AUSTIN, Texas -- Eighty-one minutes into Thursday's Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal first leg against Trinidad and Tobago, the misery index for the United States men's national team was redlining.
The U.S. had been playing with a man advantage for more than 43 minutes, had dominated possession to the tune of 75% and had nothing to show for their efforts on the scoreboard. The attack was basically unwatchable for much of that time. Even VAR seemed to working against the USMNT, denying it what was initially given as a 60th-minute penalty when Weston McKennie was felled in the box by T&T's Daniel Phillips.
