For USMNT, Thursday's trip to Jamaica is about winning 'the game within the game'

With no high-stakes World Cup qualifying matches ahead of 2026, the USMNT will use its matches away from home to become truly battle-tested.

With all due respect to the night of March 30, 2022, when the United States men's national soccer team qualified for that year's World Cup after missing out in 2018, the most important moment in the last decade-plus for the USMNT was FIFA's decision to award its 2026 showpiece event to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

'I'm talking about backing each other up when hard tackles and challenges came in, getting on the referee…losing duels all over the pitch. 'There's the game and there's tactics. And then on the other side, there's the game within the game. And for us, we lost that part of the game in a big way, and obviously the result reflected that.' It helps that Pulisic is back for this one.
