Weston McKennie didn't watch the final minutes of the United States men's national team's loss to Trinidad and Tobago in the CONCACAF Hexagonal stage, a result that kept the Americans out of the World Cup for the first time since 1986—two years before the 19-year-old was born.
He saw the two T&T goals, the first courtesy of a botched clearance by American central defender Omar Gonzalez that went into his own net and the second a long-distance laser from Soca Warriors right back Alvin Jones. And McKennie watched a tally early in the second half from his friend Christian Pulisic, which gave the red, white and blue a chance.
