The team enjoyed the day off from training last week as we headed down to RFK for the USA vs. Costa Rica World Cup Qualifier.
We weren't sure what we would get with the USA having already clinched a birth, but they would not dissappoint. The game was full of excitement as the USA created numerous scoring opportunities, but failed to capitalize and Costa Rica would counter with two early goals. The second was a tremendous shot from outside the box that went upper 90.
The USA kept fighting and made a strong push in the second half and finally got one back in the 70th minute. The closing minutes were frantic as the USA was pushing everyone forward. The dramatic game tying goal was off a corner in the 5th minute of stoppage time and it sent the crowd into a frenzy. Not a bad way to take a break from the practice pitch...
