World Cup Qualifying: Reyna returns for Peru, Messi nets hat-trick, U.S. falls short

There was a full slate of World Cup qualifying action on Tuesday – and it did not disappoint.

In CONCACAF, the U.S. was eliminated after falling 2-1 in Trinidad & Tobago and Panama made their first World Cup thanks to a controversial goal from former Whitecaps FC striker Blas Perez and late winner from Seattle Sounders FC centre back Roman Torres.
