The US Men’s national team needed a win on Friday night in hopes of avoiding a playoff to get into next summer’s World Cup, and they got just that, beating Panama by a resounding 4-0 scoreline. Christian Pulisic scored in the 8th minute to help calm the nerves for the US, who entered the game in fourth place in the Hexagonal stage of the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying. Jozy Altidore scored off an assist from Pulisic, and then added a penalty before the break, as the US did their best to take advantage of an outmatched Panamanian defense.
