I gotta give US Soccer some credit for keeping this video alive. It sure is a humble reminder of how far we fell in missing out on the 2018 WC and it was due to awful defense. No pressure. Not even able to clear a simple cross. The team that has now advanced to the Round of 16 in Qatar is a thing of beauty. They play assertively, with style, savvy, and artistic flair. They held England to a scoreless draw, when that team has enough firepower to light up just about any country in the world. Please just keep Zimmerman on the bench and we should stand a fair chance to beat Netherlands.
This game was unfortunate because the first goal was bad luck and the second was an incredible shot. Fast forward 5 years and our guys have virtually zero experience plus absolutely atrocious coaching and they still qualified for the knockout stage. The future looks bright for 2026 when we have home field advantage
All three goals were conceded because someone was left wide open 🤦♂️
Looking back on this comment, everything you said was right except about Zimmerman. Tired of the whole "MLS man bad" trope. Zimmerman was the reason we stayed afloat against Iran.
Fair enough@@TylerWalter92 I was probably overly harsh on Zimmerman back then because his foul allowed Wales to score from the penalty spot and steal two points from USMNT. He's a good player and certainly MLS players have played important roles in USMNT World Cup success in the past.
Nah. You don’t ever let this game fade.
You plaster this all over the training grounds.
Never again.
Never. Again.
Disgraceful. Embarrassing. Unacceptable.
For USA? Oh-Oh, the BIG USA HAS FAILED! YAY FOR TRINIBAGO!!! WOO!
@@anisep9576 what 😹
I live in Brazil and was visiting Boston back then. I remember pretty much every American football fan I knew seemed to be so thrilled about how the sport was gaining public, how much investment was being made, and how the US were making progress at the international stage... Then, this ice bucket...
I’d argue it’s back on the right track after the 2022 World Cup. People all over the place were going crazy whenever the US scored
The saddest part is that the best player on the field is 19 years old and he's better than the entire squad. The dumb players that you call veterans are not even experienced, and shouldn't even be called veterans. Why?, Because Christian Pulisic is way better than all those experienced players. I thought that we were ready to qualify. Just one win away, but no. Where the f*ck was the pressure at the entire game.
Jose Gutierrez not only that he ain't a full American he's part Croatian. 😂
Dreidon 17 he was born in America dumbass and has lived his whole fucking life there
Dreidon 17 Pulisic should switch to Croatia
Damn Weebs he's cap tied. Plus he's never been to Croatia why would he?
So sad for pulisic woulda been a great experience but these “vets” had to fuck it up.
The arrogance here is disgusting. "We have thousands of medals" "soccer isn't our #1 sport" "US is better at everything"...this is the mentality that leads to us missing the World Cup. Who cares how many Olympic medals we have, where soccer ranks, or fucking US politics when it comes to the sport of soccer? It's all IRRELEVANT. It's a cop out. Let's put PRESSURE on our soccer program and realize that the fact that we can't make the World Cup is SHAMEFUL. No more "we are good at x though, so suck it" COP OUT. It's not the American reject sport it used to be. The only way things are going to change is by taking responsibility and recognizing that it's time to get serious and stop giving US soccer a pass
Win Ring Notice how the people saying that aren't saying anything to you. well said.
Per capita, USA's medal table is not that impressive.
Win Ring Fucking this
The UK annihilates USA per capita at Olympics. Alex has to support Germany since USA are so garbage lmao
lol @ basketball, only USA and Lithuania play that as first sports. You say Tennis, Andy Murray has been #1 for a couple years until recently, USA's best player is like 15th in rankings lmao How did you like that 4-1 spanking from the England U-17? Should have been 5 if the ref was competent.
This is #1 on my top 10 saddest anime deaths list...
It wasn’t sad it was fucking hilarious
Tasty Lizard not hilarious is embarrassing
who got u into anime you or all kids nowadays
Pulisic is clearly the best player on the team. But you can't rely on a kid that's 10 years younger than you to carry you to the World Cup.
