Bobby Wood continued his fine form at the start of the second half when he brought the USMNT back level with Mexico. The Hamburg striker equalized just minutes after the restart and seems to have cemented his place as the USMNT’s number one striker. Wood took advantage of some sloppy defending when he split the […]

The Start to the Hex hasn’t gone as well as the USMNT might have hoped and a Mexico goal in the 20th minute meant the American fans would have to wait until next time to see their favorite scoreline. Miguel Layun of Mexico took the ball off Michael Bradley about 3o yards from goal before […]

The first game of the Hex is coming on Friday, and the United States will face Mexico at Columbus’s MAPFRE Stadium, the traditional hosting site for these crucial rivalry games. Perhaps this match can serve as a respite from the hateful and divisive talk that has emanated from this year’s, um, interesting presidential election. Hopefully, […]

Dos a Cero. The Spanish phrase that means “two to zero.” I’m assuming that if you clicked on this post, and are therefore a visitor of 32 Flags, the phrase has meaning to you. It’s the magical phrase signifying the scoreline for the last four US home World Cup qualifying matches against Mexico as well […]

Heading in to the next international break USMNT manager Jurgen Klinsmann finds himself in a very unique position.

On the […]

Germany seems to be a popular destination for US players. If you’re not watching every weekend you could miss what […]

So, that Pulisic boy had a good game last night. Well, good is putting is fairly mildly. In his first start for the United States, Christian Pulisic not only played the full 90 minutes, he was the stand out player on the pitch. For a kid that hasn’t even hit his 18th birthday yet, that’s incredible. […]

Barring something ridiculous, the United States in through to the next round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Whether or not it advances as a group winner or as runners-up depends on how it fares tonight in Jacksonville against Trinidad & Tobago (8 p.m. ET, FS1). Looking at the table, it would take a […]

With the USMNT win over St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the United States has all but locked up qualification to the final Hexagonal round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying. In order for the US to not advance they would need to lose to Trinidad & Tobago at home while Guatemala would have to defeat St. Vincent […]

As the away team who is also a heavy favorite in CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying, you can never really tell if you’re going to win until the final whistle. For the United States, they were the heavy favorite and took care of business winning 6-0 against Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the tiny island […]

The road to Russia resumes today for CONCACAF sides, and the United States will be in action against St. Vincent and the Grenadines (3:20 p.m. ET, BeIn Sports). It looks like a mismatch on paper, but there’s still plenty on the line for Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad today: Getting to the Hex: A win today won’t […]
