ASN Morning Read: Onward, to the Analysis!
The World Cup qualifiers are over, and now it's time for the United States men's national team to figure out what happened (they didn't win) and what needs to happen (win). It's a simple recipe, really.

- Here's What to Make of the Two September Qualifiers
- "In two crucial qualifiers, Arena could have been better. He could have been a lot worse, too, and the team remains a heavy favorite to reach the World Cup. The path has a couple more twists and turns than American supporters would like, but the goal is within reach. In the end, getting to Russia is the only thing that will define Arena's success or failure as a coach."
- "On Tuesday night, with the qualifying campaign on the ropes, they showed they are ready and willing. Pulisic drew the free kick but three members of the American generation just ahead of Pulisic’s turned it into a goal. Acosta took the free kick; Morris kept the ball alive; and Wood slammed it home."
- Wins are important:
