It’s time for round 2 of the Americas 2 World Cup qualifier between Uruguay and the United States, and this one is for all the marbles after the draw in Montevideo.
One step forward and one step back, waaay back. Describing the American performance in Montevideo as anything but awful would be disingenuous.
The Americas 2 qualification is a two-leg race, but one good game should get the job done, if done right. There’s no reason the Eagles can’t achieve that on Saturday.
Mike Tolkin has named his squad charged with assuring the Eagles’ place in the 2015 World Cup, with Toby L’Estrange primed to run things at no10.
