Following a dramatic win against a stubborn Honduras team that fans greeted with a measured and reasonable reaction that wasn’t angrily unhinged and overly emotional given the result because the team didn’t play like how @BerhalterOutAlphaChadStayHard gets his team to play in FIFA, the USA took on Mexico. El Tri, managed by Tata Martino who everyone that doesn’t like Gregg Berhalter would prefer coach the USA, struggled somehow worse than the Americans and had to beat Costa Rica in penalties to make the final.
In the end, the Americans would come out ahead in a completely off the rails game thanks to a never say die spirit, a couple of goals off of corners, a penalty converted by Christian Pulisic and another one saved by Ethan Horvath.
