World Cup Qualification Match for USA against Guatemala
The U.S. Men’s National Team has a big game coming up this week against Guatemala on the road. There are four matches left in the fourth round of qualification for the World Cup. This is probably the toughest match of the six in the fourth round of qualifying for the World Cup for the Americans. The USMNT. team wants to avoid tripping up in Guatemala, and history hasn’t been kind. In the five previous World Cup qualifiers, they’ve only won there once back on August 20, 2008. Guatemala is playing with a renewed confidence under Claveri following wins against Honduras and El Salvador. If the USMNT don’t manage to take all three points from this match, there’s going to be a real chance to fail to get out of this group. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann and the USMNT are being favored in this match, though the margin is not big. The soccer match between Guatemala and USA will take place on Friday, March 25, 2016 at 10:06 p.m. ET at Estadio Mateo Flores. The soccer game will be broadcast on beIN Sports TV.
Guatemala head coach Walter Claveri had 18 players from the 23-man roster training in Guatemala City this past Monday. Guatemala has the most capped player in the history of soccer, Carlos Ruiz. He leads the team with 59 goals. Minor Lopez or Henry Lopez should join him up front, while Fredy Thompson might end up being the only experienced midfielder in the lineup. At the back, it’s entirely possible that Guatemala will call upon a pair of MLS players, Elias Vasquez of Real Salt Lake and Moises Hernandez of FC Dallas.
U.S. men’s national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann unveiled a 26-man roster on that features a host of veterans, a couple players who may be battling injuries and two more who could be helping the U-23 team qualify for the Olympics. Klinsmann is using every resource at his disposal in an effort to win the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Guatemala. This is going to be a war for sure, and the Americans haven’t proven enough of lately. We can’t see anything better than a draw here in a very important match for Klinsmann and the United States.
