A goalless draw with Mexico in the first game of the international break was far from the worst result for the United States, but the need to notch up that crucial win to reach Qatar is only growing now.

Having made a World Cup debut four years ago in Russia against all expectations, Los Canaleros are sizing up unlikely back-to-back runs to FIFA's biggest tournament.
