US men's national soccer team clinch spot in 2022 World Cup in Qatar
For four years, the U.S. men carried the sting and the shame of missing the World Cup in Russia.
It didn't matter that only a handful of players were left from that team, or that the failure prompted a reboot that has resulted in what is perhaps the greatest collection of talent the USMNT has had. Missing a World Cup for the first time in 32 years defined the current group as much as it did the previous one.
Until now.
Despite an uninspiring performance and a 2-0 loss to Costa Rica, the U.S. men officially qualified for the World Cup on Wednesday night. The loss to the Ticos dropped the USMNT a spot, to third, in the standings, but it was still enough to get one of Concacaf's three automatic spots.
