Antonee Robinson says he wants to help the United States win the CONCACAF Nations League so often that opposing nations get bored.
The Fulham full-back is part of the American squad aiming to win the trophy for a third consecutive tournament over this international break. Gregg Berhalter’s outfit will have to beat Jamaica, who have Robinson’s club team-mate Bobby De Cordova-Reid in their ranks, in Thursday’s semi-final before they can think about lifting the silverware following a final against Mexico or Panama.
The left back told the press earlier today:
“Every time we play for a trophy, it means something. But I want to keep winning this trophy. I want only us to win it to the point that it gets boring to people that we keep winning it. We always focus on the bigger picture, we know the big, big picture is the next World Cup, but we obviously have a lot of steps in between. We’ve got this Nations League and then the Copa [America], which is probably the second biggest tournament after the World Cup that we can play in and is going to be a real test for us. We’re all looking forward to it. Some big friendlies, more Nations League, a Gold Cup next year, so there’s plenty of opportunities to practice in knockout competitions before the big one.”
