It was an unlucky day at the office for the USMNT tonight. The host nation endured a shock 2-1 loss against their Group C rivals Panama for the Matchday 2. The latest result has put their qualification for the next stages of the competition in danger. That said, the only burning question in the minds of ardent fans is whether Christian Pulisic and Co. can qualify for the quarterfinals.
Well, to give all the American supports a sigh of relief, yes, there is still a chance for the USMNT to make it to the knockout stages. However, that would require some groundwork from Gregg Berhalter and Co., but they shall cross their fingers too.
Firstly, they would be required to win against Uruguay and qualify given that the goal difference is better. Next, Panama Vs Bolivia ends in a draw and they either draw or win vs Uruguay. Finally, Panama loses vs Bolivia and then the US can either win, lose, or draw vs Uruguay.
