The United States men’s national team is expected to make the Hexagonal round of CONCACAF qualifying comfortably, but they’re hardly guaranteed a spot after dropping points against Trinidad and Tobago. They’ll put themselves in some hot water if they lose away to Guatemala on Friday.
USA vs. Guatemala 2016 live stream: How to watch USMNT’s World Cup qualifier online
The USMNT can’t afford to lose on Friday.
Guatemala lost their opening game at home against T&T, but beat St. Vincent and the Grenadines in their second match. They have three points, while the USMNT and T&T both have four.
Bill Hamid, Aron Johannsson and Jermaine Jones are out of this United States squad due to injury, while Jordan Morris and Matt Miazga are with the Olympic qualifying team. Christian Pulisic has been called up to this squad, but will not be in Guatemala due to illness. MLS stars David Bingham, Steve Birnbaum, Lee Nguyen, Darlington Nagbe and Ethan Finlay have won places in this squad thanks to strong January camp performances.
