The United States men's national team are tantalizingly close to punching their ticket to the Qatar World Cup but will be taking nothing for granted when they face Costa Rica on the road on Wednesday in their final CONCACAF qualifier.
It would take nothing short of a catastrophe to derail the Stars and Stripes, who would earn their spot at the 2022 World Cup with either a win, a draw or a loss by less than six goals.
The U.S. hit the road on a high after a resounding 5-1 win over Panama at home on Sunday courtesy of a hat-trick from Chelsea midfielder Christian Pulisic and sit second behind only Canada, who qualified for the World Cup finals for the first time in 36 years.
