CARSON, California (Reuters): Failing to qualify for this year’s World Cup finals had been buried and the focus had now shifted to getting back to the global stage in Qatar in 2022, players from the United States’ men’s soccer team said on Thursday.

“The whole focus is on the future,” forward Jordan Morris told Reuters at the end of a sun-drenched first day of the team’s training camp in Carson, California.

“We can’t change the past, we can only move forward.”

The US surprisingly failed to qualify for the finals in Russia when they were beaten 2-1 by Trinidad and Tobago last October.
