It’s okay to be somewhat-confident about the USMNT right now

Jurgen Klinsmann and the US national team haven’t been great at doing what they’re expected to do, but they satisfied fans with a 4-0 victory against Trinidad and Tobago.

The United States men’s national team has not always been good at beating the teams they’re supposed to beat. We all remember the semifinal loss to Jamaica in last year’s Gold Cup and the calamitous away defeat in Guatemala back in March. They managed to lose to Ukraine in a 2014 World Cup warm-up game, and, who could forget, they needed a 90th-minute Eddie Johnson header to beat Antigua and Barbuda in World Cup qualifying back in 2012.
