After Gregg Berhalter announced his roster for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Jamaica and Mexico last week, I have finally been able to roll my eyes forward again from the back of my head, where they have been stuck wondering why he chose some of the players that he did.
A Sergino Dest stunner and an own goal created by a Timothy Weah strike were all the United States men’s national team needed to overcome Costa Rica to take all three points in the final game of this round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers at the Lower.com Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday night.
On a night when the U.S. men’s national team was left frustrated by the inexperience of the referee and the lack of a video assistant referee, they finally put it together in the second half as Ricardo Pepi scored both goals to give them a shutout win over Jamaica at the Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas on Thursday.
