The U.S. Men’s National Team will miss the World Cup for the first time since 1986. The Bruce Arena-led squad failed to secure a point on the final day of CONCACAF qualifying and shockingly dropped from third place to fifth place in the regional standings. 

Trinidad & Tobago, with nothing to play for, defeated USA 2-1 thanks to an own goal from Omar Gonzalez and a screamer from Alvin Jones. USA’s lone player Christian Pulisic managed to score a goal in the second half, but failed to create much else against a home team that had nothing to play for on Tuesday after already being eliminated from contention from the World Cup during the last set of games. 

Following a miserable night, perhaps the worst, in U.S. Soccer history, here are the best tweets in response to the USA missing out on the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
