Here we are once again. The CONCACAF Hexagonal barges its way back into our lives tonight as the United States play their fifth World Cup qualifier in this final round. Through the first four, it’s been an uncharacteristically slow start for the Americans, one that cost Jurgen Klinsmann his job and left a lot of people worried about the potential for clinching a spot in Russia 2018.
With a quick turnaround and a date with Mexico at Azteca looming, this home qualifier against arguably the weakest team remaining in the Hex is a virtual must-win.
