The United States national team is not in the position it wants to be in for 2018 World Cup qualifying, sitting in fourth place on four points in the Hex round in CONCACAF. With a visit from last-place Trinidad and Tobago set for Wednesday, the USMNT is in an absolute must-win situation to secure itself a better spot in the table — especially with a match against Mexico looming this weekend.
USMNT vs. Trinidad and Tobago 2017: Time, TV schedule for World Cup qualifier
The U.S. needs to start improving its World Cup qualifying standing in a hurry.
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports
It’s been nine years since the United States lost to Trinidad and Tobago, but this USMNT side hasn’t consistently been in the best form during this World Cup qualifying cycle. This time, the team needs Clint Dempsey, Christian Pulisic, Michael Bradley, and Co. to be at their absolute best, because coming away with anything but three points and an emphatic victory is unacceptable.
The USMNT has only five more matches after this one to secure an automatic bid to the World Cup in Russia next summer. And with the way the table is shaking out, every dropped point from here on could prove massively painful.
