Uruguay 1-0 USA

Still lots of footie to play yet so I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed!

 

[Buzz]

Dangnamit!

The US lost to Uruguay!

The US failing to advance at a tournament that they are hosting is a bit embarrassing. Calls for Gregg Berhalter's resignation having been growing for several years now, and this will only add to that effort from the US fans.

Do they get automatic entry to worlds that they are hosting along with the rest of the Americas?
