The moment U.S. soccer fans have been dreading eagerly awaiting for four years is finally here. The U.S. men’s national team competes in World Cup qualifying this fall, and fans are both excited by the squad’s results this summer and nervous about getting their hearts broken again. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch USMNT World Cup qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.

Futsal’s importance to developing great footballers has never been a secret.
Brazil is the standard-bearer of the hard court game that favors ball control, passing in tight spaces and creativity over any sort of physical advantage.

Momentos mágicos se vivieron esta noche en el Monumental de Buenos Aires, luego de que Argentina venciera a Bolivia por 3-0. El partido era válido por las eliminatorias mundialistas, pero terminó siendo un festejo de la Copa América obtenida hace un par de meses, junto al público local, el cual regresaba por primera vez a los estadios desde el inicio de la pandemia del coronavirus. ¿La guinda de la torta? Lionel Messi, el capitán, marcó las tres conquistas y sobrepasó a Pelé como máximo goleador en la historia de las clasificatorias sudamericanas.

Facing the prospect of two points from its opening three World Cup qualifiers, the USMNT rallied for a big 4-1 win on Wednesday night in Honduras, salvaging a decent showing over the September international window.

Whisper it — anything more than a whisper and it might vanish — but Canada is on course for the 2022 World Cup (after three games).
The 1-1 draw with the United States in Nashville must’ve stirred something in the Canucks’ plums, because they came out like a side possessed on Wednesday night at BMO Field. Frankly, some of Canada’s play against El Salvador in the opening 30 minutes was disturbingly good, and 38-year-old captain Atiba Hutchinson was at the heart of it all.
How much must this all mean to the man who collected his 88th cap tonight?
Humberto Suazo volvió a hacer temblar a la afición del Monterrey.
