USA NOT going to FIFA world cup for the first time since 1986.
The most popular sport world-wide, and the USA, just lost 2-1 to the worst team in qualifiers... All the USA needed to do, was tie or win, and they would be playing in the 2018 FIFA World cup hosted in Russia... They however lost to Trinidad and Tobago, a team that is complete and utter garbage, guess the USA was worse this year. I for one, am very saddened about this. Football is my favorite sport, I watch it more than anything MLB, NHL, you name it, football is my go to sport to watch... However, once every 4 years, when the World Cup comes on, it is the only thing that trumps Football for me, so for me, I am really bummed about this outcome, and probably will be even more annoyed once the world cup rolls around next summer... 2010 - USA makes it to round of 16, off of an amazing Landon Donovan last second goal. 2014- USA makes it out of group of death, losses in Round of 16 again. 2017-18 qualifiers losses to a team that isn't even qualifying for the world cup... I dont know how to upload a video here but if you want to see just how awesome it is coming together to root for the USA once every 4 years, click this link below. it shows non-soccer fans reactions to our country winning in 2010 making it to the round of 16..... It was amazing, and so was 2014... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbn3rOPmR9w |

I don’t understand the people that are happy about this. I know some people don’t like soccer, but why would you want the USA to lose in anything? I don’t care about 99% of the Olympic Sports, but you know damn right I’m rooting for the USA.

I generally don't care about soccer, though watching the World Cup is fun for the spectacle.
I think most of those who are finding humor in this are those who are annoyed by the fragile soccer bros... You know the type... The guys who get shrill if you suggest is a tertiary sport in the US, at best, or that calling the MlS a professional league and trying to place it on par with NFL, MLB, etc. is laughable, etc. You know, the Nate Bukaty's of the world. I got a chuckle from that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even if they qualified they would disappoint.
If you want to watch winning US soccer watch the women.

Because we don't need to win at everything. We already have the best of all the major sports, so being crappy at soccer isn't that big of a deal.

Is it possible to just annex Trinidad and use their team?

Honest question: How does this happen? Are our top American players not playing?
