Down to their last kick in stoppage time, the Americans benefit from an own goal on a corner kick to equalize before scoring twice in extra time to advance.
Antonee Robinson and the U.S. had a tough time with Jamaica and Damion Lowe on Thursday night in the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals. ARLINGTON, Tex. — As the 2026 World Cup draws closer, expectations surrounding the U.S. men’s national soccer team will swell with each match. The days of accentuating growth in a young squad will soon fade, usurped by uncompromising demand to beat most opponents and at least test the mighty rest.
The U.S. team will seek its third consecutive tournament trophy Sunday night against Mexico or Panama, who clashed in Thursday’s late game.The Americans were on the cusp of a brutal defeat, one that surely would have turned up the heat on Coach Gregg Berhalter. But after falling behind 31 seconds into the match — the earliest goal they’ve conceded this century — they received a miraculous lifeline on the final sequence of regulation when Jamaica’s Cory Burke headed the ball into his own net.
More significant matters than the Nations League await Berhalter’s squad, but the troubling start and failure to respond Thursday until the dying seconds sounded the alarms. The U.S. lineup included players from four of Europe’s top five club circuits: English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A and French Ligue 1.
