How to watch USMNT vs. Jamaica in 2022 World Cup qualifying

Share

The U.S. men’s national team is riding high after a “Dos a Cero” victory over Mexico on Friday. Now, the squad looks to keep that momentum going into Jamaica.

The USMNT faces a familiar foe on Matchday 8 of 2022 World Cup qualifying. The team has already beaten Jamaica in qualifying, earning a 2-0 victory on Oct. 7 in Austin, Texas. Sitting in first place in the CONCACAF qualifying standings at the halfway point, the U.S. men have a shot at another victory to close out the November window.

While the current first-place standing puts the USMNT in a good spot, it has several teams on its heels in the standings. A loss, or even a draw, could prove costly as the U.S. men seek to return to the World Cup stage in Qatar. A win, meanwhile, will keep them in a premium position heading into 2022.
