Relief all round for the US in snowy Colorado.
United States captain Clint Dempsey was the goalscoring hero for Jurgen Klinsmann’s side as they overcame Costa Rica 1-0 in their crucial World Cup qualifier in Denver.
The Tottenham Hotspur midfield player spoke after the match, which was played in abysmal snowy conditions in Colorado, and highlighted just what a vital three points this was the home side, especially considering that they had lost their one and only group fixture so far, away in Honduras.
Dempsey is now looking forward to visiting Mexico in a far harder fixture on paper – in what also ought to be in rather contrasting conditions!
