SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — Despite being able to lose by five goals or fewer against Costa Rica Wednesday and still qualify for the World Cup, coach Gregg Berhalter and players for the United States men’s national team maintain their intent to win remains unaffected.
Few players remain from the group that failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, but the lesson remains.
“Obviously, we’re in a great situation and we know that, but I think going into the Trinidad game we thought we were in a good situation as well,” said right-back DeAndre Yedlin, one of four players, along with Christian Pulisic, Paul Arriola and Kellyn Acosta, on the current roster who played in the notorious loss to Trinidad and Tobago in 2017 that kept the team out of the last World Cup.
