United States vs. Trinidad and Tobago: World Cup qualifying match time, TV, live stream
By Matt Snyder
The United States will host Trinidad and Tobago in a World Cup qualifying match in Denver on Thursday night. Here’s how you can watch on online or on TV.
The United States Men’s National Team continues the fifth and final round of 2018 World Cup Qualifying as they take on Trinidad and Tobago in Denver on Thursday night. This will be the fifth match of the 10-match qualifying round and will complete their first cycle through the double round robin Hexagonal.
The United States currently sit fourth in the six-team standings. The top three teams at the end of the Hexagonal round will receive automatic qualification into the 2018 World Cup (in Russia) while the fourth place team have to play a one-match playoff with the fifth place team in Asia with the final World Cup spot on the line.
Qualification got off to a rough start back in November when the United States lost matches against Mexico and Costa Rica. The sub-par performance spurred a managerial change: Jurgen Klinsmann was fired and Bruce Arena was brought back in to stabilize the situation.
Facing dire circumstances, the national team rallied to pick up four points in March with a big 6-0 home win over Honduras and a draw on the road to Panama.
They’ll need to continue to pick up points in order to assure themselves of a top-three finish. They can’t afford to drop points to Trinidad and Tobago, especially at home. A draw would keep them afloat, but anything less than a win would be disappointing.
Here’s all the info you’ll need to find tonight’s qualifying match on TV or streaming online.
