The United States Men’s National Team head to Orlando tomorrow to play Panama in their penultimate match of the Octagonal World Cup qualifying round and their final one at home. With this match being a huge one for the USMNT, the first thing to do is to look at the standings to see where things are entering Matchday 13:
The USMNT, currently in 2nd place in the table, have a chance to clinch outright qualification to the 2022 World Cup. What needs to happen?
To clinch 4th place and the guarantee of finishing no worse than in the inter-confederation playoff spot, the scenario is much clearer: any result against Panama will do.