Tapan Parekh True his even in a German Club
And I thought us English losing to Iceland was bad.
Anyone else before the final window of 2022 qualifying still traumatized?
Looking at this video again, I can’t believe this video was even posted. But it’s also nice to look back and see how far we’ve come since this game.
5 years have passed, and this moment will never be forgotten in the history of usmnt.
Nah. March 30, 2022 made USMNT forget that moment in Couva and never came back to it.
Pathetic performance... Absolutely embarrassing
Trinidad B team
how incompetent do you have to be to lose to them lol
Luis Roman ajajajaja
Trinidad C team. They weren't even subs,they were a makeshift reserve team.
usa lost versus some farmers 🤦♂️
Jones and winchester weren't B team
So are we not gonna talk about that insane goal at 1:21?
Ikr? So cool! I support those trinidadians because I am one of them :)
He said fuck it, imma shoot
Fun fact: that is the only goal he’s EVER scored for Trinidad and he plays in the US third division
Sick shot. A real beauty for sure
It beat Tim Howard
Who's here after the USMNT redeemed themselves and qualified for the World Cup?
Me. The failed qualification in 2018 was the best thing that could've happened to the USMNT.
They qualified on goal difference - so it wasnt that confident qualification after all. They almost blew it again.
@@arminiuszmazowszanin2670 So? Manchester City won an EPL title on goal difference in 2012.
The USMNT won a group in the 2010 FIFA World Cup over England due to goals scored.
If you make it, you make it. Case closed.
Disgrace
It's now 2020 and this moment will never be aged.
Whenever I wanna laugh, I look at this to remind myself it’s always not as bad as this
Chicago fire will represent the U.S
Andrea Love I'm sure the fire would of at least held a tie..
r10sneakers1533 lol
I understood that reference
Why don’t y’all understand the MLS became known thinks to David Beckham not because the USA players are good
Good job my trini people, Trinidad good job boom.🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Too bad you couldn't go boom more than once
@@earlspencer7863 Yo stop ruining the trini moment I love them bc I live there
I agree with Jen J and Reginald
@Reginald Naz Mohammed yea 7-0 boom :/
They didn’t even make the World Cup that year.
Y’all suck again
T&T keeper had some nice saves tho
this video deserves more likes, totally epic
Funniest thing is that Pulisic could have played for Croatia.
@@michaelgove9349 On numerous occasions Christian Pulisic has said that he and his family pronounce it that way tho. It is an Americanized pronunciation
@@douglasbuchanan9474 No it isnt. It's a Croatian name so pronunce it Croatian way. It's not "sic" it's "sić"
@@arminiuszmazowszanin2670 he can pronounce it the way he wants.
@@arminiuszmazowszanin2670 Ok Karen.
So if he played for Croatia instead, could they have won the World Cup?
As an outsider let me tell you this: Scrap the whole team now (except the few young expats). You're basically at 0, so you might as well commit to it and *start rebuilding from scratch today* . No more dragging things on. And fire Gulati.
Def fire Gulati, but don't destroy the whole team. Rather, rethink the squad and look for new talent and create that talent.
lmao well then, that’s exactly what happened
@@JacobMeza-pro-footballer Damn right
@@JacobMeza-pro-footballer We did it
wish they had not scrapped Juergen Klinnsman as coach....maybe he could have avoided this disaster!
The saddest part was T&T had nothing to lose.
Lovely Trinidadian long range goal. Vertical bender with just enough forward velocity and stabilizing rotation.
Absolutely deplorable.
Love to trinidad from USA 💘
:D thank u for supporting us Trinidadians
Get rid of Dempsey,Howard,Altidore,Bradley,Guzan etc...
Altidore can stay, hes still pretty young
I kinda agree, kinda disagree with you. I think Altidore can stay around for the next qualifying cycle, as for the most part he's proven himself to be a reliable goal scorer during qualifying stages (the first 8 games of this Hex are more of an exception to that). It's his actual tournament record that causes me to want to disagree; perhaps I'm being a tad harsh, as he tends to get injured when one comes around, but that's still not helping his case either.
Raptor5000, we can keep Dempsey for part of next year: let's get him as the USA's all-time leading goalscorer. Howard's done, although I'd like him to get one last shut-out in for the US before retiring from national team service. Bradley can stay in Toronto, and Guzan can stay in Atlanta.
Altidore was one of our best players in the hex, he wasnt great yesterday, but hes earned his place (im not saying i want him starting in 4 years, but around the team)
Dempsey and Timmy deserve a send off (its not like we have anything but friendlies for a while)
Bradley should have been dropped years ago
Get rid of everyone but Pulisic, Yeldin, Brooks, Jones, Altidore, Acosta #MAKEUSSOCCERGREATAGAIN
My ideal roster for Qatar 2022. Thoughts?
Goalkeepers: Ethan Horvath, Jesse Gonzalez, Zack Steffen
Defenders: Matt Miazga, Erik Palmer-Brown, John Brooks (assuming he's not injured), Cameron Carter-Vickers, DeAndre Yedlin, Jorge Villafana, Justen Glad, Fabian Johnson
Midfielders: Gideon Zelalem, Darlington Nagbe, Kellyn Acosta, Christian Pulisic, Emerson Hyndman, Paul Arriola, Juan Agudelo, Kelyn Rowe
Forwards: Julian Green, Jordan Morris, Bobby Wood, Dom Dwyer
Who agrees that tim Howard should retire
Logan JB He did, Our new goalkeeper is actually pretty good now
#BRUCE ARENA OUT!!! That was the most pathetic display of the game i've seen at this stage.. Why play for a draw from the first minute??? Unbelievably idiotic game plan from Arena. We paid the price and looked completely garage against the lowest ranked team in the group.... But above all else, R.I.P. to Pulisic's international career. Huge opportunity wasted. This has already been deemed the most embarassing moment in USMNT history... This will probably also halt the growth in popularity of the sport in the US as well, since hardly anyone will watch the next WC in the US. What a shit show
He tried to play for a draw with only one midfielder in the entire lineup. He really is a moron.
List of players who should never play for us again
Howard- He was good 3 years ago, but he is just way too old.
Guzan- See above
Villafana-Shit
Beasley-Too old
Cameron-Too old and getting worse. Still one of the only good passers in our pool though.
Besler- I like him but he has no future
Gonzalez- Worst defender in US history. We could have used Cameron, Miazga, or even some random MLS or USL player and they would have done better than Gonzalez has ever done for the US. Remember how he cost us the win against Portugal after coming off the bench right at the end of the game?
Zusi- No explanation needed.
McCarty- I like him but no future
Nagbe- Has some talent but contributes fuck all. Extemely overhyped
Arriola- Tries hard but no actual talent.
Zardes- Obvious to anyone with any soccer knowledge
Morris- See above
Bedoya- See Arriola
Mayyybe Altidore- I still think he has some legitimate talent,
Dempsey- Give him some testimonial November friendlies for a chance at the record. He was a post away from being the hero last night, and he deserves to go out with more dignity than this shit that Arena has given him.
Bradley and Altidore will be the main targets for blame as usual. There are legitimate criticisms of both but they have both been hurt more than anyone else by tactical incompetence at the coaching level. But you can't criticize Bradley for struggling in what was essentially a 4-1-5 formation in Trinidad, with Arriola, Nagbe, and Pulisic all being very forward thinking midfielders to go along with our 2 strikers. Bradley had no defensive help at all. Altidore is a good passer and has a good tactical understanding of the game. He isn't good enough at arials where you can just hoof passes at his head and hope something good happens. He needs to be allowed to receive the ball somehow. With our 1 midfielder Bruce formation, that "somehow" ends up being him dropping all the way back next to Bradley, which is not where we want him. They might both still have a place on the team, at least for now.
This is how I would like to proceed.
Coach: Tata Martino
GK: Horvath
Rb: Yedlin
Cb: Miazga
Cb: Brooks
Lb: Vincent (we have literally no other options right now, but I'd prefer to avoid MLS players)
Dm: Bradley (Jonathan Gonzalez will probably play for Mexico now so nice job Bruce!)
Dm: McKennie
Rm: Pulisic
Lm: Green
Cam: Gooch or Hyndman
St: Wood
as soon as they fired Klinsmann and hired Bruce i knew USA was going no where. Should have stayed with Klinsmann, he at least improved the team and got them in the World Cup
the same coach that in 2002 almost beat Germany in wc.
stefancelmare21 2002 was also the most talented player pool we ever had. Young Donovan and Beasley, Friedel, prime Reyna and O'Brien, Eddie Pope, McBride, all better than what we have now (other than Pulisic).
Oliver Linehan brooks is dogshit aswell. One of the worst cb's I've ever seen player for the us. No strength no speed and an absolute donkey
I'm sad as hell, but it's all good. . I know next time around we will be ready with brand new talent ! ALWAYS A USA FAN🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 FUCK ALL HATERS!!
Bruno Lucero U 17 world cup
by new talent you mean an old Tim Howard, Micheal Bradly, Jozy Altidore, Beasley, and other senior citizens run under Mr.Bradley cause incompetence is the name of the game right ?
E R 2022 tho...
E R in five years lol
I know being willfully ignorant is an easier way to cope but you're also going to miss the real problems. This teams talent pool is running dry and what talent we do have is not being put to its full potential. We've lost that US mentality that gave us a lot of our success in previous world cups and now all we're left with is mediocre players with seemingly a lack of interest or passion for the USMNT. Sure we'll probably be back in 4 years but was that really the goal anyways? Just to qualify?
One of the best players in the entire world is here in the United States. He's only 8-10 years old right now but one day he will be the best in the world. The problem is he Doesn't Know It. In fact he probably doesn't have a clue about soccer as of yet. And sadly we will likely never find him. This can't happen in the future. We need to find this kid. Before he goes on and chooses football, basketball, or some other sport. Best soccer player in the world ends up being just a kinda decent basketball player. Or maybe he never plays any sports at all. He ends up a dentist, a civil engineer, a drug addict/criminal, or whatever. Potential lost because it'll just be a potential that's never even known. We have to find these kids before they move on in life to something else.
Very well said. I will venture to say countless people miss out on countless opportunities in life because they did not know what they did not know. BTW, it's not so bad that soccer's loss would be dentistry's or engineering's gain.
Four years later usa in 2022.
You dont deserve be paid, WNT should take all your salary
Hadrián Souto González The USWNT lost 8-2 to the U-17 MNT. The USWNT doesn't play any good teams and would get destroyed by most men's, or shall I say boys team.
thats besides the point the women are winners at their game and the men are losers at their game winners should be rewarded and losers should be fired
New England Rev's In 2015, WNT bring to the federation more money that MNT, but WNT recived 2 millions by winning the Word Cup and MNT recived 9 millions by losing in the second round of the 2014 World Cup.
Hadrián Souto González It’s revenue WNT doesn’t get as much views as Men. Simple. To be honest 2mill is Good pay.
absolute truth
Most of us Americans don't care about missing the world cup or soccer in general. This sport is 5th in popularity in the US for a reason.
I’m here to cope some more after getting grouped in Copa America 😔
And the worst part is this 2017 team would beat the 2024 team
Vengeance is ours!! We remember 1989! Doh feel we forget...
And five years later, the USMNT is back on the FIFA World Cup stage. The failed qualification for Russia 2018 is now a distant memory.
See you in November in Qatar.
Alvin Jones!! THE SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD!!! Now that is a REAL shot heard around the world!
I give up on us soccer
Me too.
_Glitchy This is when we need everyone to come together to start something new
Quitter. Get back here.
@@yuch1102 You're the dumbass. It's just a name you cretin.
For all the united States fans
You can go blame dat bigger and Bob Muller for talking trash in the concacaf cup😂
Na na na na... Na na na na... Hey hey hey... Good bye! ♫
I can't watch the entire highlights... After the 2nd goal.... #heartbreak
Fucking embarrassing. How has Bruce Arena not resigned yet
US Soccer Federation, The fans and supporters do not deserve this
Even if USMNT gets rid of all the old players, it's not like we have a bunch of quality young players ready to take the helm. Pulisic is about it. Nobody likes MLS players. We won't recover from this. It's over.
Jose Galdamez someone clearly is not aware of our youth players.. But the closest to Pulisic level would be Weston Mckennie
We prob have 5th-3rd best youth in the americas just because arena likes 35 year olds doesnt mean our youth isnt good enough
thats why our u-21's go deep into tournaments..
Mexican troll
Learn about some of the youth before commenting. McKennie, Yedlin (still young), Acosta, Wood, Miazga, Saief, Carter-Vickers, Horvath. That's just to name a few. Even Josh Sargent, who is only 17, has already signed for Werner Bremen and will begin playing after his 18th birthday.
Nowhere to go but up. Still a USA fan a long as I’m alive. ONTO QATAR 2022! 🇺🇸⚽️
they don't deserve fans. apart from Pulisic most of the current team is either too old/past their prime or absolute trash. The US team was at their prime in 2013 and somewhat decent in 2014. Since 2015 they've been garbage. I'm done supporting this team. Oh and Bruce Arena is a moron.
SirBullet754 if you don’t stick around when times are tough then goodbye and good riddance. I’m not ever turning my back on my own county.
Joel P.- Oh I stuck around. After a humiliating 2006 World Cup, a disappointing and embarrassing loss to Ghana in the 2010 world cup. and a team that has been complete garbage since 2015. But now they don't even qualify for the Cup with just needing a draw against Trinidad and Tobago? Fuck that. I can't support a team that plays this horribly. I am tired of the constant disappointment. They 1989 team that barely had a professional team qualified for the 1990 World Cup, and these pompous little assholes can't even qualify for 2018? Even when despite their horrendous mistakes they were given a perfect chance here? All they had to do was not lose against the worst team in the Hex that had already been eliminated. And they failed. So fuck them.
SirBullet754 look man I know it’s ugly but that’s just how life is sometimes. I know this team can bounce back, and I mean I’m a Mexican-American so I constantly have to deal with criticism from them. This is gonna be a running gag for the next 4 years but I don’t mind. It’s just a game in the end.
Joel P.- I get it. But the only way they're going to bounce back is if they make real changes. Right now I can't watch anymore of these games. They need to change the youth system and get rid of all of these old players. I have no idea how Michael Bradley is still playing. Talk about nepotism. And Tim Howard is waaay past his prime. Look this just really pissed me off, because they got so many chances to do it right, and then this is how they fail to qualify? One thing would be if their last game was at the Azteca against Mexico, but this? No, for the moment I'm done. I'm actually Italian-American and was born in Italy but moved to the US as a child and for over half a decade I've witnessed the Italian team just humiliate themselves in two consecutive World Cups, and now my other favorite team isn't even going, and technically Italy hasn't even qualified yet so that's yet to be seen, but if they're just going to humiliate themselves again like in 2010 and 2014 they might as well not go either. I might as well root for Iceland, a team that deserves respect for managing to qualify.
USA v TNT, 1989 & 2017
The two most important games in our teams history (for better or worse)
Missing out on the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia was the best thing that could've happened to the USMNT.
USA was actually not knocked out at the end of the match, Mexico had a free kick just outside the Honduras box
But Mexico failed to give help when it was most needed (they let down South Korea as well)
Canada would have made Hex if Mexico actually tried to beat Honduras in the last round. Not much of an effort led to a draw.
1. Dethroned is a really strong word to use for any U.S. soccer team.
2. Alvin Jones's goal was a nice knuckle ball.
USA is a powerhouse in CONCACAF though, can't deny that
Howard retired after this performance right?
I'm not mad, just disappointed
Watching this night before redemption starts.
Lmao
Watching it the day of redemption 🤞🤞🤞
Ussoccer should hold tryouts across America ages 10-25, and get all the players that would never get a chance in the pay to play system
No, they need to open up the system (pro/rel) so there is no more pay to play at the highest level.
No, they need to open up the system (pro/rel) so there is no more pay to play at the highest level.
All they had to do was beat Honduras or Trinidad and Tobago to qualify..... they couldn't even do that.
all they had to do was tie trinidad and tobago XD
United States MNT misses World Cup for the first time since 1986
I love watching this video. makes me glad I only support the winners of us soccer, the women
Hannah Muehlenkamp who loses to u15 boys
Is this modern feminism ?
Fuckin hurts to watch.
It’s almost 3 years later and not only did the USMNT not rebuild, the us soccer federation is a bigger dumpster fire than it was 3 years ago when we failed to achieve something practically garunteed
No olympics either
The arrogant mentality made the US miss out on the biggest sporting event in the world.
This day I will never forget, forever ingrained and branded in my brain. Now watching the World Cup with no pride.
This is what happens when you invest all the soccer resources into the women. Plenty of great American soccer players at the U-17 level, but there's almost nothing for them at the college level so most of them end up trying other sports or just moving away from athletics altogether. And nothing will be done about it because feminism.
Maritza Piccarillo the us did not change the name of the sport

REACTIONARY NONSENSE!~DID YOU FORGET THAT ARENA WASN'T EVEN AROUND FOR 2 OF THE GAMES. His hex record was 3-2-3 and would have qualified had Klinsmann been let go after that disgraceful decision to leave Landon Donovan home for the last WC. LETS FACE IT, THOSE WERE 2 LUCKBOX GOALS BY TnT.
Never been a fan of Omar- he just reminds me of Onyewu, slow and dumb as a brick. I don't think we will see him in a MNT shirt again after that "clearance", which he clearly didn't see until it was about to fly by him.
flowthrupranayama
Its both Arena and JKs fault.
You cant just blame omar and not the guy who picked him to start or even be on the roster.
You are correct. However, Arena is still an excellent coach and the players are mostly to blame for the lax performance.
The worst mistakes, 1-2 vs Mexico 0-2 vs Costa Rica the own goal vs Trinidad & Tobago.
The Colombian player did die.
American people do not worry that the United States does not go to a world cup of soccer that is more football than its invented sport. You worry that your team does not go to the world series, the superbowl, the nba finals, or the stanley cup. Admit it do not like the most popular sport in the world.
Well, now maybe US Soccer will realize that there needs to be a total revamp of the development system here. I feel bad for Pulisic, he's stuck with all these scrubs.
USA for 2022
I'm still laughing xd
USA has a striker problem. We have studs at every position, but no fox in the box. Look at all of our results from 1998-2014...McBride, Donovan and/or Dempsey figured heavily in all. Come 2017, Dempsey is a reserve and we’re counting on Bobby Wood? The US can have the best 10 in the world for all I care but until we have a striker that can start in the Premier League, get used to this.
Pulisic?
No more Pay-To-Play
Horrible feeling, but man props for that strike. Wow.
