The next three games for the United States Men’s National Team will determine their fate when it comes to if they will be back in the World Cup or once again watching from home. At the very least, it will decide if they will play in the World Cup playoff by finishing 4th in the Octo. In order to meet that minimum expectation, the team will need three points to book their ticket to the play-in match.
Obviously, the ideal scenario would be qualifying directly. With a home match against Panama sandwiched between away games in Mexico and Costa Rica, the team will have to dig deep to get points outside of the USA.
