For the first time since 1986, the United States will not be a part of the World Cup.
A win or draw on Tuesday night against Trinidad and Tobago would have been enough for USA to qualify, but the nightmare situation played out in full - with the U.S. falling 2-1 while both Panama and Honduras won to leapfrog the Americans in the CONCACAF standings.
Heartbreak, disappointment, shock. Those are just a few words to describe the emotions of U.S. soccer fans at the moment, who will not see the Red, White and Blue compete on soccer’s biggest stage in Russia next summer.
