To make Scotland and Wales feel a little bit better, the Seppos just got dumped out of the World Cup by....
(drum roll).......
Trinidad and Tobago
On the bright side, they did avoid the wooden spoon.
Essentially, needing just a single point from a draw to guarantee a spot at Russia 2018 and playing a country that was out of contention, without a win five games, had secured just one win in nine group games and was fielding a largely inexperienced line-up, the US lost 2-1.
Late goals propelled Panama and Honduras over the United States and relegated the US to a 5th place finish in the six-team final qualifying group.
*snigger*
Given the plethora of US sports threads on here it’s just as well they didn’t qualify. We’d never hear the last of it.
The only truly international sport they have is basketball. With 300 million to choose from they should do well, but all they want to talk about is ‘American Football’. lol

Couldn't avoid them as a stupid school rule was had to get a chit and wear your school uniform when went into town on Saturday afternoons, we had school on Saturday mornings. Although being a rugby playing school as opposed to the detritus at the local comps who played chavball we were somewhat fitter and stronger than them so on the odd occasion when trouble did arise with the low born natives they more often than not came off second best.

That picture is not very flattering. Try this one.
