The former national team boss admitted that his team failed in 2017 but added Italy proves there are no guarantees in World Cup qualification
Former United States national team manager Bruce Arena admitted his team “failed” when it did not qualify for the 2018 World Cup, but also noted the improvement of CONCACAF.
The Arena-led U.S. entered the final day of the region’s qualifying needing just a point against Trinidad and Tobago to guarantee a spot in the 2018 event in Russia, but a shock 2-1 defeat denied the Stars and Stripes entry to the summer tournament.