Pulisic really deserved the experience of the world cup. Too sad for him man :(
He's too young, and now you guys have great players like Weston, Sargent, Steffen, Dest, Konrad, etc. Let's see if the 🇺🇸 can qualify to this world cup. Good luck! 😊
Dempsey for sure also deserved to go to the finals for his last world cup..he got robbed as well
He’s back in there but it looks like we are gonna get eliminated lool
MEXICO > US4
HOLD THIS L SON HAHA
@Miguel Cortez Jr. i remember us4 not qualyfing for the world cup good times
US4 ? lol
Jajajajajajajajajajajajajaja 2 - 1
Dethroned? Haha! From what?! The USA men’s team has never been on the throne!
from 8 consecutive world cups
Who’s here after we won the 2026 World Cup?
Me!!
u have to qualify first
I be back in 5 years
@Kevin Ramirez Ramirez that trophy has the same valuable as a used toilet paper 😭😭
We're gonna find a way to fuck this up. It happens every year.
Great game from Trinidad. Can't believe the U.S. is out of the World Cup.
Had to watch this over again after today’s results
But mexico is our favourite victim. We beat them like 3 times in a row
Na na na na, na na na na,heyyyyy goodbye
i watched the tackle in the box on trinidad tobago five times...the USA defender did not touch the ball AT ALL until after he wiped him out with the tackle..that was a penalty kick!
Even the WNT can do better. They came back and won against Brazil recently.
Nate Raymond the women deserve the salary these guys get tbfh they can actually put on a good show
1:20 just look at the space he was having. It was like "go ahead boy".
TIM HOWARD WAS THE CAUSE!!! Cmon man , cant be that sloppy.. easy goals
ITS official They should have brought Steffen. Us would have won if they did. Even Guzan would have been better
I was shocked to see Benny Feilhaber was playing for USA in 2017
I was not a big football fan when this happened. Had USA tied would they have qualified for the WC
10/10/17 Remember this day 😢
Nah. March 30, 2022 was more memorable.
October 10, 2017 is a very distant memory and ain't coming back to it.
rename the title to "Why the USMNT didn't deserve to go to the World Cup"
Trinidad for the dub
I played rec league soccer and never once did I turn my back when the opponent player was about to launch a ball. I count at least 5 times in this match where our "elite" players are scared to get hit by the ball so they just turn their back on it like pussies.
I didn't watch the whole game , but I heard by many people the US team had a relaxed, not really caring if they made it to world cup or not, Panama and honduras were willing to die to make it
I think the whole team went and ate at a steak house right before the game 🤣 what a disgrace..
I didn’t know there were ever any highlights during that game
Just watched this again in the wake of a USA-less World Cup draw (of what has to be the weakest World Cup field in ages, one in which the USA--in a more "normal" year--very well could've made the semis given the right draw), and I'm even more astonished now than then at the unreal amount of luck that it took to keep us out. That shot at 3:05 AND the great saves by the T&T goalkeeper AND the real chance at 3:28 AND the phantom goal by Panama (a crazy bad call that you don't even see in CONCACAF very often)...
Philip McNiel yeah maybe but not the semis
Definitely the quarters, as long as they didn't play like they did in T&T.
p.s. I'm kind of rooting for Panama and Argentina now--Panama because they were so close to making it last time and it's kind of the last hurrah of their golden generation (I'm hoping against hope that it's not too late for that), and Argentina because Messi deserves to lift a World Cup in his lifetime.
Oh, and Costa Rica because it sounds like a nice country I'd like to visit when I'm older and richer and it would teach the other countries not to scoff at the difficulty of CONCACAF qualifiers (though most of that difficulty is due to their local climate advantage, which showed more in Brazil than it will in Russia).
Make a film from this, Hollywood!
We're back (not officially but even what happened here is more likely to happen than the scenario that would force us down to 4th)
Lackluster effort. Very sad.
Both of those goals are on fucking Howard wtf were those efforts
if i didnt know any better, this felt like a friendly
Ok -- I come back to this and pause on 1:19 ---- Like I dont understand how someone gets that much space. I really dont. He literally has no one within 20-25 YARDS of him!!!!
Sean Whitaker from that distance he’s really no threat, unless he scores an impossible goal like he did
