After an eight-year wait, the US Men's National team secured a spot Wednesday in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, although not in a way the team would have preferred.
In its 14th and final match of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, the US clinched a spot with a 2-0 loss against Costa Rica at Estadio Nacional in San Jose, Costa Rica.
"I'm extremely proud of this group," US star Christian Pulisic said. "It's a bit of a weird feeling right now because I hate to lose so much, but I'm really proud, and I can't wait to go to the World Cup."
Venezuelan authorities are investigating opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for alleged treason after she expressed support for a US bipartisan bill that seeks to block Washington from doing business with any entity that has commercial ties with the government of Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro.
Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick to lead the intelligence community, was briefly placed on a Transportation Security Administration list that prompts additional security screening before flights after her overseas travel patterns and foreign connections triggered a government algorithm earlier this year, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
