World Cup Qualifying a Difficult Task for U.S. MNT on the Road Against Central American Teams

Oct. 6, 2004

CHICAGO (Oct. 6, 2004) – Of the 14 World Cup Qualifying matches the U.S. Men's National Team has played in Central America since 1965, the team has won only three of them, with all three of those victories coming in Honduras. That means that heading into Panama for Wednesday's game (live on Fox Sports World at 8 p.m. CT), the U.S. is a whopping 0-for-10 in earning three points in World Cup qualifying games in Central America not played in Honduras. Of those 14 overall games in Central America, the U.S. has lost five times and tied six, demonstrating just how difficult it is to qualify for the World Cup against countries that take home-field advantage to the next level.
