Ricardo Pepi scored two goals for USA in the team’s October opener against Jamaica. The Americans looked like a different unit Sunday against Panama, managing just five shots and none on target. There’s some leeway with Christian Pulisic and Gio Reyna not with the team but a disappointing performance against Costa Rica will have fans worried.

Costa Rica has been solid in the October slate of qualifiers, drawing the opener against Honduras before securing a 2-1 win over El Salvador. This team has a star experienced goalkeeper in Keylor Navas and a veteran forward in Bryan Ruiz, which could be enough to provide the Americans with a challenge.
