When Honduras midfielder Rommel Quioto delivered an expert finish in the 27th minute in Tuesday’s World Cup Qualifier in San Pedro Sula, the U.S. Men’s National Team faced a harsh reality.
Just four days after falling 2-0 at home to Costa Rica, the U.S. went into the locker room at halftime trailing once again. This time though things were different -- with a loss to Honduras, the U.S. would lose control of its own destiny to gain one of CONCACAF’s three automatic World Cup Qualifying berths.
“We’re coming out at halftime and we’re like, ‘We’ve got to get a goal if we really want a good shot of going to the World Cup,’” Jordan Morris said post-game.
