The nightmare scenario has played out for the U.S. men's national team.
A roller coaster of a qualifying campaign ended in shambles, with a stunning 2-1 loss to Trinidad & Tobago, coupled with wins by Panama and Honduras over Costa Rica and Mexico, respectively, has eliminated the USA from the World Cup. The Americans will not be playing in Russia next summer.

Sam’s Army adopted
red because it looks good on tv ...

This is not the first time Red has been the predominant color in recent years.
Yes but. sam’s Army has been wearing Red for over a decade - I’m thinking the team just wanted to go along with their fans ...
Y'beat me to it.
We had to play both Trinidad & Tobago- at the same time?
Gee...
