U.S. national team defender Geoff Cameron has laid the blame for the country's World Cup qualifying failure at the feet of former coach Bruce Arena.
The U.S. shockingly fell short of the 2018 World Cup, failing to qualify for the first time since 1986.
The team appeared to have done enough by defeating Panama 4-0 in its penultimate qualifying match, but was stunned 2-1 at Trinidad & Tobago four days later to knock the Stars and Stripes out of Russia 2018.
Cameron, a usual starter along the back line, was benched for both October matches after putting in a subpar performance in a September qualifying loss to Costa Rica.
