In 1989, this cracker of a goal by Paul Caligiuri sent the US Men’s National Team to the World Cup for the first time in 4 decades. Almost 30 years later, another win against Trinidad and Tobago on their turf is the only thing that guarantees passage. Of course, they can still advance without a win this time. Need to know how we advance? Look no further.
Bruce Arena was brought in to resolve what was projected to be a dire situation. I say dire even though Jurgen Klinsmann was ousted after losses in 2 of the harder matches in the Hex schedule: a somewhat tough luck loss in Columbus to Mexico and a date in Costa Rica where we all got spanked.
