In the days leading up to the CONCACAF Nations League semifinal, Antonee Robinson said that he wantsed a U.S. men’s national team triumph to become an expectation. He wants other countries to find this competition boring. The result, in Robinson’s ideal world, would be decided long before a ball was kicked; it would be owned by the USMNT.

Well, Robinson’s dream is now pretty damn close to reality. The USMNT continues to dominate the Nations League, having now won all three editions in this tournament’s short history.

The road to their latest triumph wasn’t easy. The U.S. needed a last-gasp equalizer to survive their encounter with Jamaica before swarming the Reggae Boyz in extra-time. Mexico, though, wouldn’t be anywhere near as strong, as the U.S. beat El Tri all over the field to dominate in yet another Dos a Cero under the bright lights.
