There’s been plenty of hand-wringing – much of it justified – about the US Men’s National Team and its failure to qualify for Russia 2018. It’s important to note how impressive the streak had been before this year, though. Can you name the six countries that matched that 24-year run?

It’s OK to be very sad about missing the 2018 World Cup – I share those feelings. But the quality of the streak sort of indicates that US Soccer isn’t in the pits just because they missed out once (especially when – HINT! – one of the correct answers is also sitting at home this month).
