After loss to Mexico, US heads to Costa Rica
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — The United States is in danger of becoming the fourth team to start 0-2 in the final round of CONCACAF’s World Cup qualifying since the hexagonal format was adopted ahead of the 1998 tournament.
The Americans traveled to Central America on Sunday, two days after a 2-1 loss to Mexico in Columbus, Ohio — the Americans’ first home loss in qualifying since 2001. They are 0-8-1 in qualifiers at Costa Rica — losing their last eight in a row.
