USA looks to bounce back in World Cup qualifying in Costa Rica
The U.S. men's national team is facing the daunting prospect of opening the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying hexagonal with no points from its first two games, but it also has a chance to make history Tuesday night.
The U.S. has never won in Costa Rica and is 0-8-1 there all time in World Cup qualifying, but the two meet in Estadio Nacional in San Jose in the second game of the Hex (9 p.m. ET; beIN Sports, NBC Universo), where Jurgen Klinsmann's side goes in search of that elusive first win.
The Americans endured a historic loss of their own Friday in Columbus, Ohio, falling to Mexico there for the first time in a 2-1 defeat. Costa Rica, meanwhile, won at Trinidad and Tobago to start the final round off on the right foot and will look to put the U.S. in a deeper hole on the road to Russia.
