THe US played with 11 non-starters, so that tells you something right there. But from all accounts, we had every opportunity to get three points out of this game, but, as usual, we simply failed to do so. But the tie at least lines us up ahead of Trinidad, so that's something. People that still home for a straight ticket to the World Cup are devastated, but I think they should have to play another team to earn their way.
The team would be either Bahrain or Uzbekistan (I think) and as long as they can stay ahead of Trinidad, that's what's going to happen. After all, if you can't beat those teams (Trinidad, Bahrain, etc.), you don't deserve to go to the World Cup. Why? To embarass yourself? It would be historic though... (not the embarassment)
