The United States men’s national team’s World Cup preparations turned out to be an embarrasing display on Saturday.
The United States will be shorthanded in the backline for its upcoming World Cup tune-up games against Belgium and Portugal, as it was announced at a Friday press conference that both Miles Robinson and Chris Richards will be out due to injuries.
