SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras -- United States manager Bruce Arena said he thinks the U.S. Soccer Federation needs to be "shrewd" when it comes to selecting venues for World Cup qualifying.
The choice of Red Bull Arena as the venue for last Friday's World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica was a talking point following the team's 2-0 defeat.
There was a sizable contingent of Costa Rica fans in attendance that made themselves heard throughout the match, though it was by no means the majority of fans inside the stadium. Costa Rica also has a history of success at the venue, having prevailed 1-0 in a friendly back in October of 2015.
