If you’re an American football betting fan, then you know how terrible the last few football games have been.
The US Men’s National Soccer Team have been breaking expectations, making deep runs in recent international tournaments. However, this recent debacle hurts the Americans’ chances in making it to Russia as World Cup competitors.
Costa Rica 4-0 USA
Jurgen Klinsmann quickly went from hero to zero after the team suffered a humiliating string of games against their neighbours.
The impact of USA’s narrow loss to Mexico was definitely felt when the Costa Ricans brought the visitors to the ground. The hosts managed to avenge their 4-0 loss to the Americans during the Copa America last summer.
Not much action happened in the game despite the visitors having the slight advantage in possession. La Tricolor had fifteen shot attempts the whole game, so one was bound to pass through Brad Guzan’s gloves.
Johan Venegas scored the first goal right before the half-time break struck. The Americans failed to keep the hole from expanding when Christian Bolaños sealed the three points for the hosts. To add insult to injury, Arsenal’s Joel Campbell came in for Venegas and scored a double within four minutes.
German football regular Bobby Wood and Christian Pulisic failed to make an impact as the game ended with the crowd at the Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica erupting in cheers for the home side’s superb performance.
Thanks to this result, Costa Rica sit atop the group table with six points and are on their way to qualifying for Russia. The United States, meanwhile, are looming at the bottom of the table and need change fast.
We do not know if the change the team badly needs involve their German gaffer getting the axe.
