On Wednesday evening in Nashville the US Men's National Team once again looked like the CONCACAF regional giants that we are beginning to become accustom too. Jozy Altidore became the youngest American to ever record a hat trick in a World Cup qualifier. Landon Donovan once again proved that he is one of the best, if not the best player in the region. He assisted beautifully on all three goals and truly out classed the Trinidad and Tobago defense all night long. Special props also go out to Brian Ching was undoubtedly played the best international game of his life. He was strong on the ball and made crisp passes through to Donovan all night long.
With the victory the US (2-0-1) remain a top the hexagonal group with seven points, followed closely by Costa Rica (2-1-0) with six, Honduras (1-1-1) with 4, Mexico (1-2-0) with 3, El Salvador and Trinidad and Tobago (both 0-1-2) with 2 points. The next qualifying matches will take place the first week in June. The US will face it's toughest challenge this year when they travel to Costa Rica on the 3rd and then come home to face Honduras on the 6th. If they win both matches as they should it could all but guarantee that they will indeed qualify for South Africa 2010.
