At midnight last night, the reality still stood that the\u00a0USMNT\u00a0<\/strong>did not qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup\u00a0<\/strong>in Russia next summer. A stunning 2-1 loss to\u00a0Trinidad & Tobago\u00a0<\/strong>combined with Panama and Honduras getting wins against Costa Rica and Mexico respectively, and the dreams came crashing down as this will be the first time the USA has missed the World Cup in 32 years.<\/p>\n

Not a lot of people took it well. As always, they took to Twitter to voice their displeasure.<\/p>\n

Now, a lot can go into voicing your annoyance or anger into Twitter.<\/p>\n

Some like to make it a joke.<\/p>\n

A lot of Americans won’t be happy next summer, knowing that their beloved Red, White, and Blue won’t partake in such a huge tournament. Well, now who must they cheer for? You could always go Germany. The World Cup powerhouse. Or Spain. But if you want to stay in the\u00a0CONCACAF\u00a0<\/strong>region, who?<\/p>\n

When worse comes to worse, El Tri is the way to go.<\/p>\n

Wait, There’s More?<\/h2>\n

Oh yes. There’s more.<\/p>\n

You should never lose anything to T&T. Never. Not anything. If one person can point them out on a world map, cheers to you.<\/p>\n

Does anyone think players will take a knee for the new anthem? Some think it fits them pretty well. Thoughts?<\/p>\n

No wonder the guys played like trash. The starting XI was literally garbage bags. (Except you WonderBoy. You’re doing just fine.)<\/p>\n

seems pretty accurate #USMNT<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/56OqN6nfSR<\/a><\/p>\n

Hopefully reading this, if you missed the match, you’ll understand the performance of the USMNT last night. Two things we all can agree on:\u00a0Alexi Lalas\u00a0<\/strong>was right from the start<\/a>, and\u00a0Taylor Twellman\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>sums up\u00a0all\u00a0<\/em>of our frustration<\/a> with G-rated language.<\/p>\n

So, in the meantime, we can all lay in bed depressed eating chocolate…<\/p>\n

What is your one word to describe the #USMNT<\/a> at this very moment?<\/p>\n

But in the end, we all need to get over the fact that the direction has gone downhill since the acquisition of\u00a0Bruce Arena<\/strong> as head coach. Do changes need to be made? That’s an opinion. But it won’t change the fact that……<\/p>\n
