Opinion: With disappointment of 2018 World Cup qualifying still fresh, USMNT’s draw feels more like a loss
Forgive supporters of the USMNT if they don’t share Gregg Berhalter’s calm and positivity.
The angst from the U.S. men’s national soccer team’s shocking failure to make the World Cup four years ago remain, making a winnable draw in Jamaica feel more like a loss.
