A little more than a week after the United States Men's National Soccer Team lost to Brazil at FedEx Field, 4-1, they hope to rebound in their first game in the next leg of World Cup 2014 Qualifying. On Friday night, the team will face Antigua and Barbuda at Raymond James Stadium in the first game of qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.
Right now there are 12 teams in the Confederation of North, Central American, Carribean Association Football (CONCACAF) that are still eligible for qualification for the 2014 World Cup. Those nations have been separated into three separate groups. The winner and runner up in each group moves onto the next round where they can clinch one of 32 spots in the World Cup.
Along with Antigua and Barbuda, Jamaica and Guatemala are in the United States' group. Qualifying games will take place starting Friday and go all the way through October of this year.
Antigua and Barbuda has never qualified for the World Cup and is currently ranked 105 by FIFA.
The game between the United States and Antigua and Barbuda will be broadcast live on ESPN starting at 7 p.m.
