Qualifying For 2022 World Cup, United States Ends 8 Years Of Waiting

JAKARTA - The United States national team may lose 0-2 to Costa Rica in the final match of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in the CONCACAF zone, Thursday, March 31, Indonesian Western Time (WIB). However, the defeat could not win the happiness of the Uncle Sam Country team.

The United States is still declared to have qualified directly for the 2022 World Cup. Cristian Pulisic and his friends are in third place in the final qualifying standings with 25 points.

Their points are the same as those collected by Costa Rica. However, the United States is more entitled to sit in third position because it has an advantage in goal productivity.

The certainty of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup is clearly welcomed by the public of Uncle Sam. This ended their eight-year wait to appear in the most prestigious football event in the world.

"We have waited eight years to return to the World Cup. We will log off for now and enjoy this moment," tweeted the United States' official Twitter account.

"We encourage you to do the same," he continued.

This success was greeted with joy by Pulisic. The Chelsea player hates the defeat to Costa Rica, but he thinks America should be proud of being able to qualify for the World Cup.

"In the end, we are in third place and we are going to the World Cup so we should be proud," he said.
