Filler to celebrate the Baby Yanks' finally qualifying for the 2022 Men's World Cup. They did it by the slimmest of margins, besting Costa Rica on goal differential after losing to the Ticos in San Jose, 2-0, on Wednesday night. As I said on Twitter, "Not a single complaint about how. Just happy that it is. We goin' Qatar." To which BOFOGTB T.J. Quinn responded, "Great paragraph. Until that last bit. It will never not be idiotic."
I choose to believe he's talking about the shambolic mockery that is FIFA awarding a World Cup in a shamefully corrupt way to a nation with no soccer history.
Bygones.
Here to amuse you, the best moment in recent U.S. soccer history, and a harbinger (hopefully) of things to come:
And here, a touch of the modern, Christian Pulisic's sublime third goal against Panama last week in a game that made yesterday's loss to Costa Rica a blip of a bump of a memory on the way to the World Cup.
