

    You guys should do one of your rewind videos about Inesta´s goal against Chealsea in 2009. It would be nice to here your take in that story. If you need help just ask.
    good work.

    Bear in mind: Landon Donovan warned in ESPN that if the USMNT did not qualify to the World Cup, they should fire their soccer coach right on the spot. He said this days before the match. Guess what happened. Also, guess who was their coach...

    Hey SB Nation. I love these videos. Your next "the Worst" video should be about Orioles first baseman Chris Davis. His 2018 season was so bad I'm thinking about praying for him, and I'm not even an Orioles fan

    This is the first time I'm seeing these highlights, just as painful now as it was that night...
