Daily News | The U.S. men’s soccer team’s final World Cup qualifier is also the end of an era
The end of the 14-game World Cup qualifying tournament roller coaster.
If, as everyone expects, the U.S. men don’t have to qualify for the 2026 World Cup that they’re co-hosting with Canada and Mexico, Wednesday’s game will be the last qualifier that the team plays for at least six years. Since the World Cup grew to 32 teams in 1998, Concacaf’s grandest soccer theater has been the “Hexagonal” qualifying format: a set of small groups that qualify six teams to a final round-robin battle. This year, the Hexagonal grew to an eight-team “Octagonal” because the pandemic shortened the qualifying window.
