United States men's national soccer team Concacaf World Cup qualifier vs. Costa Rica: Live stream and TV info, USMNT roster

The USMNT will face Costa Rica - traditionally one of the top national teams in Concacaf - in its third and final World Cup qualifier during the October window at Lower.com Field in Columbus on Wednesday.

So far, the U.S. has experienced an up-and-down qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The USMNT opened this qualifying window with a 2-0 win over Jamaica in Austin, Texas. It followed up that with a dismal performance against Panama in Panama City, losing 1-0. This marked the USMNT's first-ever World Cup qualifying defeat to Panama.

In Costa Rica, the USMNT will meet a formidable foe, one that has reached four of the last five World Cups, which includes a quarterfinal appearance in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
