Did the USMNT make the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022?

The World Cup is finally just a few weeks away. With it, the participation of 32 teams that will seek to win the medal that any player has dreamed of winning with his country. In that sense, one of the big questions is whether the United States team will participate in Qatar 2022. Gregg Berhalter's team will be in Qatar 2022 and has been placed in group B with Iran, England and Wales.

Evidently, the failure to qualify for Russia 2018 left an unprecedented void in soccer in the North American country. This caused controversy at the time, since four years earlier, the United States qualified for Brazil 2014 without any problem and had a certainly outstanding performance where they reached the round of 16 of the tournament in the South American country.

However, now, the Stars and Stripes have brought in a new generation of players with names such as Christian Pulisic, Sergiño Dest, Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna, among others. Likewise, the United States national team would qualify for the World Cup by finishing in third place in the CONCACAF octagonal final round, losing in the last match against Costa Rica.

Despite finishing in third place, the playoff result ended up being somewhat misleading. The USMNT played their best soccer, even beating the Tricolor in the first leg in Cincinnati. However, they were unable to prevail in the zone after the excellent momentum of the Canadian team. One of the main problems of this team was against Central American teams, where they struggle in their aggressive games and dropped many points at their stadiums.

Now, the USMNT will face a really tough group in Qatar 2022 where England is one of the favourites. However, the American team should be able to compete for the second spot that also gives a ticket to the round of 16. 

What was the USMNT's best participation in a World Cup?

Surprisingly, the United States' best participation was in the first edition of the World Cup in Uruguay 1930, where they finished third. However, in recent years, and the one that provokes more memory at least on Mexican soil, is the qualification to the quarterfinals in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup after defeating Javier Aguirre's Mexican national team in the round of 16 by the iconic score of 2-0 with the help of a young Landon Donovan. In the next round, they lost to Germany by a score of 1-0, thus concluding a historic participation.
