The USMNT is a day away from the next game that counts in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying. It's the next must-win scenario in a schedule full of them. Obviously, all of those must-win games didn't turn into three points. Given the stakes, there's a tendency to build up the state of CONCACAF.

That point is the point for the USMNT

The USMNT got it half right in September, losing at home and picking up a desperate point on the road. That second part is nothing new in CONCACAF. The USMNT at Honduras should've felt familiar. We've seen it before and we'll see it again. It's . . .
