They held the ball for 76% of Thursday's match and had a 26-1 advantage in shots. Team USA put eight attempts on target and didn't allow one.

Why you should back Trinidad & Tobago

The last time these teams met in Trinidad & Tobago, the Soca Warriors dashed the USMNT's hopes of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup with a 2-1 victory. The hosts also were able to keep the Americans at bay for 80-plus minutes on Thursday, despite being down a man following a red card in the 37th minute. The Americans even struggled to create real chances when two Soca Warriors players were injured in the second half, briefly giving the USMNT 11 men against eight for T&T.   

The Soca Warriors will go for goals, and the Americans don't have their typical firepower to counter. Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Timothy Weah and Tyler Adams are all out with injuries. Reon Moore and Nathaniel James paced the Soca Warriors in the group stage with two goals apiece. Trinidad & Tobago's 10 goals tied Jamaica for most in the four games. James, 19, earned his first cap in the group opener, Moore has six goals in 22 international games, and Miami FC's Ryan Telfer has eight in 24. See which team to pick here.
