Trinidad & Tobago just scored againt USA to go 1-0 up.
USA are still through, but if Honduras or Panama go a goal up, USA would be our opposition to get to the World Cup
Ans I did not read your comment correctly Thry...

He should be sacked immediately.
We can't have a different coach after the last qualifying that is ridiculous.
All good MIO.
Personally, I think its genius.

AUSTRALIAN football is in shock after revelations Ange Postecoglou has no plans on leading the Socceroos at next year’s World Cup.
A Herald Sun report reveals Postecoglou will walk away from his post next month, regardless of whether his team qualifies for the tournament or not.
Postecoglou had originally earmarked a plan to step down after the competition, starting in Russia in June next year, but appears to have brought his exit forward in a stunning turn of events.
The 52-year-old’s shock decision is prompted by the scathing criticism he has received over recent months, according to the Herald Sun’s David Davutovic.
The bombshell comes just a day after the Socceroos survived a tense playoff against Syria with a 2-1 extra-time win in Melbourne.
Postecoglou has endured a tumultuous few months after Australia failed to qualify directly for the World Cup.
Australia still has to progress past a home-and-away playoff against a team from the CONCACAF region to secure a berth.
How this revelation affects his player’s — many of whom are extremely loyal to the boss — remains to be seen.
Australian football must also decide if it wants Postecoglou in charge during next month’s matches against the fourth-ranked team from the Americas — or to immediately install his replacement.
Tony Popovic and Graham Arnold have already been earmarked as potential replacements by former Socceroo Dean Heffernan.
“After the success we’ve had with an Australian-based coach you’d think Football Australia would want to continue on with a local coach,” Heffernan told Fox Sports 500.

The former Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory mentor took the reins of the national team in 2013, losing all three group stage matches at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil before claiming the 2015 Asian Cup on home soil.
He has been criticised by former Socceroos players this year for changing the team’s formation but has refused to change an approach he felt would leave the team best-placed to win in Russia.
“I think it’s shocked everyone but the word coming out seems to be that he’s just had enough of being undermined,” Fox Sports commentator Brenton Speed said.
