USA NOW FIRST IN OCTAGONAL STANDINGS AS PULISIC SCORES FIVE MINUTES AFTER ENTERING MATCH AND MCKENNIE NETS LATE INSURANCE GOAL; USMNT CLOSES OUT NOVEMBER WORLD CUP QUALIFYING WINDOW ON TUESDAY, NOV. 16 AT JAMAICA (5 P.M. ET; PARAMOUNT+, UNIVERSO)

CINCINNATI (Nov. 12, 2021) -- Christian Pulisic scored just minutes after entering the match and midfielder Weston McKennie netted a late goal in the 85th minute to boost the USA to a 2-0 win over archrival Mexico before a sellout crowd of 26,000 in Cincinnati. The win wrote another chapter in the storied history of Dos a Cero victories for the United States over Mexico in home World Cup qualifiers.

With the win, the USMNT moved to the top of the Octagonal standings. While the USA and Mexico are now tied on points with 14 each halfway through the World Cup qualifying slate, the Americans hold a slight edge in goal differential. The USMNT will finish this World Cup qualifying window on Tuesday, Nov. 16 at Jamaica (5 p.m. ET; Paramount+, Universo).

The victory was the USA’s third against El Tri in official Concacaf competitions in 2021, marking the first time the USMNT has beaten Mexico three times in a calendar year. The U.S. is now 5-1-1 in home World Cup qualifying matches against Mexico since the 1998 World Cup cycle, with all five wins coming in the state of Ohio by 2-0 scores.

 
Captain America came through! CLUTCH!

And a good bit of trolling to the Mexican keeper who's been on that team for what? Twenty years? Seems like it...

I'm more optimistic than I have been that the US will qualify for the World Cup. What the team does when it gets to Qatar is a complete mystery. Berhalter is like a barner coaching in voodoo land. He knows how to beat Mexico (three straight), but he also knows how to screw up everything else, especially when he keeps relying on MLS players.
 
Dammit to hell! Berhalter is a #*^$(_@$&#_R%($7amn disgrace! How in the hell does the US beat Mexico and then turn around and tie Jamaica?!?

This should be Berhalter watching his internationals the next couple of weeks:
