Looking forward & back: The last 5 USMNT games
Two wins, two ties and one loss from five games in 18 days should feel good. Why does it feel like a disappointment?

Scratching, clawing, fighting, and not pretty. That’s what CONCACAF World Cup qualifying is like and the draw in Guatemala was no different.
The final was 3-1 but the United States was far from convincing in defeating Antigua & Barbados.
The final score may be hard to predict but expect a physical game.
The US returns to a 4-4-2 in a dull game with little fireworks.
There was a lot more to the US-Brazil match than just the scoreline (such as Dempsey and Donovan pairing for the first time under Juergman Klinsmann and a whole lot of saves by Brazil’s goalkeeper). PSP breaks down the keys to Wednesday night’s game.
Neymar, Marcelo and Pato, oh my! Brazil brought their bag of tricks – and a stunning young goalie – to Washington, DC in a 4-1 victory over the United States, spoiling Clint Dempsey’s return.
Landon Donovan earned your hat, and the midfield did the rest as the Americans dominated Scotland in Jacksonville.
A few moments of magic were not enough to nudge the United States into the semi-finals of the Olympic qualifying tournament. El Salvador’s 96th minute tying goal sent the young Americans home long before anybody expected them back.
Joe Corona’s hat trick led a rampant United States U-23 national team to victory over Cuba. Freddy Adu scored a wondergoal and Amobi Okugo was in fine form. Sheanon Williams watched from the bench as the Americans leaped to the top of their qualifying group.
