COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The United States men's national soccer team's (USMNT) trip to a World Cup championship started Friday night, and News5 caught up with fans in Colorado Springs.
USMNT got the win Friday night in dominating fashion against Paraguay by the final score of 4-1.
News5 went to Jack Quinn's in Downtown Colorado Springs as fans watched the win. We spoke with one person about his expectations for USMNT.
"I am hoping they get past the group stage, they have the talent to do that," said Mahesh Patel. "Hopefully they get to the quarter finals, that would be a success for them if they do that."
USMNT will take on Australia next Friday in Seattle.
