The United States men's national team does just enough to get a point in Honduras, staving off a riot from American soccer supporters for at least a month, and hopefully more; Bobby Wood, ftw.
- Yanks Eke Out a 1-1 Draw in Tense World Cup Qualifier
- Player ratings. And rate your own.
- "This US group has more talent than any other in US history, and more depth, and more options, and in theory have more ways to get wins. They have more ways to control games.They only infrequently show it. For the next 180 minutes, they have to rediscover that ability to be more than the sum of their parts or there will be no trip to Russia, and it won't be Jurgen Klinsmann's fault."
- That could have gone so much worse:
Two #USMNT wins basically clinch a top-three spot. Win vs Panama + draw at T&T would probably be enough. https://t.co/VCu81iLLjj

— Paul Carr (@PCarrESPN) September 5, 2017 - Who you starting against Panama?
- Get thee to Trinidad & Tobago:
#USMNT can't clinch a WC berth until final day of Hex, at T&T.

Only other time in modern era that U.S. clinched on final day: 1989, at T&T. - Smart final thought:
gonna be great to watch beasley in a world cup on home soil in 2026.
