USA v. Jamaica, 2022 World Cup Qualifying; What We Learned

The US started off hot, with an early goal from Tim Weah. The team looked like they were going to comfortably win the match, only for Michail Antonio to score with an absolutely thundering strike from way out. After that, the US seemed to lose their edge and game descended into a plodding mess. Looking at how few quality chances both teams managed to produce, a draw was probably fair.

Strictly speaking, a draw is a good result for the US on the road. However, it’s very disappointing and dispiriting after seeing the US put on such a strong performance against Mexico just a few days earlier.
