If you woke up this morning hoping that last night’s 2-1 U.S. Men’s National Team loss was just a bad nightmare, you weren’t alone.
The defeat, which eliminated the U.S. from the World Cup for the first time since 1986, was felt around the country, including by the Americans on the Columbus Crew SC roster.
“I mean I didn’t sleep well last night,” midfielder and captain Wil Trapp said. “I woke up early. I’ve never seen it. I’ve never seen a World Cup without us in it.”
Trapp was not a part of the qualification failure, but has played twice for the Red, White & Blue and was a part of the most recent January camp.
