The US national team will aim to get back on the saddle in the hexagonal round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, as they head to Central America to face 2014 World Cup quarterfinalists Costa Rica on Tuesday evening. The teams enter the second matchday of the hex following vastly different results in the opening round, and both countries, among the favorites to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, will look to rack up points in their qualification quest.
The first two rounds of the hex are among the toughest of the 10-game gauntlet for the USMNT.
