USA face Jamaica in World Cup qualifying

The US will be seeking their first World Cup qualifying win in Jamaica as the two top teams in Group A square off in back-to-back matches, beginning Friday in Kingston. The Americans continue their qualifying run to the 2014 World Cup when they travel to Kingston for the first contest. The teams meet again on Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio. The US have earned draws in their previous four attempts to win qualifying matches on Jamaican soil. “Obviously these are two huge games for us with six points on the line,” said coach Jurgen Klinsmann. “We are in a good position at the moment in our group, but we are going into the games against Jamaica with the mindset that we want to win both. “We feel very confident in the group that we have coming in. We are developing a lot of good chemistry and experience in the team, and now our goal is to become more and more consistent.” The US and Jamaica lead Group A with four points after two matches.
