GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- Omar Gonzalez will never forget that night in Couva, Trinidad, when the United States crashed out of World Cup qualifying. How could he? The 29-year-old described it as "the worst day" of his career and said the fluke own goal he scored to hand the Soca Warriors the lead in their 2-1 win would "haunt me forever."
But while the U.S. soccer community has been left to pick through the debris and begin the raging debate about the future of the U.S. national team at all levels, the players involved have had no option but to move on.
