ASN Morning Read: A Draw That Feels Like a Draw
The United States men's national team didn't get three points, but they got out of Panama with one, and that's probably good enough. But where was that midfield? Also, a young star goes down.

- It could have been worse: U.S. and Panama Battle to a Draw in a Tense Qualifier
- It could have been better: Pulisic and Dempsey Thrive, But That Midfield Was Poor
- The kid can ball:
We could get used to this @cpulisic_10 and @clint_dempsey combination!

That's goal No. 56 for Deuce ??https://t.co/YAet8poim7 - Overall, it was okay: Jones, Bradley, Altidore and Zusi Disappoint in Qualifier
- Rate how you think the players did.
- Good job, good effort:
Four points from two qualifiers moves #USMNT from 6th to 4th in the Hex and raised its SPI qualification projection from 54% to 82%. pic.twitter.com/hfmJU40LYE
— Paul Carr (@PCarrESPN) March 29, 2017 - This is a good point:
Six-goal win in San Jose looms larger in tight Hex race as #USMNT now has edge in goal difference, no longer needs to make it up.

#USMNT one-v-ones vs Panama...
