ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The U.S. beat winless Honduras 3-0 in a World Cup qualifying match. Weston McKennie and Walker Zimmerman had first-half goals to give the U.S. an early spark on a frigid night. Then a fresh Christian Pulisic scored after entering as a second-half sub. The Americans emerged from the pandemic-prompted winter session in second place in the CONCACAF group with three matches in March to go. The kickoff temperature was 3 degrees with a minus-14 windchill factor in St. Paul, Minnesota. The site was picked by USA Soccer along with Columbus, Ohio, for optimal home-field advantage over opponents from tropical countries.
