The U.S. men's national team must have a short memory when it takes on historic nemesis in Sunday's Concacaf Nations League final. That doesn't mean it can't take any lessons from Thursday's near disaster against Jamaica.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Say what you will about the lackluster performance and — let's be real — the lucky, fluky, last-second own goal that saved the U.S. men's national team from suffering a humiliating 1-0 defeat to Jamaica in Thursday's Concacaf Nations League semifinal. None of it means anything anymore. All that matters now for the Americans is winning Sunday's grand finale against its historic nemesis, Mexico.
Dest was suspended for Thursday's encounter after picking up a red card in the quarterfinals. 'Sergiño adding that offensive quality is a wonderful thing,' winger Tim Weah said. 'It just helps me a lot on that side. It allows me to use some more of my other qualities rather than just being on the ball all the time. I can let him handle the ball, and I could get behind the defense and run a lot more than I did against Jamaica.
