You're nervous. We get it. Tonight in Orlando, the US national team face a nothing short of a must-win game against Panama (7 pm ET; ESPN2) in the race to Russia 2018.
A win for the Americans, and everyone can take a deep breath as the road to the World Cup becomes a lot less fraught. A loss and, well, all of a sudden panic might ensue as Panama locks in their spot and a playoff against Australia or Syria remains as the only path through.
There's only one place to digest whatever happens tonight. After coverage ends on ESPN2, tune in to Club & Country: After the Whistleon YouTube or Facebook Live for complete analysis as the USMNT's World Cup hopes either receive a big boost or heap even more pressure on Bruce Arena and his charges.
