USA vs. Guatemala didn't go very well on Friday for the USMNT, but they figured it out in COlumbus, cruising to an easy 4-0 win thanks to goals from Clint Dempsey, Geoff Cameron, Graham Zusi and Jozy Altidore. We'll let Twitter take it from here.
How are people feeling about the lineup? I'm sticking to a 3-0 USA win, assuming they bring their finishing boots: pic.twitter.com/UqwXohmxOj
The United States heads into its Olympic qualifying playoff against Colombia bearing both the brunt of national pressure and the knowledge that they’re coming up against, in many ways, superior opposition.
The emergence of Cyle Larin as one of the most talented strikers in all of North America has been as meteoric as it has been resounding. Born in Ontario, Canada, Larin is the crown jewel for a rising Canadian side looking to qualify for their second World Cup, and first since 1986.
Jesus Corona or "El Tecatito" has been touted as the future of El Tri because of his fleet-footed, skillful style of play and his ability to create a piece of magic out of nothing. This video is a perfect example of those characteristics.
El Tri has unveiled the 2016 Mexico Home Jersey for the coming year. These will be worn during some very important World Cup qualifiers and the Copa America Centenatio this summer.
The theme this year, apparently, is green.

Miguel Layun is at it again. The Mexico international notched a goal and an assist as Porto overcome a 2-0 deficit against Moreirense to win 3-2 on Sunday. His compatriot Hector Herrera also helped out, pulling off what has to go down as one of the most acrobatic assists we've ever seen
Five months into his reign, Juan Carlos Osorio is still undefeated with El Tri. He’s only had a handful of matches to prove himself, but the results he’s been getting speak volumes of the potential in the team. In four matches under Osorio, El Tri have not been scored on and the 1-0 win over Panama in his first match is the only match that saw El Tri score only once. Their most recent win was a 2-0 result over Senegal.
For a long time, Mexican players have been praised due to their talent and performance on the world stage. Great stars talk about them with respect, the most recent being Zinedine Zidane, explaining how the national team is a very competitive one.
Alejandro Bedoya deserves a call up for the USMNT when they take on Guatemala in World Cup Qualifying. Bedoya has become something of a hero of late for French Ligue 1 side Nantes. After not scoring for Nantes for nine months, the United States international has now scored four in six games. Some of those goals have been extremely important.
