Michael Bradley: Nobody to blame but ourselves for missing World Cup

The USMNT captain believes the blame lies completely at the feet of the team after missing out on the 2018 World Cup

U.S. national team captain Michael Bradley believes the blame for missing out on the 2018 World Cup can only be put on the team itself, which suffered a 2-1 loss to Trinidad & Tobago on Tuesday night. Coupled with the two other results in CONCACAF the loss to T&T saw the side eliminated from contention for a spot in Russia.

A controversial goal helped Panama to defeat Costa Rica while Mexico's unbeaten run in the Hexagonal was ended by Honduras, meaning the USA moved from third place in the group to fifth on the final day of the qualifying cycle.
